Gives you and idea of the size of a medium cruise ship. Twelve deck, 1,270 passengers, 600 crew, 55,000 tons, with a maiden voyage in 1993.

Hello Jim. Great pictures. Thanks for sharing them. Picture three makes the ship seem so small and lonely. So we see a picture of your wife but where are you? Ken.

Hi Ken,

I appreciate your compliment. Just thought I would put up a sampling & not overdo things as we have approx 500 pics. I can upload a few more to hold site photobucket & copy here. My wife mostly took the pics while I filmed with the hi-def video camera. There are some pics of me, thank you. I don't like my pic taken much, prefer to be behind the camera lens rather than in front, as I love photography. I have about 100 pics on my Facebook page.

Cheers.

Jim

Ken, per a few of your questions.

Me on the right with Carolyn at one of two formal dress nights at the
Rotterdam two level restaurant.

Ken, perhaps these two shots make the ship look larger.

Our stateroom is the last porthole on the first row above the pier. You can tell from the stern lines that we didn't require a wake up call when arriving early in morning in port as all the noisy winching machines were right behind our room. Also could hear a low level rhythmic hum of the engines at cruising speed. Noisier when running slow in some areas or coming in to port. The Rotterdam Restaurant is where the ladder in center covers the two decks.

Stateroom 833 on starboard side near stern, lowest passenger deck 4, A Deck.

Crows Nest Lounge, panoramic room above the bridge, big dance floor for disco at night. Sometimes live band. View is to bow.

Hope this helps gives a better concept of the Statendam.
