"Spa", "Sun", "Swim" are the S- words that sum
up all that
Amsterdam's
Lido Deck has to offer. With two swimming pools, an
extensive Gym and Spa, bars and a large casual restaurant,
you may never want to leave this deck on a relaxing day at
sea. Start your day in the Ocean Spa for a spin in the Gym
or perhaps a relaxing massage with an ocean view. |

Amidships
is the spacious and bright Lido Deck that can be covered by
an enormous sliding glass roof, an essential feature in
the chilly waters of Scandinavia or Alaska. The
Amsterdam's design team (Dutch VFD Design) should be
commended for making the Lido an utterly delightful place
to spend many hours, come rain or shine. |
|
|
|
|
So, what is there to do at the
Lido except seeing the sliding roof open ... and close? Well, there is the casual
Terrace Grill section, offering burgers and fries at lunchtime. Ample padded
lounge chairs are set up around the average sized swimming pool, wading pool and
twin whirlpools. Then there is the giant chess set, but best is the fabulous
Pool Bar, designed like a beachfront café with umbrellas and rattan chairs
overlooking the main pool. |
|
|
|
|
From the
Lido Pool, sets of automatic doors lead to the impressive
Lido Restaurant. Featuring very original chairs and
tables, this casual eatery open for breakfast, lunch and
dinner and offers panoramic sea views through walls of
glass. The self-service counters are all neatly grouped
together in the center line of the room, with drink
stations dotted around for thirsty souls. |
|
|
|
|
The atmosphere of the Lido
Restaurant is just right, cleverly avoiding the canteen feeling that is so
apparent on many large cruise ships. There is even an alfresco dining area all
the way aft on the open deck. Here, you'll find Amsterdam's other swimming pool,
lots of lounge chairs and a cozy Pool Bar. And a sea breeze! |
