Booked a balcony cabin on HAL deck 11.

Assume you are on a Pinnacle Class Ship (Koningsdam, Nieuw Statendam, Rotterdam), as they are the ones that have balconies on the Sun (11) Deck.

 

Pros: one deck down from the Crows Nest/Exploration Cafe; two decks up from the Lido deck with pools, bars, and buffet. (Also the Spa if that is on your radar!)

 

Cons: cabins higher numbered than 11037/11038 on K'dam and NS, 11037/11040 on the Rotterdam, are beneath the uncarpeted "Retreat" and you may hear deck chairs being dragged around during the night (or day). I haven't heard that about these cabins in particular, but it is reported a LOT from cabins under the Lido pool areas.

 

Second Con: It's a long way to the Main Dining Room! But I figure the walks will do us good.

 

Have booked a cabin forward of 11038 on the K'dam for a 35-day cruise in 2024, so for us the pros outweigh the cons.

Hi Senora!

Did you come back to read your answers in the HAL board? I added some notes on the Eurodam and Nieuw Amsterdam which also have balconies on Deck 11...
