Comments on: Housekeeping Department’s Newbuild Setup http://www.eurodamnews.com/2008/05/30/housekeeping-departments-newbuild-setup/ The latest news, information and images about Holland America Line's next new ship Fri, 21 Nov 2008 23:05:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Roland http://www.eurodamnews.com/2008/05/30/housekeeping-departments-newbuild-setup/#comment-3983 Roland Mon, 02 Jun 2008 18:24:19 +0000 http://www.eurodamnews.com/2008/05/30/housekeeping-departments-newbuild-setup/#comment-3983 Ben: Hotel Manager Stan Kuppens offered the following regarding cabin construction: Fincantieri is now also using a new system of installing cabins. Instead of placing the bathroom units and cabin walls on board and constructing them on board, they now construct the complete cabins already in the yard (these are the standard cabins that do not deviate in size or form). The entire cabin is already complete … the bathroom, furniture and everything is already installed in these units. On board (the ship is basically only the steel body), these units are placed, properly aligned, welded to the assigned location and connected. Ben:

The other 35% are constructed my question is this a common practice with Fincantiere or is this specified by HAL. I remember reading that a/b the Rotterdam all cabins where constructed a/b the ship.
