Wow! I have been reading this thread, trying to find more intel on 8188 on the Statendam and I am incredibly impressed with the work that's been done for all of these cruise cabins! Especially when there's not a lot of information or photos on quite a few of the unique cabins on the statendam.
Thank you for all you have done and the time it has taken to compile all of this data! I hope it has been added to Halfacts, but so far, I have to say that Google hasn't been able to find it on there, thus, I found it here.
Now I'm only in-between VS8097 and it's large, I believe, fully covered balcony, VS8188 and SQ10005 with the upcharge to Suite status. The only thing I don't like about SQ10005 is just how small that balcony is in comparison to the others (riding the waves of the bow won't be issue yet small balcony might not be fun on a 14 day cruise). Anyhoo, that's moot and meant for another thread. HAHA
Thank you!!
