Nieuw Amsterdam VQ Observation Deck Balconies

[bzv143]

Dear CCers: I know the balconies on this ship way up on the tippy top deck are "viewing"--ergo SMALL--but wanted to know if the dividers open up to the next verandah so that my family and I can have a long "viewing" balcony. Anyone know?

We are booking two cabins next to each other so we can roll into the Crow's Nest anytime we want. ;-) it would be nice if I can access my family in the next room via the eeny weeny balcony rather than going out into the hallway in my jammies.

To the best of my knowledge and experience on the NA, all of the balcony dividers can be opened. Just ask your Room Steward.

Looking at the photos posted online, I do not think that those particular dividers fold open. The balcony is only 23 sq. ft.

 

They are rectangular in shape on the Niew Amsterdam but three sided (?) on the Eurodam.

Jammies are not much of a problem. It is a small hallway for just those cabins.

You will already have 2 of the few cabins. In 14 days I saw another person in that hallway once!

... but three sided (?) on the Eurodam.

Really more like one sided - an arc - not something with "left" and "right" sides.

Was there a table and two chairs?

Yes there is a table and two up right chairs. The. Nicest thing about these rooms is that there are only 10 rooms on floor 11 and it is close to the crows nest.

We just returned from our Eurodam cruise. We had a VQ on deck 10. It had two chairs but no table. We still enjoyed it.

Just off the Nieuw Amsterdam cabin 10026, had a table and 2 chairs with seat cushions, 4 1/2 feet wide which was ample room for us. Best thing about this cabin is that it is under a deck 11 VQ which provided an overhang eliminating the possibility of people looking down on you, also on port side good for watching the sun rise...

uhhhh ... that kinda depends on which way the ship is heading! ;)

The Nieuw Amsterdam heads south from Ft Lauderdale, even got to see the sun rise while looking toward the aft traveling to Cozumel last week...

The Nieuw Amsterdam heads south from Ft Lauderdale,

Sure, at first, but that's less than half of most itineraries.
