TahoeTraveler Posted January 29, 2010 #2 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Most definitely 4180. Deck 4 was the only one not affected by the retrofit when they extended the afts on Deck 6 and above. It still has the exact same configuration as before the retrofit...meaning it has the most exposure. I chose it for our Panama Canal cruise for that very reason. I don't have a picture, but there is a board on CC with a small picture of the entire aft after the refit.

IkeEsq Posted January 31, 2010 #5 Share Posted January 31, 2010 If you are going through the Panama Canal, 4180 is THE cabin to have. - Ike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZNative2000 Posted October 12, 2010 #8 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Thanks I will be in 4180 excited any pictures :cool:Just booked Panama canal 2/21/11. Does anyone have information on this cabin? (6166) Zuiderdam stern taken June 2010. We were in 6177 on Zuidy in June. Second photo is looking down on 4185, the starboard version of 4180. More photos on Joanie's site.

IRL_Joanie Posted October 12, 2010 #9 Share Posted October 12, 2010 :cool:Just booked Panama canal 2/21/11. Does anyone have information on this cabin? SC 6166 & SC 6177 Deluxe Verandah Ocean View Stateroom Deck 6 Upper Verandah Deck.http://joanjett2000.topcities.com/HAL/Zuiderdam/index.html They are exact duplicates, just one is on the port side, the other is on the starboard. AZNative2000 provided the photos this year of SC 6177, so they are the most current. Due to her photos and descriptions, as well as other CC members, I've booked SC 6177 for next September.

jankn Posted October 14, 2010 #10 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I know you were asking about the Zuiderdam but I think they are both really similar since the retrofit....we were in 6166 on the Westerdam this past spring and extremely disappointed by the interior space. The balcony was a dream but space was so limited inside that we had very minimal closet space and actually, space to move around in, as well. We have always had a balcony and more often than not a suite, but we were extremely disappointed with this one. There are some on this board who have disagreed with our view but I have read some of their posts and know they wouldnt have been enthused about the accommodation either....jmho............

Rare Essiesmom Posted October 14, 2010 #11 Share Posted October 14, 2010 From the point of view of a solo who can only afford and inside cabin, this (6166 on Westerdam) looks plenty roomy to me! EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jankn Posted October 15, 2010 #12 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Yes, I can see where it would look roomy compared to an inside cabin but when you book an SC suite its a disappointment compared to others we have had. Those chairs near the coffee table at the foot of the bed had to be moved to allow walking thru there without problems, others we have had were not nearly as crowded.

Seavoyage Posted October 15, 2010 #14 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Has anyone stayed in either of these cabins since the retrofit was complete.Trying to decide which would be better for sun as DW likes to sun If you have photos that would be great thanks Hi YoJohn We were in SC 6166 last year (November) on the wonderful Zuiderdam. Loved the cabin - it is a hike to the Neptune but did not concern us. We are sun people as well and had both sun and shade no worries there. Private closer to balcony door and on side as well but can get very windy so hold on to your hat and sunglasses! Balcony had good size table with chairs - 2 regular sitting chairs and 2 lounge chairs. Cabin is smaller than SB or SA our steward kindly removed one of the room chairs in the cabin and that saved a toe or two I am sure. Have fun - any other questions happy to answer. Have a great time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
