Our first sailing with Holland was on Koningsdam in a Vista Suite. We found it a bit cramped with 3 women sharing and upgraded to a Signature Suite on our next cruise on the Zuiderdam and found that to be lovely and perfect for 3.  Once Covid hit and the no sail order was in place we had to rebook our 2020 cruise 4 times. I wanted to treat my mom and sister to an upgraded cabin and our cruise consultant Mitch Henderson recommended this cabin as an upgrade.  I tell you we were not disappointed.  This cabin had everything – lots of storage, wonderful wrap around balcony, and plenty of room.  The couch which turns into the third bed was extremely comfortable and we just had our Room Steward leave it open all week.

It is a bit of a walk to the Neptune Lounge but did not find that much of an issue.   We usually booked in mid ship and was concerned about the additional movement in the back of the ship.  You do feel the ships movement much more back here but it was only an issue the first night as the sea was a bit rough.   The rest of the evenings were fine but if motion bothers you, this may not be the cabin for you.  We were traveling with more family who booked the veranda cabins right next to us and we were able to open the balcony dividers and have basically a huge balcony to share.   We were so impressed with this cabin I immediately upgraded our cabin on our next booking in 2022 from a signature suite to a B aft wrap on the Eurodam which is a sister ship to this one.

The balcony was huge, we all think bigger than the one we had on the Eurodam. Would book it again in a heartbeat.
