Eurodam - VA Staterooms Adjacent to Life-Boats

[GoPackers]

Good evening my fellow cruisers! My wife and I have been upgraded to VA4129 on the Eurodam, which is adjacent to the life-boats. We are wondering if anyone has experienced one of these staterooms; are there any pros or cons? Other staterooms that resemble our room according to the ship's diagram are VA4132, VA4054 and VA4053. Thank you!

HUGE balconies are a big plus on those rooms. It's one of the hidden secrets onboard.

Great catch! Hope you have a blast!

Great catch! Hope you have a blast!We were in 4130, next to 4132 on the port side. I estimated the 4132 balcony to be about 17 or 18 ft deep!! The deck plan diagram is wrong, and the railing is actually clear out at the far side of the lifeboat.

BUT - nearly all of it is exposed to view from cabins above. There is only one small triangular corner, near the door, which can't be seen by some other cabin.

Thank you for the responses! This is our first time on HAL - we're very excited about the entire experience!

Good day! My wife and I have recently received an upgrade from a VF stateroom to VA4129 on the Eurodam. Does anyone have any information/pictures on this particular stateroom?

Thank you!I just found that I have a picture taken from our window (4130) that shows most of 4132's balcony. If you're interested in it, email me at jtloncc @ bellsouth.net. :)
