Hi!

Has anyone been in far forward (especially Category BB 101 -3, starboard) Verandah Deck Mini Suites on Maasdam or her sisters? Would love to hear, and really appreciate, any scoop from folks who've sailed in these Bow-ward cabins, their favorite aspects, and maybe things to be prepared for.

We love that our cabins connect, and us "veterans" do love the motion. Just worried about one first-time cruiser among us who I may have to have some Ginger on hand for :D We're sailing Canada/NE next summer and reckon it won't be as calm as our Carrib/Alaska voyages.

Sorry if this has been asked before, I've been searching like crazy; Did post in the Cabin Tips section first :o .

We're directly under the Penthouse Suite (and over the theatre balcony), and have always sailed midships before. It looks like the "white area" on the deckplan beside us is crew/officer quarters. Anyone know firsthand, and if we should be prepared for a (more noisy) service area in between?

Thank You :)

We were just in the Penthouse - our Canadian/New England itinerary -- never had any rough seas.

But we have also stayed many times in Suite 004 - the rough seas didn't bother us.

We love the forward cabins.

We are almost always mid-ship but have sailed a few times far foward on Navigation Deck when we could not get a cabin more mid-ship. We were in 004 for 14 days on Veendam and it was fine. If that was all there was, we'd wouldn't hesitate to book it again. On Ryndam, we once sailed in 010 and also had no problem at all.
