Iamthesea Posted October 28, 2022 #26 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Oh yes, I remember now when doing my booking. It showed the spa verandah as not being available. We were not interested, anyway, but if doing Club Orange, it would not be a bad deal to have a free upgrade to one of those. What does the V category have over the VA? I assume it's location. Bigger verandah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Gail & Marty sailing away Posted October 28, 2022 #27 Share Posted October 28, 2022 It is a great thing to do if you are on vacation for a week or two. It is well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I'm 6 deep in the line, I think Club Orange people go up to the special floor mat and just ask "what time is it?" just to enjoy their benefit and watch me sulk in the common folks line. LOL..It's all good! Just having fun. same reason you sit in 1st class, watch the peons walk past you while you sip champagne 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get tired of people having their chair in my lap. Also the way my knees are being crunched up in economy is excruciating. Not once have I been drinking champagne snd looking down my nose.

I was talking to the lovely hostess from club orange at the stand where you make reservations. She just randomly handed it to me. Nice. I’ll ask for this listing on our next cruise. I agree, Kasama was a lovely hostess! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger verandah? The spa veranda is near the spa. Beware, to my knowledge those veranda’s are much smaller. You may get a yoga mat and a couple of bottles of complimentary water.

None of that around any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamthesea Posted October 29, 2022 #33 Share Posted October 29, 2022 No more Vitamin Water Zero on the ship? Lemon is my drink. Does anyone know about the V category staterooms? Is it something we should try to change to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing special about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamthesea Posted October 29, 2022 #35 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Thanks you. I had not realized that HAL had gone no plastic. So how is "bottled water" packaged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoshwhosh Posted October 29, 2022 #36 Share Posted October 29, 2022 What is the cost of Club Orange? I am traveling solo on the New Statendam April 29, 2023 in a vista suite. What type of cabin upgrade could I go to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only be upgraded within the Vista Suite category so it would depend on where your current suite is located. Sometimes the $ of a cabin depends on the deck location. On the Nieuw Statendam, the aft-facing vista suites are more expensive, but there are none available on your cruise. There does not appear to be any cabin upgrade available to you, so you would need to determine whether the other benefits of CO are worth $225 to you.

It’s in glass for the large bottles. For the smaller ones there “may” be the metal can with a screw top. They have gone to canned water that have a pop top. Once you’ve opened it no way to close it again. You are committed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
