3ssn Posted September 15, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 15, 2014 On the decks 10 & 11 of the new Koningsdam, there are what looks like Verandah staterooms, but the separators between the staterooms are not shown on the pictures. Looks like some kind of Lanai-staterooms (with a shared balcony) on the top decks? Or maybe French balconies (sliding doors but no actual balcony)?

Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted September 15, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 15, 2014 They could be anything. That set of decks looks like an afterthought, just plopped down on top of a fairly normal-looking ship. Before I saw the large photo, I thought they were balcony cabins and I wondered if they were going to be a separate enclave, like NCL's Haven. I suppose the dividers could simply be missing in this rendering. Or maybe it isn't cabins at all. Specialty restaurants? Come to think of it, with all those balconies, where would the restaurants be? If they're on the promenade deck, there won't be any fighting for a window table, not with the lifeboats where they are.

InTheWASide Posted September 15, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I noticed those too OP. I know on Eurodam they originally planned on floor to ceiling ocean view rooms without balcony. Category VT was originally T in the oldest deck plan for Eurodam. Maybe it's something like that? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PathfinderEss Posted September 15, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I'm thinking they could be balconies, as you can see the plexiglass but they look awful small and I see no dividers. Guess we'll have to wait and see the plans for these cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Bear Posted September 16, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 16, 2014 That set of decks looks like an afterthought, just plopped down on top of a fairly normal-looking ship. Not as bad as the Norwegian Epic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted September 16, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Not as bad as the Norwegian Epic! Thank you for posting that. I could not remember the ship with the strange extra decks, but I thought it was NCL. The first time I saw a picture of the Epic, I thought somebody had photoshopped a building onto a ship as a joke. Koningsdam doesn't look as bad, but I think those extra decks look odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted September 16, 2014 #9 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The top decks above the Bridge remind me of what was added to Carnival Destiny when she became Carnival Sunshine. On Sunshine, they are veranda cabins, but spa veranda cabins. We need deck plans! Everything else is just sheer speculation, including all of the discussion about a Promenade Deck or the lack thereof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted September 18, 2014 #13 Share Posted September 18, 2014 That would be one of the smartest things HAL could do. I agree. As I new solo traveler, I am not liking 200% for the Neptune Suite I've always sailed in. :( After more than 80 HAL cruises, it's hard to try a different cabin at this point but a solo cabin with a verandah I might try.

InTheWASide Posted September 18, 2014 #15 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Have there been any rumors of solo cabins? Unless there's been a major change there was no plan to add single rooms.

Cruiser Bruiser Posted September 19, 2014 #16 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Unless there's been a major change there was no plan to add single rooms. There's been talk about rooms holding more than 4 but the details I've heard haven't really made much sense I seem to have much more vacation time than most of my friends, and I'm booked on my first solo cruise in December. I'm sure it won't be the last, so I'd like more lines to adopt solo cabins. It's too bad for me that HAL isn't building any on Koningsdam. I guess I'll just have to set my sights on Queen Elizabeth or the Quantum-class trio. (Aside from Norwegian, of course.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted September 19, 2014 #19 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Has anyone heard where this ship will travel? I read one report here that indicated that she will remain in Europe year round. Maybe someone has more updated information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZNative2000 Posted September 19, 2014 #20 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) I'm thinking they could be balconies, as you can see the plexiglass but they look awful small and I see no dividers. Guess we'll have to wait and see the plans for these cabins. Perhaps these decks aren't cabins at all. Perhaps they hold an enlarged Spa or fitness center. Looks like it's at the front of the pool deck. The articles I've seen speak of a more contemporary ship. So, if HAL seeks a younger crowd, the decks could be a nightclub and (like so many other lines) a grouping of extra-cost restaurants ala the Celebrity S Class ships where several restaurants share one big lobby. As KK said, we'll have to wait for real deck plans. Cheers! Edited September 19, 2014 by AZNative2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TiogaCruiser Posted September 20, 2014 #22 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) Or perhaps a "true" pinnacle Grill at the top (pinaccle) if the ship. Edited September 20, 2014 by TiogaCruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PathfinderEss Posted September 20, 2014 #23 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Well they are adding around 500 more passengers, so they have to be adding some 250 cabins somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
