Yes, balconies are larger (with sunbed) on Zaandam. Cabins and bathroom is also larger. As I agree most of what Marion, RuthC and Myrtle wrote, I do not repeat their comments. I sailed Zaandam to Antarctica, Eurodam (sistership to Nieuw Amsterdam) to Greenland. Both in balcony-cabin. Though I liked the Greenland-cruise best, I, without doubt, recommend the ship Zaandam. It is a very long story to explain why (has little to do with cabin-size), so I prefer to stop now.

Alberta, I am surprised. Your rates are very opposite to European. Thanks to you, HAL has something to explain. It stands between their excurisions and independent. WKR Ralf.

The possibility of change I do not know. If I had know what I know now, after your information here on forum, I probably had choosen another cabin. But now I will stay with my choice. For my next cruise I will take use of this forum. Before order. Thanks.

DaveOKS, you made me a bit dissapointed. Cabin 7082 is aft and below pool area. Worst possible. And it seems that I can not expect something hidden extra. I learn as long as I live. Can only hope for a cruise with no wind an waves. In that case I´m up to zero again.

Thanks for answers.

My case is this:

1. Booked a cruise from Valparaiso 31:st januari. Outside categori EE.

2. Were now offered upgrade to Vista, any Vista, for a fixed price.

3. The different (A,AA,B and BB) Vista have current list-price between 60" and 63" sek. But BC is listed 78" sek.

4. Clever as I am, I choosed the expensive Vista. Golden shower-hose?

5. Or is it HAL pulling my legs with pricelist made for someone like me?

I (and my swedish travel-agent) can not understand why Vista-suites, category BC are much (23-30%) more expensive than the other Vista.

For me, they all looks the same. Perhaps I would expect BC to be among the cheapest, as they are located near aft. Anyone who knows?

(To mail HAL, is like sending to a black hole.)
