Thoughts on the Amsterdam

[Assateague Island Princes]

Nope scluvsrain, we didn't experience that at all. In fact, we specifically 'tested' it by having our friends out on that back deck, with all the lights on inside our cabin. All they could see was light and very vague shapes - and then only when they got right up next to the window. From the rail or at the normal walkway of the deck, they could see absolutely nothing but their own reflection.

 

Since we sailed to Alaska in late May/early June, when daylight went well until the early mornings, we'd close our drapes to sleep anyway in order to block out the light so it wasn't an issue. During the day, there was absolutely no seeing into the cabin, even if the lights were on - again, we tried it. Also as an FYI, we rarely saw any crew members on that aft deck, not even in the early mornings when they were washing down the Lido deck above us. If and when they washed down that 'secret deck' it was done when we weren't around - and we spent a LOT of time out there - all times of the day and night;).

Very nice ship with an awesome crew which, for the last several years, has been doing the Grand World Voyage as she will be doing in two weeks. Co-flagship with Rotterdam

Thank you Assateague Island Princes. We have booked a B-to-B in this cabin for Panama and Alaska. From your description it sounds like we are in for a good cruise in a great position.
