"We had 6100 and it's actually a lot larger then 6102."

We had the cabin with only one window, and it is second away from the outside door. We were on the Amsterdam, and at least for the Amsterdam, 6100 was a lot larger than 6102, with both cabin doors in a different place right on the main hallway. The deck plan for the Amsterdam used the deck plan for a different ship, so we were surprised to end up with the larger cabin. But it was a nice surprise.

That said, if you aren't on the Amsterdam, I'm honestly not sure what you will get space or set up wise. You could check Cruise Deck Plans and see if there are any pic, or ask your TA.

Wow, have to go back 3 years in my memory here... we were a bit leery of booking these cabins since we had always had a balcony, but our friend suggested them and we trusted him so we booked both. Great suggestion! We had 6100 and it's actually a lot larger then 6102. Easy access to the outside door (just steps away) and it is very nice to see where the ship is going! The windows do slope and keep in mind because of the way the light plays and the fact that the bridge is right above you, you can not have the window shades up at night if there is any light on in your cabin. The bridge will notify you quickly to put the shades up, or so the sign said under the window! Since you are at the very end of the corridor, it's very quiet. We didn't have an issue with any loud music or noises, and because of the sloping of the windows and a barrier, anyone on the outside observation deck (and it will fill up) is not able to see in to your cabin.

Views were great! How could they not be? You see what the bridge sees! Lots of space in 6102 (the one on the right, if I am remembering the cabin number correctly) large bathroom, lots of closet space, room to move around, very nice. I would recommend.

...it still cracks me up watching him......

:D No pun intended, of course! Fun memory, worth laughing at over time.

I've been following these for quite a while now, and I think I might have to go back and check them out again. There are quite a few I wouldn't mind laughing at again....

Ummmmm I meant this is "thread" which should continue forever.... :rolleyes:

You get a LIKE on this, because I totally agree with you!

A few years ago on my very first cruise....it was bunch of us guys whom were cruising together. My friend, who is a professional singer and does old-school Frank Sinatra type music.....told us that he had a surprise for us in the lounge (on the Carnival Imagination) and to be there at a certain time (I think around 9pm or so). We all gather at the lounge (half in the bag, of course) and we see our friend get on stage. We start cheering and chanting his name, as we all thought this was the surprise--that he was performing on the cruise for us. Well he did perform and sang "My Way" by Frank Sinatra. Well, as he was singing thru the song he began to take one piece of his tuxedo off, at a time. Our group of friends are all thinking to ourselves "what is he doing" and "oh my god, I hope he doesn't do what we think he's doing"....(as he is known to remove all of his clothing when he has been drinking). Well as the song is about to end he takes his dress shirt off and low and behold its a "Hooters" waitress shirt and immediately after he removes his dress pants and yes...its was the tight orange "Hooters" waitress shorts......and he then ended the song with the traditional last line "and I did it my way"! And the entire crowd erupted (including us) cheering, laughing, and chanting his name...they even pleeded for him to do an

encore song wearing the Hooters uniform...which he did. It is one of my fondest memories of cruising.

What a great story! I now wish I had been there! Great memories for you guys, and this is def a friend worth buying drinks for!

Nice to have our memories jogged once in a while. :)

ha has, as we get older, it's nice to have it jogged more often then not!

Jersey Guys, thanks for those pics. We booked this cabin on the Sapphire Princess for a coastal in April 2012, and I have been looking for pics like this. Great to find them.

Great thread, thanks everone!

Ive been enjoying this thread all day. Imagine my surprise when I saw this icon used which Ive been using for the better part of 2 years on a couponing forum I moderate :D Small world !

OMG I don't even remember posting that. LOL.

Armunet, we walked into that same cathedral after a tour the one time we were in Mexico. As you said, it was full of people, but it was for a huge wedding. However, the funny thing happened on our way into the church. A tourist was going up the steps outside just ahead of me, and he dropped something on the 3rd step. As he bent over to pick it up, there was a loud rip, and I glanced up and realized he had ripped the seam of his shorts, and I could see his untidy tidy whities, and so could God and everyone else! He shrugged, and continued on into the cathedral. I don't think he realized how exposed he was. LOL.

First off let me say that I think RevNeal is the best person to ask this question of as I am using his photos to reference this question:) That said, looking at the following photo I would have to believe that the 2 stateroom doorways face each other in the hallway and the door at the end is to the bow of the ship.

Thanks Joanie. Per your suggestion, I contacted rev Neal, and his reply follows:

Except that the pics of the rooms themselves show the doors to the cabins facing the "front" of the ship where the windows are. And I believe that door goes to the port side of the ship.

Ok, I'll find a way to ask the good Rev.

Thanks for your assistance.

Thanks Joanie. It made me loopy just looking at the pics and the deck plans... Rest up.

I am going on my first HAL cruise soon, and have a question about the cabins we selected.

We are sailing with friends, and we have reserved cabins AMSTERDAM : VERANDAH DECK : D6100 & D6102.

On the ship deck diagrams they show these cabins as having doorways on a "private" hallway, across from each other.

However, in the pics on Joanie's site, you can see that the open doors are facing the windows, which we know face the front of the ship (directly under the bridge.)

Is the diagram incorrect, or am I seeing the photos from a weird angle and they are giving an incorrect perspective?

My buddy is going by the diagram, I say the photos are correct. Not a big deal or any kind of deal, I just want to be able to say NAH NAH NAH! :D Also, just kinda wondering....

My wife and I booked 6102 on Volendam for Alaska May 25. It will be her first cruise without a balcony - having been to Alaska on Zaandam I thought this would be a good location with easy access to the outdoor areas forward. We'll see about it and report back.

Thanks Caliboy.

We always sail out of SF since we live very close to the city, and I always take it before we leave, and then for the next day or two. I guess I'm going to either have to take it every day of the cruise (14 days? Ugh!) or get a sea sick patch. The patch works well for me, the Bonine is ok, but I haven't taken it long term before.

Ugh. Seasickness. I get sea sick easily, but thought that I might not have an issue like that because I usually get sick when we leave SF and make that dreaded right turn up the coast. I may be sleeping in the atrium! :o

We have these cabins for our upcoming August cruise. First time I have not had a balcony, so I'm a bit leary, but we wanted this amazing itinerary for this 14 day cruise. Hoping it's not too bad. Good point about the outside door slamming. Glad we don't have 6102! :rolleyes:

What planet are you from? a lesbian couple is just that, a lesbian couple. There is no "he."

 

Here I always thought that travel broadened the mind.

Hmmm... interesting observation. I have to ask my lesbian friends about that. :confused: I know when a guy dresses in drag he is referred to as "she."

I've used the mens room at the baseball game when the ladies line was waaaay too long. Didn't bother me as long as the stalls had doors on them! :p

I left out he spent the nights softly knocking, begging, pleading, crying and telling her how beautiful she was!!

He rarely left the hall, and the weird thing was he was very cheerful during the day.

I bet the making up was really good! :D

Yup, exactly what I was thinking. Wise parents!

Ha ha. I just cruised with him on the Duck Cruise, Sea Princess Aug. 22. He had a remote controlled fart machine. 10 days of Duck hi-jinks. :D

On our very first cruise in 2007, we had a great cruise critic roll call. One of our members, known affectionately as Billy Bob, actually had his dentist make him a pair of false teeth that were, let's say, kind of weird.

 

At dinner one night (in the Crown Grill), we had a lovely waitress from Rumania. After she told us about all the entrees we could have, Billy Bob put in his false teeth and said "can I eat the steak with these?" The poor thing, she was flabbergasted until we all started to laugh.

 

It was a great time and our server had a great laugh!

THAT we need a pic of!

True true true....
