Noordam observation deck verandah staterooms

[Whitey76]

Hi all,

 

We are looking at booking a Alaskan cruise from Vancouver next July, we are thinking of booking a verandah stateroom on the observation deck on the Ms Noordam. These are the new ones. Does anyone have any photos, advice, size noise etc... On these new cabins ? There diesnt seem to be a lot of info or reviews on these staterooms. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks

There must be someone that has stayed in one !!

Would love some information !!

Hello to you all, I would be very interested in having pictures of the new stateroom and also balconies on deck 10 of the Noordam. I book a stateroom at the deck 10 for February 2014, and I am proud of me in deckplan of Holland America Line. I have been told that if deckplan was wrong, so I'd love to hear your comments and photos of her new stateroom.

thank you

Claude

Check this post out! I was in one of those staterooms last year. The stateroom looked bigger to me, but the balcony is pretty small. I loved the location just below the Crow's nest!

I was in one of these rooms last Dec. It was small, cramped, hot, and not worth the money paid. I would take an interior room over one of these, any day.

 

The rooms get a lot of reflected heat and the AC unit can't keep up with that, the heat on the "roof", and the heat from the refrigerator. I have never been so uncomfortable in a room. The Front Desk felt tat 80+ degrees was "within acceptable limits" and only after 5 days [of a 10 day cruise] did they send in a technician to alter the AC unit--and it still remained pretty warm if the sun was beating down on the verandah & roof.

 

Also, because these are add-on units, they are scavenging from existing plumbing. We had to have the toilet serviced twice--and we'd never had plumbing issues on a HAL cruise before.

 

They couldn't give me one of these rooms for free.
