Left: Zuiderdam Open-Air Pool / Right: Zuiderdam Pool with Retractable Dome
The Zuiderdam has two beautiful pools, one open-air, one with a retractable dome. I was really ecstatic to hear about the domed facility. Open-air pools on cruise ships have a tendency to be rather cold as the winds suck the sun's warmth out of them.
This freeperette loves pools, but does NOT like cold water, which is why I live in Florida, heheh. The domed pools are much more protected and they are just the right temperature.
Holland America cruises don't have many crumb-crunchers aboard. Adults rule the pools. I can envision our group around the pool on our "at sea" days, lolling on the lounges, getting gorgeous tans, talking freeptalk and jumping into the refreshing water as the spirit moves.
Not to mention the wandering deck stewards dispensing free ice-cold lemonade and iced tea....or you may prefer an icy, spicy Bloody Mary with a lemon wedge and a leafy stalk of crispy celery for stirring.
Sign on for this fantastic voyage now. Get into the swim!
LAST ONE INTO THE POOL IS A LIBERAL, neeny, neeny!
