Calling HA Koningdam Alaska Veterans
Doing the 12-Day Denali & Yukon Y4l with Holland America on Koningsdam in August 2027, headed south to disembark at Vancouver. I'm willing to pay the $250 for the Vista Suite aft room on the fourth deck if any of you experienced cruisers can vouch for it.
My research seems to indicate mixed views: Most everybody likes the panoramic view of aft cabins, and apparently aft gets extra time at Glacier bay as you depart slowly, but some feel like the fourth deck is too close to motors. AI even mentioned soot and dust can be an issue with aft deck on cruise liners? (I've never heard of that and don't trust AI 100% but maybe it's a thing????). My other choice is a portside room on the eighth deck(8106). Both are locked in for 3 days while I make up my mind and pay the deposit..
Thanks in advance!
