Zuiderdam balcony questio

[bajacali]

Hi, we sailed in a balcony cabin on the Zuiderdam in 2003 and looking at photos, we had a cupboard above the sofa that you could store things in. We are sailing on the Zuiderdam again and booked a VC cabin and am concerned about storage space. Last cruise was on the Westerdam in a SY which we loved. Still trying to decide whether we should spend some more and upgrade again to the SY. Would appreciate if anyone knows about the VC cabins. I checked the photos posted here and one or two show the cupboard but many balcony cabins show a framed picture on the sofa wall.

Thanks for the information. Does triple mean a sofa bed in the cabin? We will be in 5038 which indicates a pull out sofa. Do you think that means there will be the storage above?

[jtl513]

Yes and yes.

Thanks very much. Good to know there is some extra storage space if we don't upgrade. Decisions, decisions:)

Remember, there are drawers under the sofa and at the end of the bed.

I don't recall drawers under the sofa previously:confused:
Spender Nui, I don't know the size of the balcony on the SY but we had two nice rattan chairs and foot rests, a table and two chairs. It was considerably larger than the regular veranda cabin balconies. We really enjoyed the SY on the Westerdam.

Thanks for the information.

I don't recall drawers under the sofa previously:confused:
The reason I remember the drawers under the sofa is because we had 3 people in a VA cabin on the Oosterdam (sisiter ship to the Zuiderdam) and when the sofa bed was pulled out it was difficult to get to the drawers!

[bajacali]

Maybe the drawers were there and we didn't even know it! Will be sure to check that this time. Seems each vacation, we need more "stuff" to bring. I admire those that can travel for a week or two with just a carry on. I did 5 days with just a carry on one but it was tough. Couldn't imagine doing the same for a cruise.
