I am looking at booking cabin 3331 on the Holland Americas Rotterdam, however am confused if its a balcony or a window. When I go to book it, it says balcony, but when looking at the deck plan, it says ocean view. I must be missing something, or else there is a glitch somewhere. :confused:

Hi, I use a manual wheelchair and we were in cabin 5223, inside. The cabin itself was huge, there was plenty of room for me to get down the side of the bed and I could easily turn around in the room without hitting furniture. The bathroom was adequate, although a bit on the small side. I could still turn around easily though. The door into the room was quite heavy, and my key card kept failing, on the 34 night cruise it would of failed about ten times!

We didn't have a very friendly room steward, and I find that does tend to make a slight difference to the overall ambience.

All in all, I loved it and didn't want to get off...I would go again as long as the itinerary had a lot of stop overs.

I am sure you will have a ball!

Thanks Splinter, thats just the sort of information I am looking for. Im in the process of contacting blue hawaiin to see if we can book the helo tour.

It looks like local buses might have to be the go again!

Thanks Essiesmom, ive had a browse through but am still hoping to find a tour that is wheelchair friendly. For just once we would like to be able to get on a bus/van and have someone give us a guided tour and then return us to the ship. Instead it looks like we are back to catching local buses and taxis and trying to work out the best places to see ourselves..for those that continually have to do this sometimes it can be really quite stressful. :(

Hi everyone....we are cruising in April from Sydney, Australia to Vancouver on the Oosterdam and was hoping to get some suggestions of accessible things to do and see in Nawiliwili Kauai and Honolulu in Hawaii. We would prefer to have a pre organised tour, but if this isn't possible would look at hiring a taxi for all or part of the day. I would love to see some volcanos from a helicopter.

It would all have to wheelchair friendly.

Thanks!

I've just called, apparently they don't provide any military OBC now, even in the US. Bummer. I imagine that decision over there won't be popular.

Agree completely KJ....I might ring HAL again and ask them about this policy and if it looks like changing. Think I will do it now, nothing better to do in 44 degree heat!

Hi, I've been loving this thread, it's humour and the photos. We have booked a cruise in 2015 going from Sydney to Vancouver and I am already counting it down. The ship looks beautiful from the outside!

One thing I was disappointed to learn is that HAL Australia will not give on military onboard credit, but HAL will in the US. That's a bit rough I think.

Hi all, Ive been looking at all your gorgeous dresses and thought I would post a pic of one that I have just bought. I am going on the Queen Mary 2 from Adelaide in Australia to Southampton next year, 34 nights. I am NOT a dress up girl, its not that I dont like it, but have very little confidence in my body and myself. So I think all this dressing up is going to do my head in!

Hi, Ive had a look at your blog, I went around NZ on Rhapsody of the Seas two years ago and it was great. I couldnt find the pics of the cabin on your site though, can you direct me please.

Thanks.
