We sailed on the Nieuw Amsterdam recently and got an inside cabin for the first time. We actually started with a balcony cabin on our first cruise years ago. But then realized we spent hardly any time out there. So the next cruises were outside w/windows. Until we realized we rarely bothered to open the curtains since we weren't in the cabin much during the day. So to save $$$ we went with the largest inside cabin the Nieuw Amsterdam class of ship had, and we *LOVED* it.

 

This was I think a J-class room on the Main Deck (1063) and the floor plan was laid out so nicely that the cabin didn't have any of the closeness that I've felt in other cabins. There was actually room to move around without bumping into furniture, tons of storage space, and a nice sitting area with an l-shaped little couch. But, as noted by others, only a shower in the bathroom, no tub. But that's fine by me because if I'm going to take a bath I want a *BIG* tub which isn't likely to be found in any cabin I could afford.

 

The darkness and quiet was soooo nice too. I even put a towel across the bottom of the cabin door to block the hallway light from seeping in. :rolleyes:

Thanks Jim...have that same cabin reserved. Question please; was the TV fixed in a position that could not be seen from the bed? I've been trying to determine if the TV in cabin 1063 can swivel. Many thanks in advance for any information about this.

Thanks CB...still a learning curve here.

Don't ask Typhoon1 or I about it, as neither of us, or my DW, could survive without one:D;):rolleyes::)

I won't 'cause I understand. Awesome!

Anyone had this one? If so, were there many people in front of this cabana? How far of a walk to the bbq luncheon? Thanks for your replies.

Partner and myself have had zero problems on Carnival. We are pretty low-key for the most part and don't draw attention to "being gay". Most people are okay but we have had people leave the table at breakfast once they make up their minds that they could not "deal" with a gay couple. Mostly we have had our own dining table...and the "Grant" didn't bother the Matride' to accomplish getting seating with other "family".

my only experience with carnival was business related so i have no idea what to expect. All the other ships i have been on have certainly not felt homophobic and i have had a great time. Only 1 held an fod party' date=' but for the most part i have always felt part of the cruise. I would be interested to hear what people's experiences on carnival have been.
