1003 – Zuiderdam

This is a typical ocean view cabin EXCEPT it has two support pillars that impact the cabin. The same is true of cabins 1001-1008. As you can see to the left of the bed, the wall juts out making the passage by it even narrower than usual. I prefer to have the beds split, but one cannot go flush against the wall. As I was in this stateroom for nine weeks, I worked with the room stewards to spread the beds as much as possible.

The other pillar is by the door and cuts into the closet space. Also, the bathroom door only opens 90 degrees, so it can’t be open and be flat against the wall.

The cabinet to the right of the desk is deep and has a horizontal shelf diving it into two spaces. Behind the door to the left of the desk is the cooler.

If I recall correctly there were no power outlets of any type by the beds.
