510picker Posted November 10, 2010 #1 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Got an e-mail today offering an upsell from our inside cabin to a verandah cabin for $99/person for our 10 day Noordam cruise leaving this Saturday. Got a little excited, but then reality hit me because I require a wheelchair accessible room. I figured the chances of an accessible verandah room still being available were slim to none, but sure enough there was one left. We upgraded from I-8037 to VA-8032 for $99/person. Thank you Holland America!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Holland America!! Congrats on your upgrade. Be warned though - once you sail with a veranda, you will never want to go back! I'm convinced that's why HAL does it. I only know it worked with us. One upgrade to a veranda is all it took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceanwench Posted November 10, 2010 #5 Share Posted November 10, 2010 How great is that!!! We require a HC cabin also, and last year we were able to get an upsell to a HC suite. We counted ourselves as blessed ... because we know how hard it is to find HC cabins available -- even a year in advance! Have a great time! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

510picker Posted November 10, 2010 Author #8 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Congrats on your upgrade. Be warned though - once you sail with a veranda, you will never want to go back! I'm convinced that's why HAL does it. I only know it worked with us. One upgrade to a veranda is all it took. This will be our 4th HAL cruise and our second with a verandah. I was 50/50 on taking the offer because the true accessibilty of last verandah (Westerdam) wasn't the greatest. The high threshold made it difficult to get the wheelchair onto the verandah. I hope this one is better, but if not just having the sun light and hearing the sounds made it worthwhile to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZNative2000 Posted November 10, 2010 #9 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Congrats! Not only a veranda but one with the angled balcony. A bit larger room and a bit larger balcony than the average. Enjoy!:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, would that be to the Penthouse? I know you always book the SA cat right? I know I'm nosy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a great deal! When my brother wanted to change from an outside cabin to a Verandah, for a 15 day Panama Canal cruise, the cost was $800/person. Have a great cruise and lots of sunshine from your verandah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
