Helalbu Posted October 16, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Hi We're off on a Holland America cruise soon, and have booked aft cabin 4179. Has anyone travelled in this cabin before? I'm wondering if the balcony / cabin is bigger than a standard verandah, and if the balcony is overlooked from above? Thank you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted October 16, 2011 #2 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Welcome to Cruise Critic. Have you checked Joanie's "Sticky" above to see if your cabin is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helalbu Posted October 16, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Hi. Thanks, I've just found that and had a look through which was really helpful. I still can't work out if our balcony will be overlooked. Thanks though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosegrower Posted October 16, 2011 #4 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Check out the post by Prairie_Gal about their recent Alaska cruise., go to the link and you will see that they had Zuiderdam aft 4178 and have some photos! Maybe that will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LADYLAYLA Posted October 16, 2011 #5 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Hi We're off on a Holland America cruise soon, and have booked aft cabin 4179. Has anyone travelled in this cabin before? I'm wondering if the balcony / cabin is bigger than a standard verandah, and if the balcony is overlooked from above? Thank you :) If you are asking if people above can see down on your balcony, the answer is yes. Since the UP level balconies jut out farther on the Z, those above can see you. If you want privacy and no one looking from above, get an Aft cabin on Deck 5, they are fully covered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helalbu Posted October 17, 2011 Author #6 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Thanks so much for the info. I think we'll stick with the one we've got, but at least we know what to expect! Can't wait now..... Thanks for everyone's help :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you :) We 4180 on the corner last July in Alaska - an awesome view but yes those above can look down on your balcony - well worth it though I would book again facing aft!

Helalbu Posted October 18, 2011 Author #8 Share Posted October 18, 2011 That sounds just exactly what we're thinking. Thanks for that! :) :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catl331 Posted October 18, 2011 #9 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Your balcony will be about 1/2 covered ... but it is very deep, so there will be plenty of privacy space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the great picture, it is really difficult finding pictures of the back of the ship. Half and half covered is perfect! Thanks so much for your help :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
