Westerdam?

Friends tell me they are going on the Westerdam next Fall, and it's a "new"
ship! We took a cruise on the Westerdam years ago. What's up, mates?

From HAL's website:

===

ms Westerdam. magnificent Vista Class

The Vista-Class ms Westerdam joins the Holland America Line fleet in spring
2004. On board, guests will enjoy a space-per-person ratio unsurpassed by
any other ship in a fleet already known for spacious comfort. In addition,
Westerdam has more of what guests desi More staterooms with private
verandahs. More dining choices including the reservations-only Pinnacle
Grill experience, and the Lido Restaurant, a culinary courtyard. More ways
to relax in The Greenhouse Spa and Salon.

I might be wrong (imagine that lol) But if you cruised on a Westerdam years
ago, then it's possible that HAL has named a new ship an old name?

HAL re-uses its ship names. I think this will be the third
Westerdam. Some of the HAL historians will correct me if I'm
wrong.

That's what I thought because sometimes I see the Rotterdam listed as
Rotterdam IV.

I like all the dam ships though giggles

There's a new Westerdam coming out soon. Maybe it's already out. Anyhow, new
ship, old name. We were on the old one twice; Alaska in 1990 and through
entire Panama Canal in 1991.

I think this will be the third
Westerdam.

The last Westie was the old Homeric II (Home Lines), which was cut and
reprofiled. This is the ship "Out To Sea" was shot on.

First of all, Clint ain't your mate, he is a troll, a troll who has nothing
more to offer than Cruising Chrissy.

He craves attention which is why he uses words in his posts like "coloureds"
and "puffers" hoping that he can get anyone to answer him and make him feel
important.

Arlene,

Correct me if I am wrong. I seem to recall being on a cruise with a group
of friends when Danni didn't join in, and I remember being docked behind
Westerdam, the old one, and watching them offload luggage from the top deck.

My imagination, or the way it was?

Ray, what happens to the Westerdam that is doing Mediterranean cruises right
now?
