AmberTeka Posted May 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I just booked one for January, 2018. 11 Night Caribbean cruise. St. Lucia, which I have never visited, and Barbados are two ports It is hard to find information because the ship is so new. Can anyone give me some information? I like Insides. I like low on ship. I am prone to sea sickness and that works well for me. My husband is a bit claustrophobic. Is it too small for him? thinking I might need to go to an O.V. Thank you.

Adoptionmsw Posted May 17, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Hubby and I did a long cruise (49 days) on the Maasdam. The inside cabins on that ship are pretty much larger than average with a full length couch. Of course we spent a lot of time in the Crows Nest and on the promenade deck but we never felt cramped in the cabin.

Maasdam insides are very comfortable; the same cannot be said as the ships get larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to know how we are supposed to know how your husband will tolerate this cabin, as we don't know your husband at all. No expert, but I would think if one had claustrophobia, a cabin with a window or balcony would pretty much be a requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boytjie Posted May 18, 2017 #6 Share Posted May 18, 2017 A friend of ours was in a J cabin on Main Deck and it was quite spacious, but it did not have a sofa. We were in an I cabin on deck 4 and it was bigger and had a sofa. The sofa wasn't in the greatest location - under the TV and along the side of the bed.

Love the beach Posted May 18, 2017 #7 Share Posted May 18, 2017 We had a J cabin on Main deck. Smaller cabin than on the older ships...we did not have a sofa or a table or a chair. We asked Cabin steward for a chair and he provided one. We used the dresser top for room service tray. I also think your hubby would be better off with a balcony or at least a window.

AmberTeka Posted May 18, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Thank you all. I appreciate the responses. I cancelled that reservation. I booked a Lanai cabin on the Rotterdam for a bit later in January 2018. I understand that cabin has a door that opens to the Promenade And two chairs are outside of the cabin. I suspect he is going to totally enjoy that. I am looking forward to it too. I have read where one should keep the curtains closed at night. But we do that anyway. Claustrophobic people should not be in closed rooms. Totally. But he is not like the wrestling coach I once knew, who passed out when students hid a spider in his Pencil Glass. Not that bad. Just gets the outside chair at the movies. Only flies to funerals. But when it is YOUR issue, it gets a lot bigger. And we can drive to Tampa in 3 hours. I think one of the places we visit used to be called the Banana Coast. That always sounded so exotic to me. And we go to Key West. And we only have to board our hound for a week. I love these message boards. I am always so impressed with how perfect strangers will go out of their way to answer questions. AND if we go on the Konigisdam.in the future, we will at least go O.V. Obstructed. If they have them... Happy Sails to all of US!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
