wild_rose Posted October 5, 2004 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2004 We're in 6004 on the Oosterdam. That's a 'handicapped' cabin, so we'll have only a shower, of course. It's a very quick decision since we found a price we couldn't resist! Is there anything 'wrong' with the cabins at the very front (bow?) of the ship? Too windy? Too noisy? We had very few choices.

It'll be breezy if the captain decides to get up speed, but you make up for that with the great view when coming into port... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy7 Posted October 5, 2004 #4 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Those rooms are much bigger too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted October 5, 2004 #5 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Didn't someone mention that the cabins in the bow have a solid metal partition instead of the plexiglass like on the other verandahs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orcrone Posted October 5, 2004 #6 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Didn't someone mention that the cabins in the bow have a solid metal partition instead of the plexiglass like on the other verandahs? On the Zuiderdam those rooms have the plexiglas. It's the rooms on the Upper Promenade that have the solid partition. I don't know for sure about the Oosterdam.

It's the front cabins on the decks above and below the Upper Verandah that have windows looking out the front. Once again, don't know about the Oostedam.

Is there anything 'wrong' with the cabins at the very front (bow?) of the ship? Too windy? Too noisy? We had very few choices. My brother has 6004 on the Zuiderdam in March. The room is a lot larger (about 250 square feet vs. 176 for a regular VA). The balcony seems to be the same size. When we return I can let you know how the room is, although I guess it's a little too close to your cruise to make a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the front cabins on the decks above and below the Upper Verandah that have windows looking out the front. Once again, don't know about the Oostedam. But the wind blowing past the verandah should be much stronger in the first cabin then those further back. That's my theory, anyway :) -dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druke I Posted October 5, 2004 #10 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Should you hit 30foot or better seas, those bow cabins can give quite a bumpy ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted October 5, 2004 #13 Share Posted October 5, 2004 There have been times when we had suites near the bow - or yes you can feel the "bumps". But, heck, you're at sea! Doen't bother us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
