[

[

[
A good sized room with ample closet and drawer space. Bow location, very close to elevators and stair case and to Deck A, used for disembarkation in ports etc. Can be noisy with strange sounds below; sounded like a door opening/closing at night time (it was very rocky that night) Rest of the voyage we had no noise. We liked the location.

E 1872 Large Ocean View Stateroom Deck 1 Dolphin Deck
[

[
These are pictures of E 1871 and E 1872 on the Rotterdam . The rooms are identical – just on opposite sides of the ship. They are mid-ship and on the Dolphin Deck (bottom deck). The cabins were approximately 190 sq. ft. and are Oceanview (category E). They are roomy with lots of closet space. The bathroom had a bathtub/shower combination. The bathtub was quite small – not for tall people. 1872 is a connecting room – could hear some noise through the connecting door and also, if smokers are in the connecting room, you will certainly smell the smoke through the connecting door. These are quiet rooms with nothing above or below to bother you.

S 7034 Deluxe Verandah Suite Stateroom Deck 7 - Navigation Deck
[

[

[
7034 on the Rotterdam was great. It is the only suite on that deck with a shower only (no tub) but this was not a disadvantage since I am partially handicapped and a walk-in shower is ideal. I haven't figured out why they didn't put a tub in this one cabin but there must have been a reason. The large balcony had two recliners and a table and four chairs and we spent a lot of time there. We had it on the Black Sea, Israel, Egypt run in October 08. We got this as an upgrade from a B so we were more than content.

I took these pictures of the “refurbished” Rotterdam January 4, 2010. It is cabin 7059, which is the last cabin aft on the starboard side. It should be noted that this is one of the new cabins, added at drydock (December 2009.) We had lots of problems with this cabin, mostly plumbing issues, which hopefully have resolved.
