PoolSlider Posted December 26, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Hello. What is the difference between a Neptune SB and an SA? Is the SB smaller in size? We are 2A/2C so size matters. Can we also hope for a tub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsel Posted December 26, 2015 #2 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Same suite, just different location. That is, unless it is an aft wrap, then you will find a slightly smaller cabin with a much larger veranda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we also hope for a tub? "SA" and "SB" Suites on Navigation Deck, on either side of the ship, are the same but for Handicap Cabins or aft facing. They have tub/shower combination.

CruiserBruce Posted December 26, 2015 #4 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Rotterdam doesn't have aft facing suites. The difference is location, and two SBs are handicap accessible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted December 27, 2015 #5 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Rotterdam did not come out of Fincantieri with aft facing but wasn't she one of the two ships that lost aft pool and got the 'retreat'? She and Veendam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted December 27, 2015 #6 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Not according to the floor plans on the HAL website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted December 27, 2015 #7 Share Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) Yes, cabin #'s B7067, B7065, AA7063, AA7061, AA7070, B7074 and B7076 on Navigation Deck are aft facing cabins. Lido Deck has retreat and aft pool from Navigation Deck is gone and has been for years. Look at the Cruise Atlas, 2014-2015 Rotterdam Deck Plan, page 201.

CruiserBruce Posted December 27, 2015 #8 Share Posted December 27, 2015 None of those are SA or SBs, as the OP asked about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted December 27, 2015 #9 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I was pointing out aft facing cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two implications that they are aft facing SA and SB suites on Rotterdam. That is what I was responding to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted December 27, 2015 #11 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Rotterdam doesn't have aft facing suites. The difference is location, and two SBs are handicap accessible. Doesn't HAL call AA and B cabins Suites? I believe they are Vista Suites,,,, aft facing Suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kazu Posted December 27, 2015 #13 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Hello. What is the difference between a Neptune SB and an SA? Is the SB smaller in size? We are 2A/2C so size matters. Can we also hope for a tub? The SB we had was a smidge smaller than an SA - but we were on the hump and the veranda was bigger. The SB cabin was really well laid out though and other than a slightly shorter couch you wouldn't have really realized it was smaller because of the layout. The main difference is usually location. There is a tub in most of the Neptune Suites. Handicapped cabins are the normal exception to the tub rule generally speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted December 27, 2015 #14 Share Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) There is no 'hump' on Rotterdam. The hump is on the Vista and Signature Class ships. The first time we sailed Rottredam, she was in her Inaugural Year and we did a New Years Cruise. At that time, all the currently called Neptune Suites were on Navigation Deck and were labeled as "S" Suites. There were some category "A" cabins on Navigation deck and they then were referred to (casually) as mini-Suites. The catgory "B" cabins were the same as the "A" cabins but were one deck down on Verandah Deck. The verandahs in the "S"/Neptune Suites on Rotterdam are larger than the side of the ship Neptunes on Vista and Signature Class ships.
