Thank you, everyone, for excellent advice and encouragement.

Penny, I DID read your review, and decided it was the best written review ever.

In fact, I called my wife over and read it out loud to her.

If you do not write for a living, you may have missed the use of a strong gifting :))

God bless you all, and know we are VERY grateful !!!

Wow, thanks so much!!!! I feel empowered to make the decision :))

I called the HAL number and the process is not exactly simple.

But she found room 7106 which is toward the back, on the Rotterdam Deck, not far from the elevators, and has a plexiglass wall for the verandah.

Again, the only reason I am being so careful is that this is our 25'th wedding anniversary :))

Does this seem like a good choice?

These messages REALLY help - thanks so much!!! We are grateful!!!

After spending a long time deciding where to celebrate our 25'th wedding anniversary, which cruise line, now we have read that room choice is almost equally important.

Two questions:

1) What is the best way to choose a verandah room (process or actual cabin numbers would be appreciated).

2) I learned that getting advice on specific TA is not OK with CC...but am I allowed to ask you HOW someone would figure out what TA would know what they were doing? And is an on line TA as good as a brick and mortar TA? If these questions are unallowable, please forgive me and disregard...but they are probably the most important? Bad agent could = a fiasco?)
