A Slice of Heaven

Slice is the popular pizzeria aboard Eurodam where guests can get a fresh-out-of-the-oven piece of pizza.

Pizza Maker Leonilo Granada whips up the tasty pies from scratch and bakes them in a pizza oven.

Slice is located by the Lido pool, making it easy to grab a quick slice of pizza while relaxing on deck.

Sea Days Make Great Spa Days!

On sea days aboard Eurodam many guests take advantage of the Fitness Center and Greenhouse Spa. The spa offers a huge menu of treatments from facials to massages, and the fitness center has special classes like yoga and pilates.

The relaxation area is the perfect place to wait for your treatment and gaze at the tranquil sea.

What’s Cooking in the Culinary Arts Center?

On his recent trip aboard Eurodam, Andy Newman took some photos of HAL’s Master Chef Rudi Sodamin cooking up some treats with guests in the Culinary Arts Center. The state-of-the-art center and its show kitchen enable Sodamin, visiting celebrity chefs and the ship’s own galley team to conduct cooking demonstrations, tastings and seminars.

Guests can sit back and relax while watching the demonstration. Television monitors located around the room make it easy to see what’s happening from all angles.

On a recent sea day, Pam attended the cooking demonstration conducted by Pinnacle Grill Chef Ani Limaye, who showed Events Manager Melissa and guests how to make eggs stuffed with herbs, mustard and caviar.

Mastering Your Digital Camera 101

The new complimentary classes in the Digital Workshop powered by Microsoft Windows have been overwhelmingly popular. Techspert Tricia has had a full house every session! Take note, future cruisers: if you plan on attending any of the classes, get there early.

Retreat Area Proves to be Popular

Eurodam’s maiden voyage is well underway, and it’s nice to see guests using the facilities we’ve watched develop over the past year. Pam snapped this photo of the Retreat (she didn’t want to get too close out of respect for privacy), and word is that the area is very popular.

Play it Again, Sam

Pam sent us these photos of the Piano Bar last week, but with all of the inaugural activities we saved them for today.

A Look at the Lido Dining Area

We haven’t shown this venue in a while, so take a last look at the Lido Restaurant without guests. This buffet eatery is extremely popular for breakfast, lunch and a casual dinner.

Around the Ship

Enjoy some final views from around the ship before the first guests come on board.

The reception staff go over some final preparations before guests embark.

Guests will be able to bid on and purchase various pieces of art during the cruise. The art gallery is run by Park West Gallery.

This is a nice overhead view of the Atrium Bar counter-top.

A Test-Run in the Explorations Cafe

The staff of the Explorations Cafe serve the crew some tasty concoctions as a test-run before guests embark.

What a view! The chairs in Explorations Cafe look very comfortable for relaxing and gazing at the sea.
