Itis pretty spectacular. We were there in 2019 with my father who had childhood polio. he uses a rollater, and he made it to Paradise Point. L.

DH and I were on the Koningsdam in March, and we recevied our 2 star pins while on board! Hubby proudly wore it on his lapel to dinner that night. L.

Smooth sailings to all of you! Wish I could be on board! L.

Pulling away from the pier. L.

Rotterdam toots! L.

Yes, it is! We are booked on the same ship and itinerary, leaving on February 4, 2023. You'll get to see me wave then.

DH, my dad and I were supposed to be leaving on the Rotterdam today, but had to cancel for health reasons related to my dad. Should have left him home and gone anyway, as this is what it looks like outside at my house today! L.

Here's the room 6149, a verandah on the Rotterdam. There are hooks on the wall. L. https://halfacts.com/pinnacle-class/6149-rotterdam/

Where will you be waving from? Maybe we can get a pic!

Happy to help! I tale tons of photos, and I often feel that it is easier to post a photo (or video, for that matter) than try to explain things. It really is tre, a photo is worth a thousand words! L.

Bon voyage and smooth sailings everyone! L.

Toots!! L.

The sun is at a bad angle for viewing, but here is the outline of her! L.

DH and I were on the Koningsdam (sister ship to Rotterdam) in 2019 on Beethoven deck, room 4191. We were also travelling with my brother and SIL on one side, and my father (solo) on the other side, so they opened the balcony dividers for us. THERE WAS SO MUCH ROOM on the balcony! We could easily fit all 5 of us on one balcony. Regarding being exposed to those above, if you are sitting close to the railing, of course you will be exposed to above, but if you are closer to the door, you won't be. Regarding a lounger, instead there will be two chairs with footstools. Im attaching a photo of my SIL and DH sitting on the balcony so you can see how much room there is. We never heard noise from the MDR....probably because deck 3 is fixed dining, so not near as many people as on deck 2 for anytime dining. I took a video of our room if you'd like to see just how big the verandahs are:

I had a look at Himself's thread...he said he would be in room 6094...just realized that's on the opposite side of the ship/ Oh well! L.

The camera focussed on the people with the French flag for quote a while...pretty much the best I could get. L.

Did Father say where he would be? A wave, perhaps? L.

There she is. L.

Checking in....just in time! L.

Ah yes....a Wang Wang. Yum! 1/4 oz Vodka, 1/4 oz Gin, 1/4 oz White Rum, 1/4 oz Scotch, 1/4 oz Bourbon, 1/4 oz Tequila, 1/4 Triple Sec, 1/4 oz Brandy.Top it off with Pineapple and Orange Juice and a splash of Grenadine. Whoo hoo! The photo is my Wang Wang, and my husband's margarita. L.

Looks like just two people up on the seaview deck... L.

Looks like the weather is horrible again.... L.

Missed the Rotterdam, but am here for the Eurodam! L.
