And One More Koningsdam question

[knippsel]

There are so many connecting cabins on the Koningsdam! How are they different from a non-connecting cabin? What do you lose, if anything? How is the noise buffering from the neighboring cabin? That's all that's left in the deck/area we'd like on a cruise we're interested in. If anyone has experience to share it would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Kathy

We had connecting cabins on the K-dam last month. The doors were right next to the TV across from the area between the bed and the sofa. Not sure what would be there in a cabin without a connecting door. Probably just wall, if there was a cabinet or something there it would block the walkway. We had the connecting doors open most of the time, but closed at night. Didn't notice any extra noise do to having the connecting door. Heard a lot more noise from the cabin on the other side of use without the connecting door.

We were in balcony cabin 4199 for the 30 September cruise - and were unfortunate to have a Brit woman next door with the interconnecting door who had a piercing voice whose frequent telephone conversations were almost completely audible! HAL could not move us to another cabin so we had a large fan to block nouse (and 2 bottles wine). I will steer clear of interconnecting doors in future.

We try to stay away from connecting cabins but got one when we upgraded to a veranda guarantee on the Kdam in January. Could hear lady coughing every now and then but mostly it was fine. Years ago we had a family next to us and could hear kids bouncing balls and the dad was very loud. That was when we tried to avoid them!

We recently were in cabin 6128 Mozart deck . It was a connecting room but we never heard any conversation or noise from the occupants on the other side, perhaps we were just lucky to have quiet neighbors.

We loved our cabin and the huge angled balcony.

We have not been on the Konningsdam yet so cannot say from experience but our PCC, told me to avoid the connecting staterooms because you lose a lot of closet space.

We had way more closet and storage space than we needed for our 10 day cruise. Two full sized closets with hanging space and shelving, plus a third with a safe and mini fridge on top and three good sized drawers on the bottom.

 

Life jackets were stored in that awkardly placed wall cabinet above the couch freeing up additional closet space.

 

In our cabin the connecting door was between the desk, (next to the balcony door) and the tv on the wall facing the bed. I would guess most verandahs have the same arrangement. Perhaps the PCC was referring to cabins with different floor plans ?
