We were just upgraded to one on our last Noordam cruise - VB4178. The balcony was larger than we've ever had before (9.5 ft x 10.5 ft), but bad vibrations kept me awake most of several nights. Also, I didn't like the fact that I couldn't see much of anything except when I was up close to the railing. Maybe there was a 45 degree view from further back, as opposed to a 150>160 degree from the side verandahs. Plus I like to be able to see somewhat ahead, not just where we've been. Some people "love" watching the wake. I don't. :)

 

I don't think the stern verandahs on the Eurodam are nearly as deep as what we had on the Noordam.

We booked one on our upcoming cruise, March 12, 2010. We are staying in Cabin 6166 which is a stern cabin and have heard these are not as big as some of the older boats. When are you travelling?

 

We had one aboard the Westerdam about 3 years ago and LOVED it. In fact, we stayed out on it as much as possible, and fortunately (for me) it was covered by the deck above.

Do you know how deep the side ones are?

Midship - Decks 6-8: About 66"

Midship - Deck 5: @4'

At the ends - Decks 5-8: 66"

Deck 4: @ 7' deep.

Ours was on deck 7, and we loved it. Didn't sense any vibration other than normal. Enjoyed watching the wake, and liked that we could see port and starboard action from the same spot.

Thanks for the input
