Thank so much for taking time to answer our questions. See you on board. Marilyn and Lew

Our son had an F1suite. His Verandah was much smaller than ours; we were in a Concierge D suite and had a full chaise lounge on the Explorer. This year we also checked the categories and they remain the same. Concierge and above have larger verandahs.

On Explorer and Splendor, the Concierge cabins have a larger Verandah, which also includes a chaise lounge and chairs. The cabins below Concierge have a smaller Verandah and do not include full chaise lounges.

Do you remember the suite number or what deck and location that it was on? We’ll be on the Splendor in a couple of months and I’m a light sleeper.

Hi Bill and Mary Ann, We will be on the Zuiderdam for 59 days beginning Oct. 3. From SD to Ft. L, arriving Dec. 1. We have a few questions to ask, so we know what it will be like on the ship. We are 4 Star Mariners and have been on the Zuiderdam before, many years ago, but not recently. 1. What is the MDR like; is it possible to get a table for 2 away from other diners, or is it one table on top of another? We have open seating, is there a recommended time to get there when it will not be as crowded? I know that it does depend upon the number of cruisers on the ship, but what is your opinion at this time. 2. What % of passengers are masked? Do they mask at all? 3. Where do you generally have lunch? We are thinking of getting lunch at the buffet, masked, and bringing it outside to eat it. The weather will be warm, so we feel that this is a good option. 4. Have you attended any CC functions? If so, have they generally been masked? 5. We are not comfortable with large group tours, do you think that it will be possible to arrange private tours at the pier after we dock? 6. Our Verandah cabin is on deck 4 toward the very back of the ship, starboard. As far as you can tell is this a quiet area(no loud engine noises, vibrations, etc). If it is not, we still have time to change our cabin. Thank you in advance for your answers. Marilyn and Lew
