PRIDE OF ROTTERDAM was introduced in 2001, since then I have sailed on her many times, she was together with her sister PRIDE OF HULL the largest cruise ferries in the World back then, they have lost the status but they still up there. It's always an immense pleasure to sail on them, yesterday was no exception, one of the fantastic things about cruising on these ships, is the possibility to board at about 4.30 pm, four hours before the ship's departure, plenty of time to explore the ship, make some photos, many in my case, have a drink and even dinner, all very civilized and relaxed, especially during winter months and mid week sailings. PRIDE OF ROTTERDAM is registered in Rotterdam, she is manned by Dutch officers and Philippines crew, a very happy ship, she is due for another refit soon, for this "post", I have chosen photos of my Premier Two berth outside cabin and the two restaurants on board, the A LA CARTE BRASSERIE and the Self-Service, today called "THE KITCHEN". The ships provide a very enjoyable first time cruise experience, it was good to see some passengers very excited about the possibility of sharing a meal at the BRASSERIE and making plans for the excursions ashore, ROTTERDAM and AMSTERDAM.
