Konningdam - single occupancy

[Hflors]

Since HAL is building a new ship Konningdam wouldn't this be a great time for haL to put in a few single occupancy cabins? Maybe just 10 or so. I know there are many on cc who would be able to cruise a lot more if HAL did that. I don't need it now put who knows what will happen in the future.

The ship does have cabins for solo cruisers.

There are 12 of them on Main Deck -- all the way forward.

In trying to do a dummy reservation I found that one must specify a particular cabin rather than just cabin type as you can for inside cabin.

If you indicate on HALs booking site that you are booking for one person...then the single cabins come up - for example, 1020, 1015, etc. All the way forward on the Main Deck.

They do have cabins for solos on the Koningsdam. I have one booked. :D

Please let us know your thoughts about the single when you have completed your voyage. Thanks

The 12 cabins for solo passengers are ocean view -- not inside.

I did a dummy booking for June 2016 -- once I selected ocean view, the site asked me for a specific cabin. Typed that in -- could have had it if I wanted it.

Not a problem.

[Padraic]

Thanks for the information. I guess I didn't try hard enough. I was able to do a dummy reservation by specifying a ocean view and was able to get one of the solo cabins.

[Hflors]

Thanks everyone for that info. When I spoke to the future cruise person on Ryndam (and he gave me a set of the ships specs.) he didn't say a thing. That is why I brought it up. I have not had time to look them over, but now I see them. Good for HAL. (and its about time)

 

OK all I stand corrected!! hehe!!!

About time. Every cruise that we've been on always had solo cruisers. They always talked about having to pay single supplement, which adds a lot to the cost of a cruise. I'm sure this will be welcome news to all solo cruisers.

If anyone sails in one of the single cabins - please take lots of photos and upload for HALFACTS so we can all see!

Sure -- keeping in mind it's still over a year away. ;)

On some cruise lines the solo cabins are almost the same price as having a regular cabin with the single supplement (sometimes the same or even more).

 

I'll have to try a dummy booking for the new ship and see how the prices compare.

Was curious about the pricing so did a dummy booking for the 12 Oct sailing with cabins next door to each other and what I found was:

 

Single cabin #1011 at $3541

Single occupancy cabin #1013 at $4508

Double occupancy cabin #1013 at $2729 each

 

hmmmmmmm

This looks like good news to all those single & solo cruisers. Hope in future new ship builds they include more single cabins.

I'm considering booking a solo oceanview cabin for the 4/15/16

sailing round trip Rome. What date did you book?

so about a 30% markup as opposed to the 50-100% markup taking place on various categories at the present time... Not bad at all.

Thanks for taking the time to do a dummy booking for us.

Does anyone know when we will be able to book reservations for the U.S.? It arrives in November 2016 but couldn't find where you could reserve.

Did you 'phone/email HAL to enquire? :confused:

I tried a couple of dummy bookings with fairly similar results (slightly smaller supplements). It took me awhile (HAL's website is not the easiest to try dummy bookings) to find one where the cabins were close to each other. Here is my latest result.

 

OV cabin 1024 - $1519 per person/double occupancy

OV cabin 1024 - $2430 single occupancy - 160% of above

OV cabin 1018(single cabin two away from 1024 and one of the largest single cabins)- $1899 - 125% of cabin 1024's pp/do rate

 

These figures were from the 31 July, 2016 7-day Viking Saga cruise.

^^That's not bad at all. At present I don't need single supplement, but my hubby isn't real big on vacations unless it leaves out of San Diego.
