Sjoerd was a team member in the Guest Services department on both the Eurodam and the Noordam and worked with Holland America Line as part of a hotel management course he was studying back home in Holland. Since completing that course, Sjoerd is now back at college studying another class and hopes to be back on cruise ships again soon!
