We were on the Westerdam in a cruise to Hawaii and the Marquesas Islands. This was the first trip of this ship to that destination and begun in San Diego on Sept 29th, 2011.
What you are going to read here is just my personal opinion which, by the way, could be very different from others.
But if you are looking for some information, maybe this could be useful to know how things are in this ship and what you will find in those islands.
We got the #8117 on the Navigation Deck. Great location between the last set of elevators and the Aft. Very quiet with a nice balcony and bigger than the one we had in the Navigator of the Seas three years ago (particularly because of the washroom with a real bathtub).
Not bad but, for the money that we paid they could change the furniture. You will notice that the coach and the carpet are worn. Also, since they create a queen bed using 2 twins, only the sheet set was queen. Blankets are twin so they have to put them across and not in the normal way. Although I asked for a queen size, I never got it.
Regarding the storage capacity, we were a couple with two carryons and three luggagges and we had more than enough space to have everything well organized.
