Amsterdam: State Legislature
built 643 days ago
Sister ship to the Rotterdam, the Amsterdam features rich, dark woods and a collection of nautical art that creates a classic maritime ambiance. The photo shop, gift shops and Ocean Bar are centered around a three-story atrium, and there's a casino, showroom, movie theater, library and several lounges. The ship boasts the line's signature Lido Deck, with pools, bar, and casual Lido Restaurant serving breakfast and lunch buffets. For the best views, head to the Crow's Nest, an observation lounge high atop the ship. One of the most unique features is the Culinary Arts Center, a state-of-the-art show kitchen with plasma video screens and cooking display counters--a must-see for food and wine enthusiasts. The Amsterdam has an all-suite deck with accommodations ranging from 525 to more than 1,000 square feet; passengers on this deck have access to full concierge services and a private lounge.

Amsterdam is de grootste stad en (titulaire) hoofdstad van Nederland. Amsterdam is echter geen residentie, aangezien de Staten Generaal en de regering in Den Haag gevestigd zijn. Men spreekt in het Amsterdams ook wel van Mokum (afgeleid van het Hebreeuwse woord voor 'stad', "makom"). Het is één van de steden in de Randstad. De stad ligt in de provincie Noord-Holland, aan de monding van de Amstel en aan het IJ. De Amsterdamse haven is via het Noordzeekanaal verbonden met de Noordzee.

At this juncture, there is no point in advancing detailed plans unless the State Legislature reserves the space for the Historic New Amsterdam park. Like the creation of the city�s Central Park, the land would need to be set aside by the Legislature before content can be decided upon or a business plan created. Visually, the park may best be imagined, for now, as some variation of Mystic Seaport, Colonial Williamsburg or Plimoth Plantation. Accordingly, the development process won�t lend itself to the usual issuance of standard Requests-for-Proposals (RFP�s) by city or state development agencies.
