crusin'k Posted July 25, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Based upon the positive info I was given on this board, we have decided to do the Grand South America cruise. We are sticking with an inside cabin - works best for us. TA suggested cabin J2619 on Main deck. He said it is a little larger which may be an advantage. However, I see it is right next to the stairway. Does anyone have info regarding this cabin, especially the noise factor? Thank you all for your help. It has been a few years since we have been on HAL and are anxious to return! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted July 25, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2022 The inside cabins on the Zaandam are large for the most part. I was not next to the stairs but directly across from the laundry when there was a self service laundry and didn’t hear a thing. Also check Halfacts.com and people leave photos and sometimes comments about the cabins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuthC Posted July 25, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 25, 2022 As a multi-time veteran of this cabin, on all four R-class ships, I just answered your question on the other thread you started. In a nutshell, you are welcome to the cabin as long as I don't want to be on the ship at the same time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most gracious RuthC! 😆 Are there any veteran HAL cruisers that don't have a stateroom that we most prefer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crystalspin Posted July 26, 2022 #7 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Observation Deck on a Vista ship. Before the pandemic, one of the insides-with-a-window. Now, a balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
