Which one of these Deck 8 aft cabins on Koningsdam?

[foggyphils]

Anyone have an opinion on which one of these deck 8 aft cabins I should choose? 😄

It's for a RT Alaska cruise out of Vancouver.

Not a recommendation but maybe a suggestion --- there might be a lot of chair scraping from the Lido deck above you...not sure what is right over you.

Oh yes, and good point. I'm aware of the pool deck above but I really like that the deck 8 cabins are fully covered. My thoughts are that they will be more protected from the elements. Also, they may be a bit bigger according to this chart. And it will be a quick flight up one floor of stairs for any wildlife viewing on the sides. At least that's my logic 😄. Not sure if it's sound!

I was on the N. statendam in one of those cabins, loved it.  8197 and 8188 are smaller than the others.  They have one less closet than the others 

 

the deck chair scraping is only very early around 6:30 - 7 am.  It is only for a moment and not terribly problematic

Thank you Mary! This is exactly the info I was hoping to confirm. Much appreciated!

We were in an aft cabin in March.  Hear no noise from above at all.  You will feel a little shaking when entering/leaving port.  Cabin aft are great!

Thanks everyone. I asked for 8199 but someone else beat me to it 😄

Ended up choosing 8201!

Very cool chart on room sizes. Where do I find this?  TIA

[foggyphils]

@Troban someone painstakingly did it from cruisecritic. Search “ koningsdam aft view” on the boards. I’m on a tiny device right now so I’m not able to do it right now.

We had 8192 on Koningsdam for an Oct 2019 Transatlantic cruise. Loved the location and no ongoing issue with noise from above. Easy access to the Lido deck!

Perfect! Thanks for the feedback. I keep second guessing myself 😄

can never have too many affirmations - we had a similar cabin on the Eurodam, loved it and there was not an issue with noise from the Lido deck. You 'might' hear some chairs being moved, but it's not loud and doesn't last long. And has been said - great access to the Lido to run up for a drink to bring down enjoy on your balcony.

I wish I had seen the graphics shown above before my last cruise on this ship. I choose an aft balcony on deck 4 only to find a tiny deck, not at all like those on other ships or apparently on deck 7-8 on this ship. We are booking another Mexico cruise for December and this time I’m going with deck 4 4160 showing a larger deck.
