igar39 Posted January 4, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 4, 2019 On one of our HAL cruises the veranda was so small that the front legs of the chair I sat on were in the gutter. Which category verandah cabin should we avoid. On our last cruise in November the Future cruise consultant kept saying the cabins are so small. We have been in Lanai cabins which are small. So I think 'small' on Koningsdam would be ok. Just want a decent size verandah. Any recommendation and also any cabins to avoid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I like vacation Posted January 4, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 4, 2019 You can always poke around here and look at cabin pics. https://halfacts.com/pinnacle-class/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catl331 Posted January 4, 2019 #3 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Avoid the VQ on deck 10 and the VB on deck 11. The VB on deck 4 are about 10 ft deep, and most of the Vx on decks 5 through 8 are 6 ft by 9 ft. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabcruiser Posted January 5, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 5, 2019 We had VB4209 on Koningsdam recently which is aft starboard. Very deep -about 10 feet. Clear rail. Those far forward might have solid rails, but aft are clear. Found size of cabin to be adequate. Didn't notice significant difference from Vista class ships.

EMc&DrS Posted January 5, 2019 #5 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Just had VB 4164 on port side aft--loved the big balcony. It's a great location because the elevators are quick in the back--they never use those elevators on port days to get people to deck A. One flight down the stairs to the dining room or to Grand Dutch Cafe for morning coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ottahand7 Posted January 6, 2019 #6 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I was in 5113 and the balcony was angled and large. The downfall is if you don't like connecting rooms it connects with 5111 but even with the door cracked I didn't hear my friend's loud TV. Even larger is the neighboring cabin 5115. Look at the ship diagram and you will see that these are nice sized balconies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted January 7, 2019 #7 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I was contemplating going on this ship. There are some lovely huge verandahs on the 4th level as others have reported. The verandahs are quite nice. Just check the deck plans and you can see the difference. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasHikers Posted January 7, 2019 #8 Share Posted January 7, 2019 We will be sailing in March and will have Cabin 5113. Ottahand 7 did you notice any noise from the stairway/elevators? Also, any tips for us. This is our first time to sail on the K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare boards Posted January 7, 2019 #9 Share Posted January 7, 2019 We were in 4033 recently and the balcony is really nice and large. Only problem was it was windy a number of days and not enjoyable to sit out on the balcony. it was a transatlantic crossing cruise. The ocean was really quiet and we had a good ride.

HAL might want to correct the deck plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ottahand7 Posted January 7, 2019 #11 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Texas Hikers - no real noise from the hallway or elevators and it is really convenient to the elevators. There is a corner to walk around to get to the elevator doors. We were on the Iberian Adventure so the passengers may be different than on our cruise so people may be up later on your trip. We were really happy with our balconies, our rooms and our stewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingrob21 Posted January 7, 2019 #12 Share Posted January 7, 2019 4154 and 4156 are MASSIVE, double deep and double wide. We scored both between our family and my in laws. Made a great "racetrack" for the kids driving their strollers around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EbayCruiser Posted January 7, 2019 #13 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Yes, 4154 & 4156 are the largest and are usually the first to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guinnesshalfpint Posted January 7, 2019 #15 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Yes! We had one of these cabins, and after drinking a little too much Prosecco used the extra length to dance, and later to do aerobics and yoga. It is massive.
