On Eurodam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Noordam, Westerdam, Oosterdam, Prinsendam, Zuiderdam: Every single Stateroom has a cooler (HAL does not like to use the word refrigerator as they don't get as cool as some medicines that require "refrigeration" need... but they will get beverages cold...)
[
On the rest of the HAL fleet (and note the above says NIEUW AMSTERDAM... NOT Amsterdam ) If it has a verandah, it has a cooler!
[
[
IRL_Joanie's Note: The standard Verandah/Balcony is 6 feet deep by 9 feet wide. VA aft/stern Verandah/Balcony are deeper (how much depends on which deck, and Vista class versus Signature class). VD are 7.5 feet deep. VF and VE on Vista Class ships, Noordam, Oosterdam, Westerdam and Zuiderdam, Verandah deck are only 4.5 feet deep. As of this time I do not have much information on the Verandah/Balcony sizes of the PS, SA, SB, SC or SY categories Staterooms.

Pros:
1) I loved being near the Explorations Cafe for both my caffeine fix and internet usage.
2) Super convenient if you have a Retreat Cabana. I did and loved it.
3) Slight "L" shape entry provides privacy to the room. Nice when you open the door and you don't see right in.
[
Cons:
1) Being so near Explorations Cafe. Not that you could here the happenings in there, or the Crow's Nest for that matter, just noise from people coming and going. In the beginning of the week, this was not bad, but as the cruise progressed and more people found their way up there it became more noisy. I'm not sure some folks realized that there were cabins there.

2) Elevator "ding". I'm a light sleeper and this got annoying. Photos March 2011
