For JimandStan - and anyone else who cares to chip in

I tried for one of the Deck 11 Oceania Suites, but they had both gone :(

I therefore have 12008 on hold. Is the balcony big enough for a lounger, or just a couple of chairs?

There are Vista suites available, but I don't want the exercise room, and would have to pay an additional £2,000 ($3,000) - not sure it's worth it.

The deck 12 Oceania suites come with a lounge chair and 2 additional chairs.

Thank you! Guess hubby will have to do without :)

Two quick points:

1) The Exercise Rooms in the Vista Suites have been replaced (on both Marina AND Riviera) with extended Master bedroom Closets.

2) Although the Vista Suites are not for everyone, the forward facing views that they offer are something that you will remember for the rest of your cruising career.

Hi Jim and Stan,

Thanks - but I think your information may be inaccurate. My TA was onboard Riviera on Friday last week (in Southampton, UK) and sent me photos from both the Oceania Suite and the Vista Suite - and in the Vista Suite were both an exercise bike and treadmill...

Our Oceania Suite on the Riviera in July had two chairs on the terrace that were very comfortable.

LOL, Sorry about that, I only tell you guys what THEY tell me. I thought that my source was reliable.

Jim I thought the same thing that they had been removed but maybe on the R-ships only :confused:

Hehe, thanks for trying to help. If they are thinking of getting rid of the gym equipment, it would get my vote. I think having a private gym is a good idea, but no point if there's only an exercise bike and treadmill as we'd have to go to the gym for upper body in any case. Those views are to die for though..

Thanks. And did you love the suite generally? Not sure I can justify the additional cost of the Vista suite, even though those views are gorgeous.

There was never any gym equipment in the Vista Suites on the R class ships. No room for anything else. The Vista Suites were not that big.

I agree. Also remember a post that the gym equipment was removed form the Vista suites on the new ships. Seemed like a very big waste of space in these cabins. But a big closet? How much clothes can one bring? Must be a better use of this space than that.

We were on Marina this summer in 12008. Fantastic suite. Our balcony had 2 chairs, side table, lounge chair, and hot tub.

Now that I am thinking a little more about this I seem to think that the Marina had some exercise equipment in the OS in the first few cabin plans. Did they take them out of there?

Yes, that was the confusion, the fitness rooms were removed from the Owners Suites on the Oceania Class ships. Vista Suites are retaining their fitness equipment, at present.

Sooner or later with a little help from our friends we get it right. Have a nice day. Richie :):)
