Good Video. Going on the Eurodam next year on an Alaska cruise. I cant wait. I have cruised on the Westerdam and the Zuiderdam so I am getting an idea of the different ships. Keep up the fun videos.

She really is a special ship!

Great tour! Haven't been on the Eurodam since pre-covid, so it was really nice to see some updates that have been done.

Excellent ship IMO. I like that there is a Tamarind Bar with views and then the restaurant. You can go to the bar before or after the restaurant or just go to the bar and have views. Crows Nest observation lounge, a staple on HAL, combines card and other games plus has a bar, seats with ocean views, dance floor, great area. Wish you spent a bit more time there showing the different sections of it. Also, I think the deck area in the aft is excellent because there isn't a lot there and you actually enjoy just the deck and the sea. It's an old-school way of doing things (pre verandas this and the promenade decks were used for ocean viewing outside) but it works for some cruisers, especially those that have cruised decades ago. I like the small touches of the tiles and the theming on the ship owing to the Dutch tradition somewhat. Lots of nautical theme and lots of nice artwork everywhere. Ocean Bar looks like the Ocean Bar on HAL ships and it's a cozy and warm lounge space. That's my favorite parts of ships. I know a lot of people love restaurants but I love lounges. Has a nice wood floor area that can be used as a dance floor (another thing I find important on ships that seem to be going away unfortunately) 15:29. Why I don't know. People love to dance and always have and always will IMO. Ships need to devote more spaces to dancing, not just eating and drinking IMO. You mention the Ascent as cutting edge? Why? It's missing so much compared to this ship IMO. So many cozy lounge areas and this ship feels intimate and like a ship vs. a resort hotel. Look at the library on this ship. Excellent. I think looking at this ship is bolsters for me all of the social areas for mingling and music that I love on a ship. The dueling piano bars have real pianos as opposed to the digital ones with piano shells that some HAL ships have. I do wonder with it being besides the casino if you don't hear the dings from the casino slot machines. The atrium is cozy rather than expansive and I like that. I feel you sort of rushed through this tour as opposed to the more slower pace of some other tours. But I thank you for your tours. There's a lot of art work and details the ship has that are wonderful. I guess this isn't your ship if you want something less traditional and a more interesting or lively pool area and deck space. If you prioritize more specialty restaurants, this isn't your ship either. Not that there isn't good food, however. But if you want to socialize and dance, or be in a place that offers dancing and dance floors, and have so many dedicated varied spaces for that, this is quite nice. I feel like the Pinnacle class improves on BB King and some other spaces and that's what a new class should do. But I feel like all the important elements from the Statendam class ships are still here in this class of ship.

It was another one of those invitations whereby we could only spend a few hours onboard. We'll go back one day and give it a slower, more in-depth tour. Sorry for it feeling rushed, Benjamin. 😟 It definitely deserves a closer look. More than that, it deserves to be high on anyone's list of what ship to try next. Cutting-edge doesn't always mean progress. We still think the Edge Series of ships from Celebrity are cutting-edge, but we are - and will always be - traditionalist cruisers at heart. We agree with a lot of what you're saying. On the other hand, we really do enjoy the Edge Series. The good news is, we cruise A LOT and don't have to choose one or the other. 😉 We don't envy those who do. There is so much brought to the table by all lines that is extraordinary. How could one ever choose!?

Quick question: didn’t Holland update this ship several Years ago ?

Did they fix the sewage smell 😳 middles section 3rd floor?

I'm attempting to get a total price on a Holland Eurodam double occupancy Alaska cruise From Seattle on Sept 7 2024. On the Holland website are the listed prices per person? Are the taxes included? Thanks.

I recently booked for September cruise to Alaska on HAL prices are per room for 2 people . If you adding additional people to the room it will be more.. Prices vary depending on room type ie inside vs balcony vs suite. Taxes port fees were a separate line item at the bottom of the invoice which you can see before committing to the trip with your deposit. Good luck!
