Deck 10 Layout [

----

We are in an "S" class cabin, across from the Neptune Lounge. This certainly would be easy to get used to! We have only our upgrade to a suite on Eurodam for comparison, but the suites are a bit different on the "S" class:

- There seems to be about the same amount of space, but it is organized a bit differently. There are more closets and drawers on Ryndam, but the bathroom is smaller, with only a tub and not a separate shower, and only a single sink vanity instead of double.

Stateroom power plugs. I only was able to find three of these: One is at the end of the long dresser, near the head of the bed and the second is at the dressing table. Both are dual 110v/220v plugs. The third plug is at the left end of the light fixture over the vanity in the bathroom, also dual voltage.

- The balcony seems just as wide, but a bit deeper. Also, there is no plexiglass railing, only a low steel one. And, I had brought a squeegee to clean off the spray -- oh well, I'll save it for another cruise. Photos February 2011

S 033  Deluxe Verandah Suite Stateroom   Deck 10 Navigation Deck
[
--
[

[
Deluxe Verandah Suite S 033 was a great cabin, nice location midship, overall very similar to S 018 from a previous trip, but everything was opposite.  It was nice and close to the Neptune lounge which was very handy. The only problem/complaint with the suite was with the issues we had with the pull-out bed.  The beds are designed with wooden slats that go across and for some reason they kept falling out or breaking.  We had 4 to the cabin, jsut as we did in S 018 and no problems with that bed.  Unfortunately this time we had to call and have someone come fix it three times and it made for a couple very poor nights sleep.  The crew handled it well and did their best to try and fix it.  I would assume this issue will be addressed on the next refit.  Aside from that I would highly reccommend S 033!!

The location of Ryndam S 043 was towards the rear of the suites.  Consequently, the jutout from the deck above blocked some of the sunshine and views.  S 045 would have had more of the overhang. Other than that, it was fabulous!
