352.0. "Quick Question RE: Room Selection" by BUFFER::EARLEY () Mon Mar 09 1992 18:33

    Hi,
    
    I am interested in learning whether one's room selection 
    (i.e. suite, state room, etc.) provides one with special
    amenities - that is, are there more privileges/amenities
    offered to one who books a suite v. a state room.....or
    is it a case of just paying for a bit more space?
    
    ....I am particularly interested with regard to the 
    Holland America line...
    
    Any insight is appreciated.
    
    Thanks.

352.1	Selections make no difference	BSS::WALTERS	`Mon Mar 16 1992 10:25`	18
	Hi, I've cruised with NCL a couple of times. The room category does not give any special privileges. You get the same services, same shows, no special treatment for seating. We've always went the cheapest we could because all we did in the stateroom was sleep. Also, we had been told by seasoned travelers that the rooms located on the lowest desks toward the center of the ship were the most stable during choppy seas. We've always been happy with our room selections and have always been treated like royalty. Hope this helps, Kitty
352.2	Holland American Cabins	WMOIS::BARDSLEY	`Mon Mar 16 1992 11:30`	13
	Hi, I have traveled on Holland Ameriacan cruise lines on 3 different trips. I have stayed in 3 different areas of the ship and I can tell you that you get the same privileges regardless of the price you have paid. I think you would make a excellent choice in picking Holland American. They are the best!!!! My next cruise will probable be in about 11/2 years from now and I know that I will book the lowest price cabin because the service is the same. Have a great time. P.S. I have been on 7 cruises in all and I always will book the value season and lowest cabin. Belive me you won't sleep much, to much to see and do. Cruising is the best vacation I have ever done.
