Cranes Give Eurodam a Lift

Roland | May 7, 2008 at 11:55 am | In Views From the Yard, Photos, Latest News |

We have new exterior photos of Eurodam taken just yesterday by Blog Board member Chief Officer Andre van Schoonhoven. Coincidentally, the photos illustrate something Captain Jeroen van Donselaar described in his latest “Captain’s Log” post:

The ship is berthed portside alongside the fitting-out quay and there are three massive cranes almost constantly putting loads of materials on board and taking garbage off. Two of these cranes can reach the highest decks. An additional crane is positioned near the stern to service the temporary loading platforms that are attached to certain rear-facing balconies.


These are the two cranes that can reach the highest decks.


Here is the aft crane and the temporary loading platforms.

We hope these photos will satisfy avid reader Ben’s recent request for some new exterior shots of the ship.

Also, be on the lookout for an update of the header photo …

  1. Is it possible to get some updates of the Rembrandt Dining Room and other areas that are also basically “finished”? Any updates or photos you could try and get of the cabanas?

  2. Dear WASide:

    We’re working on it. We have requested everything you mentioned and a bunch more, but our on-site Blog Board members are just a little busy building a ship. We’re lucky — and grateful — when they take a moment to snap a photo or two and email them to us. And you know that as soon as we get them, we post them.

  5. The Eurodam is looking great!

    I am certain that you are getting many requests for photos and here is one more. Could you please get a photo of the new VT cabins on deck 11?

    My wife and I are booked in one on the August Copenhagen to New York cruise. Can’t wait….

  6. Hi everybody,
    Is there someone out there who remembers me? That very charming ( still am )Ida Labega, hostess from 1966/1974. It seems like a hundred years ago. Nevertheless I hope to see a few well known faces on the Prelude Cruise of the Grande Dame. She is a beauty. Love Ida
