Review for Transatlantic Cruise on Eurodam

Eurodam – April 5 – 19, 2015 – Fort Lauderdale to Barcelona

The Cruise

The original and valid rationale for this cruise was the itinerary, the land venues and six sea days. We are experienced cruisers. This was our 32d ocean trip in addition to 3 river cruises. I am a retired city government attorney and Edith is a totally unretired homemaker, with a career in respiratory therapy and home health care management. We had done a Transatlantic on Eurodam in 2011 from London to New York, and while HAL is not our favorite cruise line, we do believe they offer a very decent selection of itineraries.

Cabin Review

Neptune Deluxe Veranda Suite

Cabin SB

Our Stateroom

We had booked what HAL calls a “Signature Suite”, in this case Stateroom No. 6076. These are basically large sized verandah accommodations, with the room being about 305 square feet. This allows a bathroom with double washbasins, a full size tub/shower and a free standing shower. It also provides room for three closets and enough drawer space for almost any amount of clothing possibly needed. The room also had a full size leather couch, which could be converted into a bed. There is a desk near the bed which also had a small window to the verandah. A dressing table had a lighted, magnifying cosmetic/shaving mirror. A fairly large coffee table was provided as well as three arm chairs and a seating hassock for the dressing table. A full length mirror was located next to the bathroom entrance as well as a large wall mirror bedside, and at the dressing table of course. HAL likes dark brown as a proper serious shipboard color, so that marked the woodwork in the cabin. The wall areas were a nice soft cream color. The lighting system took a learning curve to master, but actually worked well. The verandah had two lounge chairs with nice pads and footstools, as well as a small side table and two side chairs. The TV was good sized and could be rotated a little so as to be visible from one of the arm chairs next to the coffee table. The closet had a safe, of course.

Altogether, this was a very nice cabin, providing room enough to move around easily with a minimum collision factor, and more than enough space in the room and bathroom for all we brought aboard.
