LHC Posted March 6, 2007 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2007 DS and I had one cabin assignment now my DD wants to join us so we have been moved to the C Category 6104 cabin on the Volendam. Anyone with experience in this cabin? Thoughts about it? Pictures of it? Thanks, Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanders Posted March 12, 2007 #2 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Hi... we had this cabin last year. We loved it. I sent pictures to someone else. Do a search under my posts and they should come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHC Posted March 12, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Thank you I found them. They are much better and helped so much more than the ones HAL sends. Linda We will have 2 chairs also. One electric and one push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LHC Posted March 13, 2007 Author #5 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Did you have an extra plug for charging your chair? Or if yours is not electric, did you notice an extra three prong plug in these rooms? Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanders Posted March 14, 2007 #6 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Neither of our chairs are electric so we didn't have any need to look for one. Sorry I can't help with that question. Sherran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sueart46 Posted March 14, 2007 #7 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Did you have an extra plug for charging your chair? Or if yours is not electric, did you notice an extra three prong plug in these rooms?Linda There is only one outlet for 2 plugs. It's located by the desk. You might want to get a plug that will make 1 plug into several. Also, I needed an extension cord so that I could leave my chair by the bed while it was charging in case I needed to get up during the night. The ship did not have either so I've learned to carry my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceanwench Posted March 15, 2007 #8 Share Posted March 15, 2007 DH and I stayed in it. We brought along a power strip/extension cord so we would have enough outlets. I recall only one outlet, as someone indicated, by the desk. While the room is considered an oceanview, there is a public staircase up against the window. It is seldom used, but we did see people pass by from time to time. It really obstructs any view from the room, and I think it should be designated an obstructed view room. It is very spacious. DH is in a powerchair, and he had ample room to maneuver in the cabin and in the bathroom. However, he found the fold-down seat in the shower to be too flimsy -- it nearly collapsed under him. [He is no lightweight!] They brought in a portable shower seat for him. I have some pictures of the room I could e-mail you when I have a chance.

LHC Posted March 15, 2007 Author #9 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Thanks for the information. I normally take a power strip but I would not have remember the extension cord (three prong) for his charging unit. Thanks for the update. LHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceanwench Posted March 16, 2007 #10 Share Posted March 16, 2007 One cool thing about the cabin's location -- there is a deck forward of it. You just go out the cabin door, hang a left and go around the corner. The deck is seldom used. I stood on it as we left port in St. Thomas, and what a view!!! We were maneuvering around the Norwegian Dawn [we were the middle of 3 ships docked at Havenight.] I got some great photos. Not another soul on that deck.

LHC Posted March 19, 2007 Author #11 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Thanks for the heads up....a deck to ourselves. Not bad. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceanwench Posted March 20, 2007 #12 Share Posted March 20, 2007 That small forward deck, however, is not handicap-accessible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHC Posted March 26, 2007 Author #13 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Maybe a quiet spot to start the day with God. As a full time caregiver and RN, I need the respite early each day. Thanks for the heads up about the spot. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
