Vicky L Posted July 28, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) First time with HAL, like to get some ideas for verandah spa Edited July 28, 2023 by Vicky L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalspin Posted July 28, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) Looking at Spa Verandah on Panorama Deck (10) vs Verandah on Sun Deck (11) on the K'dam, I see no differences but location. What sort of ideas are you seeking? Pics of a Spa Verandah: https://halfacts.com/pinnacle-class/10031-koningsdam/ Also has written notes above the pics, commenting on what is included with the "Spa" vs regular cabin.

oakridger Posted July 28, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 28, 2023 @Vicky L Note the shallower than regular veranda balcony in the spa category. For me, I would rather have a non spa balcony. Here is a regular veranda balcony on Konningsdam. Thanks halfacts.com! 6167 – Koningsdam | HAL Cruiser Information (halfacts.com) ~Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakridger Posted July 28, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Are there are only guaranteed rooms available now for that cruise? I always want to choose my room as well. I'm picky about location! ~Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always want to choose my room as well. I'm picky about location! It's only Vista and Signature Suites that are Guarantee only right now, with Neptune Spa and Pinnacle Suites SOLD OUT. Also you got me curious so I did a faux booking for a Neptune Suite and while it let me choose my own, the choices were slim -- two aft wraps on lower decks, and on midships on Schubert. @Vicky L I happen to be keeping the Master List for that cruise!

Vicky, there are also verandahs forward and aft on Beethoven Deck 4 with super deep balconies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakridger Posted July 28, 2023 #8 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I was in a cabin on deck 5 aft on Rotterdam and right below me were the deck 4 aft verandas. They were huge! ~Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, if I were looking to book myself or a friend, in the Verandahs I am seeing now, I would choose 6094 on the Mozart Deck. It has cabins above and below it (for quietness) and is quite close to the midship elevators. Its furniture/bathroom arrangement would be like this other K'dam cabin: https://halfacts.com/pinnacle-class/6053-koningsdam/ If I were new to HAL, I would call and get assigned to a PCC (Personal Cruise Consultant). Unless you are working through a travel agent that is. Edited July 28, 2023 by crystalspin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
