woody73 Posted July 30, 2009 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2009 We are considering a cruise on either the Amsterdam or the Statendam later this year. Are there any major differences? What are the conditions of these ships? Which would you recommend and why? Thanks in advance. Woody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted July 30, 2009 #2 Share Posted July 30, 2009 We have sailed on both. The Amsterdam is just a little larger than the Statendam and much classier. The Amsterdam also has elevators midship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted July 30, 2009 #3 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Amsterdam. We think it is just the right size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catl331 Posted July 30, 2009 #4 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Been on both and Amsterdam is my favorite of all HAL ships. I cringe when I see a review criticizing the decor because it is supposed to look like a ocean liner of yore. It is in great shape and easy to get around on.:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Himself Posted July 31, 2009 #5 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I have been on both ships and I would go Amsterdam. I think she is the nicest ship in the whole dam fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clogaltocruise Posted July 31, 2009 #6 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I've been on Amsterdam once and Statendam twice with a third coming up in September. If it was a choice between the two and the itineraries were similar, I would go with the Amsterdam. She is newer and has the midship elevator.

Kween Karen Posted July 31, 2009 #7 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I guess I like the Amsterdam (though I can't compare) since this next trip will be my 3rd on her (out of only 5 cruises!) I plan on increasing that number as fast as I can!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cferro514 Posted July 31, 2009 #8 Share Posted July 31, 2009 The Amsterdam is larger, and newer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
