wally8 Posted September 7, 2009 #1 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Hi All, Just booked our first cruise with HAL to Aruba etc. and booked cabin 8099 because it looked like it had a much larger balcony. Has anyone been in this cabin? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colakid Posted September 7, 2009 #2 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Hi Wally8 ; I guess the best bet is to tell us what ship you have booked so we can help you. The numbers are not all common on each ship. FYI. HAL has 14 ships at this time with another in the shipyard. Welcome to CC and happy cruising. Colakid.

fann1sh Posted September 7, 2009 #3 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Welcome to the board, Wally8. I'm betting you're on Westerdam from the mention of Aruba. There have been discussions, pro and con, about this cabin. To get the larger balcony, you lose a few square feet of cabin space. However, the cabin is laid out differently than others. Here's one (older) thread about your cabin: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=425807 Hope you come back to this board soon and often!

wally8 Posted September 7, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Sorry about that, next time I will rtemember to be more specific and thanks for the comments. Any other suggestions for a really good SS cabin other than 8099? Wally8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted September 7, 2009 #6 Share Posted September 7, 2009 HMMMMMMMMMM -- Westerdam -- 8099 -- while the ship is moving -- you do get a lot of breeze. Not sure if I would want that -- JMO. It does have a larger verandah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candy Posted September 8, 2009 #8 Share Posted September 8, 2009 We book 8099 on Vista ships because the cabin is a little bigger and part of the veranda has a somewhat forward facing view. It's convenient to the aft elevators but not noisy. HTH Candy the ZuiderPrincess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
