Excellent video! Thank you for creating this! I am going on a cruise with this ship in less then two months so trying to get all the information I can before hand. May I ask how busy things were? How were the lines? Big waits for the dining room or the Lido restaurant? Thank you!!
Thanks so much. I was hoping to find a current ship tour. Even the deck plans on HAL’s website aren’t as current as this. There seemed to be a small number of lounge chairs around the lido pool. Mostly tables. Did they put more out during daytime?
No, the tables stayed out all day, which I found very odd - I've never seen this on another ship. Oddly, there never seemed to be an unmet demand for loungers though.
Great tour from bottom to top. Please note that at times, your background music was too loud. It often drowned out your voice. Great job with the videography
Hey Prof! I enjoy reading your blog and watching your videos, but I had to stop watching this one because I became woozy with motion sickness. I suggest you use a camera stabilizer/Steadycam for videos where you are walking around. Thanks, and happy cruising!!
Very comprehensive ship tour, really enjoyed it! Cruising on the Zuiderdam in early 2026 👍
It's a lovely ship. I just spent 7 days on it via the New England/Canada trip which was fantastic!
We are sailing October of 2025. What pools will be available? Thank you
What pools were open? Sailing October 2025. Thanks. How about excursions:)
@@earleproductions7769 All the pools were open during our early September trip. Only did 2 excursions. Peggy's Cove in Halifax was nice.

When was this Video done? Helps to know what changes may have come now.
I'm going on a cruise for Christmas and so excited for the family in December
There is also open dining.
we are sailing on this ship in October. Where were all the people in your video? Thanks for the tour, looks great.

LOL! Me too, feeling a bit pukey after watching this, but I'm very prone to motion sickness.
Where were all the people?
I always film my ship tours very early in the morning (5am), so as to protect the privacy of fellow passengers.
@@profcruise "Protect the privacy of fellow passengers"...in a public space? What a marvelous (if not ironic) sense of humor.
Was smoking allowed in the casino?
Not in the Zuiderdam!!! Only in the rear pool.
