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 Notes:
[
The Vista Class J & K Staterooms found on MAIN DECK are
"Larger" inside cabins, being about 200 - 210 square feet in size, depending
upon if they're handicapped accessible and/or connecting with other cabins.
These Main Deck inside J's and K's are larger than the upper deck J's and
K's by as many as 60 square feet (depending upon which J's and K's you're
talking about). Many of the more experienced HAL cruisers tend to avoid
any upper deck J or K in the forward section of the ship, while they might
accept an upper deck stern J or K if there was no other alternative (i.e.,
if the obstructed outside cabins are taken). Those upper deck stern J's
and K's will not have a couch, but will have two chairs. Some say they
would never book anything bellow a J or a K on a Vista, and would not accept
an inside cabin running length-wise with the ship.
[
The only inside cabins larger than the J's on Main Deck (and, indeed,
the largest inside cabins in the fleet) are the "I" category cabins up
on Navigation Deck 8: "I 8037" (which is handicapped accessible), "I 8041",
"I 8045", and "I 8049. These four "I" category cabins are larger than the
Js bellow them on Rotterdam Deck 7, and larger even than the five I category
cabins amidships on Upper Verandah Deck 6. These Deck 8 "I" category cabins
are only slightly narrower than the SS category cabins across the hall,
and only a little shorter (not counting the SS's Verandah, of course).
"I 8049" is the queen of all of the inside cabins, being a luxurious 233
square feet, which means that it is larger than ANY non verandah ocean
view stateroom (which max out at 180 square feet). These Is are not quite
as square as the J's and Ks on Main deck, but they're just as wide and
a little deeper (i.e., more rectangular). Reports are that, "it feels larger
than even a V cabin on the Vistas, which might be due to configuration
but may also be a reality given that the smallest V's are 212 square feet,
and that includes the verandah!"
[
If you can get a J or a K on Main Deck you can't go wrong. These
are wonderful cabins in an excellent location and on the Vista ships, if
you can get a K on deck 6 astern or a J on deck 7 astern, you'll find that
they're small but acceptable (again, they won't have a couch but they will
have two chairs). If you can't get one of those, and if you can't get an
I on Deck 8, then go with an outside obstructed view cabin on Deck 4 (G
or H). These are nice cabins, and even though they're smaller than the
J's on Main Deck their configuration makes them feel comfortably sized.
Indeed, other than lacking a verandah they're the same size as the inside
portion of the V cabins on that deck (other than those facing astern).
[
Usually, the price differential between the inside Js and Ks and
the outside H's and G's is only a few dollars -- so, if you find yourself
stuck with only Ks in the forward section or even lower category cabins
running length-wise with the ship, Spend the extra few bucks and go to
an outside obstructed/partly obstructed view stateroom. You will hopefully
not be disappointed.
[
The standard Verandah/Balcony is 6 ft. deep by 9 ft. wide.
VA aft/stern Verandah/Balconys are deeper (how much depends on which deck,
and Vista class (Noordam, Oosterdam, Westerdam & Zuiderdam) versus
Signature class (Eurodam & Nieuw Amsterdam). VD are 7.5 ft. deep. VF
and VE on Vista Class ships, Noordam, Oosterdam, Westerdam and Zuiderdam,
Verandah deck are only 4.5 ft. deep.
[
These sizes are most likely the same on all 4 Vista Class
ships, Noordam, Oosterdam, Westerdam & Zuiderdam, though there may
be slight differences in the sizes.
[
As of this time I do not have information on the Verandah/Balcony
sizes of the SS category Staterooms.
[ |
SB Stateroom Sizes NOT INCLUDING Verandah/Balcony:
[
These sizes are most likely the same on all 4 Vista Class
ships, Noordam, Oosterdam, Westerdam & Zuiderdam, though there may
be slight differences in the sizes.
[
The stern Verandah/Balconys on the Noordam are different
from the other three Vistas. Deck 4 verandah/balconys are larger and more
exposed, and the Deck 5 ones are completely covered. The Oosterdam and
Westerdam are like this. The Noordam stern is evenly sloped, so that Deck
4 is not larger nor is Deck 5 covered any more than Deck 4, Deck
6, or Deck 7. Deck 8 has a lot of coverage on all four ships, but probably
a little more so on the Noordam.
[
These sizes are NOT INCLUDING the Verandah/Balconys,
just the Interior of the staterooms themselves.
[
Deck 8 SB 8140 & SB 8147 - 300 sq. ft. (Aft Wraparound)
