Lanai Staterooms on the Holland America Cruise

“There can be a  price DIFFERENCE of as little as $300 to as much as $1,000  between the CATEGORY OF CABINS.  It all depends on the sailing dates and cabin availability.” 

Exactly what are they? I see them as a hybrid choice. Not a PRIVATE BALCONY but much more value that an Ocean View cabin(see below) and a little less than a Verandah Suite (see below). Realizing that you get what you pay for,a Lanai stateroom will be Approximately 181–256 sq. ft and will be on the Lower Promenade Deck and Sliding glass doors will lead out onto the walk-around. There can be pricing from as little as $300 to as much as $1,000 difference between the categories. It all depends on the sailing dates and cabin availability.
