HAL'S NEW NOORAM

WE just got an e-mail from hal for transatlantic big band cruise,it is a
very good offer,but when we pulled up the cabins,they seem very
small,and on the inside,which we like,there is no way you could see
t.v.from lying on your bed.The cabins are not laid out nice at all,even
the suites do not have much leg room.No space to walk around in the
cabin,and it looks like 2 people could never get dressed together in the
same cabin at the same time.
Guess we will for-go the NOORDAM,not as nice as the old NOORDAM, that we
really liked.

I have friends booked on that cruise, Sep29 westbound, I believe, and
I've been considering it.

Pocomont, did you get the square footage of the cabins? Photos of cabins
can be very deceiving.

Cheers,
Daniel

It looks like the inside cabins on the noordam are 185 sq ft. That's
pretty big as far as inside cabins go.

Carnival's are considered "huge" at 195. I've seen more than a few
RCI in the 175 range. And smaller.

Of course, there's a difference between either of those two lines and
HAL. A little disappointing.

If carnivals cabins are considered huge,then someone is dreaming,we were
on the LIBERTY,and the cabins were pretty small,and the outside cabins
were not much larger.Thought the cabins on VEENDAM,And the old
NOORDAM,and old VOLENDAM were much larger than carnival.

according to Travelocity Carnival Libertys inside staterooms are 185 sq ft.
The Veendams inside cabins are listed as 182 sq. ft.
