packercruising Posted February 21, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2018 We just did a lateral move to Category AA on Zaandam, which puts us directly under the buffet. We are wondering how noisy it might be. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisyloo Posted February 21, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 21, 2018 If you are under the dining area of the Lido it probably will be okay as I think that area is carpeted. If it was under the food prep/serving area it could be noisy I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtn2Sea Posted February 21, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 21, 2018 A few years back, we were on the Ryndam in a balcony cabin directly below the Lido. We never heard a sound from above. Turned out to be a great location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted February 21, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 21, 2018 AA -- balcony cabins are under the area that is carpeted where the tables and chairs are. So no hearing of chairs and tables being moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packercruising Posted February 22, 2018 Author #8 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Just sailed on Zaandam in Cabin 7061 - no problems, great location. Very close to ours, thanks! Have you posted a review of the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublebzz Posted February 22, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Very close to ours, thanks! Have you posted a review of the ship? I have not but let me say we were very pleased with the ship. I understand the ship is going into overhaul in April although we found the ship to be in excellent condition and was surprised it was due for a refurbishment. The service throughout the ship was superb and the cabin attendants among the best we experienced in 16 HAL cruises. Food quality was also quite good. 4 of the 22 days we ate in the Pinnacle grill and the Italian specialty restaurants and thought the surcharge was worth it. Captain Norman was very informative and did his best to keep us out of bad weather. If there was a negative, and this should come as no surprise, it was the entertainment which I would rate as mediocre. I think you will be very happy with your cruise.

Quite sure we will be happy with the cruise.

DaveOKC Posted February 23, 2018 #11 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I like to book cabins right under the Lido buffet as it is carpeted and thus quiet, plus one easy flight of stairs to FOOD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt! Everything I have read so far is thumbs up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
