Koningsdam Aft Neptune Suites

[Flyingdutchmen]

Considering a longer 35 day cruise on Koningsdam in February 2024. Only Neptune suites available are aft corner suites on decks 4,5 and 6.

Understand that decks are wrap around and quite large but concerned about motion of ship, exhaust fumes, engine noise, etc. 

has anyone sailed on the Koningsdam in these suites who could help us decide?

thanks in advance.

Stayed in an aft Vista “Suite” on the K-dam and experienced a bit of vibration on the first night only. No engine noise or exhaust issues.  We spent a lot of time on the balcony. 
This was a 7-day Mexican Rivera cruise in November 2021. 
Experiences by others my differ.

Have stayed in several aft Neptunes. Some occasional movement and vibration, but not enough to affect us in any way.

 

Take Deck 4...by far the best of the 3 decks.

I was in a corner aft on K'dam on deck 7. No smells, no engine noise. But in the right (or perhaps I should say WRONG) sea conditions, that ship rode badly. Slammed down on the sea at the back. It was a lot of random bangs and shudders.. Other people have had cruises where it didn't happen at all, so it isn't constant. But we had a few days of it. I'm a good sailor normally, but one day it was so bad, I couldn't go to the MDR because that's at the back and I was tired of the slam-bang, so we had dinner in the Lido, midships and no problem.

 

I hated the bathroom because the shower was tiny. The layout of a corner aft is different from the ones along the side. I'm told that the aft corners on K'dam vary from deck to deck and 7 had the worst bathrooms, so you might do well on 4, 5, or 6. Take a look at cabin descriptions on halfacts and see what you can learn about size and layout of your various possible cabins.
