Ours a couple of weeks ago was on left side. We were on starboard side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Crazy For Cats Posted August 27, 2021 #4 Share Posted August 27, 2021 We were in 8169 which is a corner aft cabin. As you walked into the room the bed was to the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted August 27, 2021 #5 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Take a look at the deck plan if the door is showing being toward the left then the bed will be on the right, if the door is on the right, then the bed will be on the left. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartgrove Posted August 27, 2021 #6 Share Posted August 27, 2021 The staterooms mirror image each other for ease of plumbing. If you look at the deckplan, the position of the door opening will help with which direction the bed faces. In Neptune and Signature Suites the couch will face the opposite direction of the bed. In Verandah Staterooms, the couch will face the same direction. We try to choose a stateroom based on the direction the couch faces which is nice for relaxing on sea days. Do you have a question regarding a particular stateroom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if its worth it to move to the neptune lounge? Its our first time on HAL and I don't know how intrusive the elevators are? Any idea?

twodjs Posted August 28, 2021 #10 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Considering really only Neptune Suite guests would access the 6 elevators on that deck at midship, these would be the least accessed elevators. I would not book the suites directly adjacent because of lack of privacy on the balcony, but one away from the lifts should be OK. With the more central location you'd be more likely to stop by the Neptune Lounge for a nosh! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if its worth it to move to the neptune lounge? Its our first time on HAL and I don't know how intrusive the elevators are? Any idea? Stop! Late in the day for me. I reversed the directions of the beds and couches for the two staterooms! I just looked at our cruise log that we keep. We were in SA7065 aboard the Nieuw Amsterdam to Alaska in 2016. That had the bed facing aft like SA7061. The Neptune Lounge is further forward in the next section but it is only a few feet difference to walk 7061 vs 7071. The elevators will not make a difference as you are on the "Rotterdam" deck so less passengers due to the number of suites in that area. The deckplan SA7061 does show a closet/storage space across from it. Solid wall is shown by SA7071. You will enjoy the Neptune Suite. I probably would choose either one. Pictures are our 7065.

RGEDad Posted September 3, 2021 #14 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I use https://www.cruisedeckplans.com and from there you can see the placement of the door, and then assume the placement of the bathroom, and the bed is typically on the same side of the room as the bathroom. Larger Suites may not follow that - but the ones I have been in do. The CruiseDeckPlan site also has photographs/videos of some/many rooms You can also see connecting doors - which some people dislike - due to reduced noise suppression. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
