cle1 Posted January 8, 2010 #3 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Here are pictures of 6102 on the Volendam: ------ Thanks to Joanie for keeping the database! IMHO...We had one of these cabins, and NEVER would want another one! Very tight to move around, Very little closet space, No head room by windows. To put windo blinds up and down a crank is needed. After spending a night in this cabin, I was willing to move to ANY other available cabin....Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would take it again in a heartbeat.

It was a short few steps to the outside world and some of the most amazing viewing spots on the ship. I loved it. However, I would agree that if you've got a problem with cramped spaces, it's not exactly spacious. Look next door, however, and you'll find a cabin with more usable space but only 1 window. Next time I find myself free to book up and forward in that area, and particularly on an itinerary with a lot of scenic cruising, I may book one of them again. Here are my photos of the cabin in question: And, the bed's separated: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevNeal Posted January 11, 2010 #6 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Here are photos of the closet space in 6102: It's enough for one person, certainly ... but for two one must be VERY creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevNeal Posted January 11, 2010 #7 Share Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) Meanwhile, 6100 -- which is right next door to 6102 -- is a MUCH better arrangement ... more usable deck space, but only 1 forward looking window. I really liked what I saw in this cabin, and may try to book it in the future. Edited January 11, 2010 by RevNeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchByAssociation Posted January 11, 2010 #8 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Rev, I agree. 6100 is a GREAT room. Any time I'm on the R Class I will absolutely book this room. Hopefully we never book the same cruise... it might come to blows as to who gets the room. I would hate to have to use my influence at the HQ to get it (Of course I'm kidding when I say this) But yeah, the room is phenomenal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's when I'm sharing with someone (like Mom) that 6102 becomes too crowded. My favorite cabins on the R ships are the Js on the Lower Promenade Deck. Can't beat the location for ease of access to all points on the ship and for a nice, smooth ride. Nevertheless, if I'm interested in scenic cruising, up on the Veranda Deck forward is one of the best places to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy doing it. And your questions shows it works:) As you can see from RevNeal and DutchByAssociation, 6100 next door may be larger, but if you really want the view... Have a blast, whichever stateroom you choose:) Joanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help yourself! 2) WHen I went to go and check your Zaandam photos to see if you had used mine (trying to figure out what I mention in #1) I noticed you also have a picture of a VIsta CLass hydropool and a rendering of the Signature class on that page (FYI) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am working on revamping all of the Stateroom Pages and am working on the Veendam today. Thank you so much for the permission and the corrections!!
