Here are photos of the external decks of the ms Rotterdam, the Holland America Line, including some sea views.
 

   


The Rotterdam VI's name plate, giving her build number and where she was built.
A traditional nautical touch ...

Looking toward the entrance to the Lido
 
Looking down on the aft pool from Club HAL.
 
 
 
As one goes down the decks one can view how the line has promoted itself ...
... including the art deco influences of the 1930s.
 
 
 
Art adorns the many corridors and stairs cases of the ship.
Including this adorable seal, on the Lower promenade deck midships starboard
The Rotterdam takes heavy seas quite well.
Even with high winds and heavy swells, the vessel is safe.
Passenger accommodation corridors.
That's right, there's no jogging on the Lower Promenade Deck.
 
 
The lower Promenade at night ...
... these were taken at midnight in Antarctica. Imagine ... it was still light.
Aft observation deck on Verandah Deck aft ... just below the aft pool.
 
The sky deck, sunbathing during the day and star gazing at night.
Aft on the sports deck one will find the Tennis courts.
And the ships twin funnels.
 
 
Another touch of tradition.
The Lido Deck midships pool, just forward the Lido Restaurant.
