sixbirches Posted December 30, 2006 #1 Share Posted December 30, 2006 My husband and I are booked on the Noordam in April in Suite SY 6101. We haven't sailed on Holland America before. Any info/comments on this suite? Location, type of suite, good or bad, etc.... Thanks for the info. Katherine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWeaster Posted December 30, 2006 #2 Share Posted December 30, 2006 ... Noordam ... 6101Katherine, This is fairly close to to the middle of the ship and two decks lower than our VA cabins on two of her sister ships. Being closer to the center of gravity than we were you should feel less pitching and rolling than the little bit that we experienced even in fairly rough seas.

MercedMike Posted December 30, 2006 #3 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Looks like a very good suite to me, midships between the elevators, should be fine. You understand that a SY is a "minisuite", not a full suite with all the amenities? It is basically an extra large balcony cabin. I think you will have a GREAT cruise!

rkacruiser Posted December 30, 2006 #4 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Katherine, I was in SY 6064 on the Noordam in November and really enjoyed the stateroom! Wonderfully large veranda: two chairs, with pads, and foot stools plus a table with two chairs--perfect for room service breakfast. Bathroom was roomy with a separate shower from the whirlpool tub. Lots of storage space, including plenty of drawers, which the Deluxe Verandah staterooms lack on the Vista class vessels. If you become chilly while sitting on the veranda, look in the cabinet closest to the veranda door. In my stateroom, there were two deck blankets located there. (If not, ask your steward to obtain them for you.) While the stateroom is roomy, having the two beds put together frees up additional space. You will love the stateroom, I think.

sixbirches Posted December 31, 2006 Author #5 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Thanks for the responses! It's nice to get info from people who have experienced this ship. We are really looking forward to this cruise and trying out Holland America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niborHS Posted December 31, 2006 #6 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Well, the SY cabin I just wanted on the Oosterdam was booked since yesterday. There are SC suites available. Can anyone compare the 2 for me? If anyone has been in a Sky Suite on a Celebrity ship, which one of these is similar to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted January 1, 2007 #7 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Robinsilver, The SC suites are in the Deluxe Verandah Suite category and therefore have more "perks", are larger, and have a larger veranda than the Superior Verandah Suite. One of the advantages would be access to the Neptune Lounge. Many of those who have had that access seem to really enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
