Hi all,

We are looking at booking a Alaskan cruise from Vancouver next July, we are thinking of booking a verandah stateroom on the observation deck on the Ms Noordam. These are the new ones. Does anyone have any photos, advice, size noise etc... On these new cabins ? There diesnt seem to be a lot of info or reviews on these staterooms. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks

I just stayed in room 10018 on the Noordam (Feb 28-Mar10 2014). A lovely room with all new furnishings. It seemed smaller than most balcony staterooms on Carnival and Princess that I have occupied. First time on HAL. The balcony was small, but rectangular in ship consistent with the shape of the hull. It had two chairs, one with an ottoman, but they had to be configured fore and aft, rather than athwarships due to the fact that the balcony extended out only about 3 and a half feet. The pictures of the Noordam on the HAL site are not accurate, nor are the available onboard pictures. I have some and will send them via email if anyone provides an email address. I can not figure out how to upload them. Maybe someone else can get them from me and upload them.

Hi wallymax, could you possibly email me the pictures of the room ? We are thinking of booking this room on a cruise next year. We are finding it hard to find any pictures of these new cabins. My email is: whitey76@internode.on.net

Thanks for your time
