Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Thank you. How I missed that, I have no clue
  2. Thank you. I’m well aware of that as I’ve cruised that area several times. For brevity, I refer to Beijing as I’d like to go again. Only Viking has an itinerary. To include Beijing. I’m asking if there is a reason no other line includes Beijing.
  3. It seems there are no cruises including Beijing. Any comments ?
  4. Appreciate your time answering my question so thoroughly. Again thank you
  5. My bad. Of course. I must be losing it. So as a triple, any more crowded than non triple? The square footage shows the same. 216. I used to do PH and changed to Concierge after my husband passed away, so just that change reduced my living space. Hate to get any smaller🫣 appreciate your correction.
  6. Nautica. I was in a starboard side room and wanted port (due to the itinerary). They moved me to a room across from the laundry (which I don’t mind-convenient 😁). It is indicated a quad .
  7. Although I’ve been on Oceania over 20 times, I’ve never had a room that indicated that it accommodated 4 people. Does anyone know if the A1, A2 or 3 that are quads have more crowded space than the average A1, A2, orA3?
  8. Tell me your feeling about the Song, on which I will be on June 11
  9. I wanted to comment on room choice. My late husband And I went to the Antarctic, as well as the Arctic, and we had a room with a balcony. That was the greatest choice we could’ve made. Standing on the veranda isn’t as cold as you might think it is. We did stand up against the windows on some days but it makes such a difference to feel it live as opposed to looking through a window.
  10. Feelings about bow staterooms on O ships.
  11. Interesting input. Thanks folks. This is on the new Vista ship. I was originally booked in a new solo stateroom but the inaugural was cancelled, and I was put on a waitlist thus the assignment to 8001 for the TA. I’d not thought of the light issue . I ALWAYS Sleep with my drapes open. Don’t like missing anything 🤩
  12. Interesting. Most seem to have experienced seasickness. That I don’t have, at least so far. My issue is I have trigeminal neuralgia, and wind sets it off. Can the verandah be used during sea days? I was lucky to have gotten a booking in the new single for the inaugural; however that cruise was cancelled. I was on a wait list and I learned with an assignment to 8001. I had a choice on a port side, but I was told those bow staterooms are coveted. Since I’ve never had a bow staterooms in my cruise history, I have nothing to base my assignment on.
  13. Thanks LHT28. Don’t have an issue with sea sickness, fortunately. I’ve heard pros and cons, more about verandah use while ship is moving.
  14. Comments on bow staterooms please. my late husband and I always booked 8001, 8003, or 8005 and they were perfect. We stopped when the smoking area was changed to starboard and we could smell it. We then went to concierge as we really didn’t need a butler.
  15. Can someone please shed some light on the Oceania bow staterooms, size compared to side concierge rooms, comfort, ability to use verandah, general overall comments and opinions. Would you believe I’ve over 126 cruises in my lifetime and none have been at the bow. I’d really appreciate your input. Thanks
