V room views

[MtnClimber1101]

Help me. Our Alaska cruise is less than a month away. We are booked in room V5090 on the Nieuw Amsterdam. I've read some posts that state the verandah rooms on deck 5 are blocked (partially) by the life boats. We upgraded to get a balcony room, and would hate the idea of not having decent views. Can anyone out there put my mind at ease?

The top of the lifeboats sit about a foot or two below where your feet are, the view is really only blocked if you want to hang over the side to look straight down at the water.

 

If you sat on the bed and looked out through the doors you would not even see them. You will have decent views, enjoy your trip.

Here is 5090 on the sister ship Eurodam - do you think it is the same cabin location on the NA?

You'll only miss things below you that are very close to the ship.

We just returned from a Westerdam cruise, V room 5101 which has the same issue of seeing the orange top of the tender when you look down from the veranda. This was our first V room and was an upsell offer. I was worried initially about how the tender would effect our view, but it was no issue at all for us. We loved having a V cabin and viewing the ocean waters from our room was lovely. Unless we travel in cooler climates, we will be hooked on a V cabin next time we sail.

But there are so many cheaper VB to VF that have no lifeboats below them, and have a 6 ft deep balcony instead the 4.5 ft that you had. Edited May 6, 2018 by catl331

True, and we would probably prefer the cabins you mentioned, but didn’t have those choices this time, next cruise we will look into these cabins, especially because their decks are larger!
