Stx3me Posted August 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Hi all, does anyone have any experience with an aft cabin on the Rotterdam (or niew statendam), Deck 8? Specifically we are a bit worried about a pool directly overhead for noise from deck chairs etc. Cabin #8199 specifically. Thanks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 0106 Posted August 26, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Sailed 4 different HAL ship in aft deck 8 cabins. We always try to reserve an aft cabin on deck 8 for easy access to Seaview pool and Lido. Because it is all the way aft there is less noise than cabins under the Lido. Occasionally, we have heard brief, minor noise while the deck chairs are being set up in the morning but it has been minimal. We will be sailing for the first time on the Rotterdam in February in an aft cabin on deck 8. I am wondering if we will get any sunshine. There seems to be quite a large overhang.

palmerett Posted August 26, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Sailed Niew Statendam in May. Had 8138, no noise. Loved the location. Our go to deck now. Always choose AFT. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stx3me Posted August 26, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted August 26, 2022 We are concerned about the overhang as well, don’t want to be in the shade for 11 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted August 26, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Great cabin. The scraping noise was brief and muted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRWolf Posted August 26, 2022 #6 Share Posted August 26, 2022 We booked deck 7 aft on the Rotterdam for the Vista Suite instead of the Veranda Stateroom on deck 8. PCC seemed to think it was important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stx3me Posted August 26, 2022 Author #8 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) North to south, and reverse. It’s an 11 day southern Caribbean cruise. Edited August 26, 2022 by Stx3me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfish Posted August 26, 2022 #9 Share Posted August 26, 2022 We were in 8197 and loved it. There was an occasional sound of chairs being moved, but nothing that woke us up or prevented us from sleeping. We did get sunshine on the balcony, but the big overhang was great when the weather was a little wet. I'd book it again in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 0106 Posted August 26, 2022 #10 Share Posted August 26, 2022 @BRWolfWe upgraded to a Vista suite once. Didn’t feel like the extra room was worth the money since it didn’t come with any extra perks (like the Neptune cabins). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
