Vista Suites on Konigsdam

[Cruzin with BQ & CQ]

Do these suites qualify for suite perks such as double sailing day credits and SBC under the current Ready, Set, Sail promotion afforded to suites? Thanks!

Yes they do (for the perks you mention).

 

These cabins are fairly small for "suites" IMO however. More like the normal balcony ones on HAL.

I agree but we like the aft balcony position on the ship, and this is the only way to get one on Konigsdam. The additional perk takes the sting out of the fare a little bit!

I like the aft view, too. But never again on K'dam. Ship does not ride well at the back. Shimmies in the slightest wind/sea conditions. If waves hit the ship from the back, they slap against the stern (under the ducktail?) and the bang and shudder can be terrible.

Agree with this description of the ride at the back! ;p

Thanks for that! It may alter our thinking as we are looking at a November cruise when the weather could be an issue. You have given me something to think about.

We experienced the same thing on our January Koningsdam cruise. Immediately changed our cabin for upcoming cruise in September on the Koningsdam. Love the ship but not the aft cabins.

We're back on the K for our winter cruise next year but midships, not aft.

This thread has been very helpful. Waying the pros and cons of Vista vs Verandah for a short hop in the Caribbean. Still working towards that "free" laundry.
