tkq Posted November 16, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 16, 2019 We are sailing on the Nieuw Amsterdam for the first time on HAL. We have booked a cabin on deck 7. We have a choice of being in the front 3rd of the ship (7034) or the back 3rd of the ship (7081). Any recommendations on being towards the front or back? Considering ship movement, location to amenities, etc. really looking forward to sailing HAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catl331 Posted November 16, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 16, 2019 It seems like when leave our cabin we are first going to eat, so we like the "food end" aft. Neither of the cabins you mention are at the far ends, so you won't get strong motion in either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare *Miss G* Posted November 16, 2019 #3 Share Posted November 16, 2019 The Nieuw Amsterdam is a lovely ship. You have made a good choice. If it were me I would choose 7081 because it’s just a tiny bit further from the elevators and is in great proximity to the Lido deck and market. Not that you will be bothered by the elevators as they aren’t noisy... it’s just a personal preference of mine. Really, you can’t go wrong with either choice. 7034 is close to the Crows Nest and my morning coffee so I would be happy with that one too. Have a wonderful cruise and welcome to HAL! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigi1977 Posted November 16, 2019 #4 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Either choice is good but I would choose the more aft because of movement with both cabins being equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveOKC Posted November 16, 2019 #5 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) I would take 7081 - as its near the aft elevators. Easy access to the Lido dining area and main dining room. Edited November 16, 2019 by DaveOKC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knittinggirl Posted November 17, 2019 #7 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I have to agree w/ Miss G. I'd pick 7081, but if you like specialty coffee, then 7034 is great too. The free coffee aboard is O.K., but we found ourselves getting a lot of coffee in the Crow's Nest. Being on the Nieuw Amsterdam, we know that the Lido can be reached from either midship or aft elevators. Terrace Grill, is nearer to midship elevator. Not sure what slice is in the Retreat, but that's near the aft elevator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
