Has anyone sailed on the Zaandam handicap rooms 7087 or 7088??

If so, does the deck go all around to the back or is that blocked off??

thank you

Linda,
I checked them out on my recent cruise on the Zaandam. You can look out toward the wake from one end of your balcony, but it does narrow somewhat because the railing curves in there. There is a divider between the balcony and the public deck.

You are welcome.:)

Also want to add that B 6225 and B6228 one deck down have longer balconies than 7087 and 7088.

Just got back from Zaandam 6225 and while the balcony is bigger than deck 7 the bathroom is a joke. They have no bar to support a transfer on the toliet. Also no fold down bench just a little shower chair. Also the wheelchair accessible public bathrooms are few and far between. I feel Celebrity Millennium Class ships are much better for wheelchairs. Plus the food on Holland is no where near the quality of Celebrity.

Do you have any pictures from the Millie of the handicap bathrooms?

I would like to see them.

Thanks, I would appreciate it!

I have noticed that Princess and HAL don't have any kind of grab bars in front of the toilet where they would have been the most help. Something that folded down so it wouldn't be in the way otherwise.
