Yes. It was $149 for the week. Well worth it! The spa is amazing, and the thalassotherapy pool has a very powerful jet waterfall to soothe your aching muscles. You turn in your key to the spa welcome desk in exchange for 2 keys: 1 for the electronic lockers and one to open the door to the spa. slippers and robe are provided. There is also a public hot sauna no one seems to know about, near the entrance to the private spa. I think it is $199 for 2 people but my wife was not interested. Her loss. I booked on the 1st day on board and it seemed liked there was plenty of availability even though we were a sold our sailing. Good luck! And Enjoy!! - Curtis

We were on Koningsdam in Early November for her one and only California Coastal Cruise. Loved the Pea Soup. I think they were between Cruise Directors as we were never made aware of whom that was. The Indian Food in the Buffet was excellent if you wanted to skip the wait for the Dining Room. The Thalassotherapy Pool was amazing! Feel free to ask me more - Curtis

Good to hear. We will be boarding Koningsdam in January for sa similar cruise. Had a great time on the Pacific Coastal in November. Sure some glitches, overbooked for dinners, etc but still a great time!!

Hank: We have been on several cruises as well and accept the changes. We got sort of stuck on this teeny weeny cabin since the cruise was almost sold out when we were able to confirm our availability. It will be an adventure, but we always always enjoy our cruises, accepting the fact that the golden age of cruising is long gone. -Curt.

Thanks Hank. OP here. I was thinking more along the lines of storing it with the front desk and utilizing it while necessary. Wife is partially disabled and uses the chair occasionally . Oceania did the same recently for some cruisers, but it was a much smaller ship (Regatta). I think we have it figured out.

We are travelling on Koningsdam Nov 5-12. Assuming that the Padres will not be playing game 6 and 7 of the World Series @ home, Nov 4 and 5, any suggestions for parking? (Padres post-season has seriously affected parking rates & availability apparently). More importantly, can we drop off luggage and our wives to attend to luggage while the boys find the parking and hike back to the port? Kind of a weird request, but that's the game plan.

OP here. Thanks for all the advice. We can manage. Our disability is rather new so practice makes perfect. The chair is quite advanced and will separate into parts. Under the bed makes the best sense so we will not trip over it. Again, she only uses it sparingly. I wholeheartedly agree that their should be no obstructions in the public aisleways! - Curt

My wife and I are on an upcoming Koningsdam California Coastal Cruise, but we have a very very tiny inside cabin (perhaps the 143 sf one!) She has limited mobility and we use a folding wheelchair about half of the time when needed. Looks like there really is nowhere to stow the wheelchair, the room is so small. Aisleways are inches wide! Will there be space outside the cabin? Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks!
