We are on the Oosterdam June 29th out of Rome and really appreciate you taking the time to inform us about your experiences, will definitely help us do more planning. Thank you!

we had an aft cabin on Deck 5 for alaska on oosterdam and it was wonderful. Just chairs were provided but a request to the steward for loungers was fulfilled before we left seattle. Great cabins.

We are currently looking at booking the Westerdam for an Alaska cruise on August 13 out of Seattle. We are booking two cabins, a veranda for us parents, and an inside for our grown daughters. We are looking at forward and aft cabins in the VE and VD (veranda) category and the M and L (inside category on the Rotterdam deck 7, and forward and aft VD and VC (veranda) and L and K (inside) on the Upper Veranda deck 6. Also starting to consider deck 4, the Upper Promenade, once again looking at aft as there are no mid ship insides.

Are there any pros and cons you can offer on the Rotterdam deck vs. Upper Veranda deck vs. Upper Promenade? Any pros and cons for forward vs. aft? I don't think the port or starboard side really matters for Alaska but if you have any opinions go ahead and share. In general do you prefer decks, 4, 6, or 7? We are only looking at veranda and inside cabinets. Thanks!

We did the Oosterdam out of Seattle a few years ago. If you can get one of the Aft facing verandas (we were on deck 5) the balcony is huge and no wind. Best cabin ever.
