Atrium

Visited Los Angeles, Puerto Vallarta, Acapulco, Puntarenas in Costa Rica, Cartagena, Colombia, Aruba, Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas and Ft. Lauderdale.

The Sirens in the Atrium.

Cabin

The bedroom section of our cabin on HAL's Statendam. Holland America is our favorite line.

The living room section of our cabin. It is very comfortable with more than adequate drawers and closet space.

Lifeboat Drill

A very important part of cruising- the lifeboat drill. On Holland America ships they take attendance.

Library

Here is Irwin sitting in the ship's library.

Another view of the library on board.

Lido

Here, I am seated in the Lido Café.

Here I am seated at a table outside on Lido Deck. You will notice that the sliding roof is closed.

Sculptures

Here I am standing next to the dolphin sculpture at the pool on Lido Deck.

Statue of Juno in the Lido Café.

Statue of Mercury in the Lido Café.

Showroom

The Van Gogh Lounge-- the Statendam's showroom. There is a Murano glass mosaic of Van Gogh's "Starry Night."

Crow's Nest Lounge

Observation Lounge by day, bar, and disco by night.

Piano Bar

This is a photo of the Piano Bar.

Ocean Bar

This is our favorite location for pre-dinner cocktails and hot and cold hors d'oeuvres.

Explorers Lounge

This is our favorite room on the ship-- the Explorers Lounge. Here, our favorite social hostess, Denize Sobit, gives a lecture on etiquette. At night this lounge offers free espresso, capuchino, café mocha, etc. and a magnificent buffet of CHOCOLATE. All of this is accompanied by a string quartet.
