We are booked on the Zuiderdam on a 7 day trial to Quebec to Boston in September in a verandah. We are also booked on the Koningsdam for the 35 day South Pacific from and to San Diego in February in a veranda. We don't have to make final payment on the Koningsdam until we return from the 7 day. Of course, we are so excited, but in the 55 years (yes!) we have been married, I bet we haven't slept in other than a king more than 20 or so days. That's what initially brought us to the Neptunes. Hope this helps you all to give any more advice (sorry I didn't include this info when first asking for help)
Thanks again for every comment above.
Yes, being four star does help, and adding Club Orange on the Koningsdam will help. We just got off a 12 day Med on the Oosterdam (yes, in a Neptune)
