gambee Posted September 10, 2018 Author #26 Share Posted September 10, 2018 By the size of the room/fixtures/furnishings it has to be Main or Dolphin decks. Definitely not Lower Promenade. My guess is that they were in a category C room on Main as those were the ones rumored to have gotten the full bathroom refresh with glass shower replacing the tub. I think the only other non-suite rooms to get any bathroom updates were the category D rooms on Lower Promenade that were converted to Lanais. Close call, DA Main deck.

gambee Posted September 10, 2018 Author #27 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Please, I want to encourage as many questions as possible. That triggers memories and I can go edit the review. Thank you @cruisingrob21, I just went in and added that info to the review. And Thank you @lax19, Picture changed.

AtlantaCruiser72 Posted September 10, 2018 #28 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Gambee - thanks for the update on the category/room # - I had wanted to book DA2561 for Mum and I because of the location near the forward stairs/atrium/gangway, etc, but was uncertain if it had the updated bath, so had us in a Cat C more mid-ship,to try and make sure - knowing this I'm moving back to my original room choice!!!!!!!! Hopefully we will get lucky :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denton1 Posted September 11, 2018 #38 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Gambee: My wife and I are taking our 14 year old granddaughter on the 2 week Alaska cruise on Amsterdam next July. We will be in a 3 person C cabin on main deck. It is one of the remodeled cabins. Will this be big enough for us all? Also, did you notice some teenagers on your cruise that she would be able to interact with? Thanks for your review. It is great. The pictures are very informative.

Nice hotel, good location. Thank you for following :) Thanks, I'll add it to my list to research. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The C cabin seems to be the same size as my cabin, I think there is good space for 3 people there. I actually think it is larger than some balcony cabins aboard larger ships. It really depends what you consider large space, but I think its good for 3. There were some teenagers, but not many. Like I said, maybe 50-60 children total in the ship, and most of them were a little younger than 14. Maybe 10 or so teenagers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkehlb Posted September 12, 2018 #41 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Thank you Gambee for another fabulous review! Our first cruise was on the Westerdam to Alaska. Like you, we were upgraded, for an unknown reason, but to the level of suite below Penthouse. So spoiled. Your pictures are, as always, great. I want to go back to Alaska. So cool that you are thinking about doing Travel PT. if there is anyone who will appreciate that experience, it is you. Much success in the remainder of your schooling. Try the British Isles and Ireland! You and Mom would love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlantic cruiser Posted September 13, 2018 #46 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Just found this wonderful review. Your photos and amazing as always Gambee. Congratulations on your marriage. So happy for you!!! Happy that you so enjoyed Alaska. I live in Vancouver so it is a wonderful and easy cruise for us. No air!!! I have been many times and think HAL is the best for the same reasons you gave, size of ship and wonderful promenade deck. Also the friendly crew. Alaska has a way of drawing you back. This won’t be your last I am sure.LOL loving your photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your pictures are fantastic. We went on that photo excursion a few years ago and really enjoyed it. We didn't see any bears, but we did get a photo of this little guy on the walk to the Mendenhall Glacier: Loving your review! I can't wait for the next episode.
