rsverdier Posted August 19, 2022 #952 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Are the stateroom layouts always the same? In May, I was onboard the Onward, where we had a veranda stateroom, with a layout that had the bed near the bathroom and the couch near the balcony. Are all Azamara veranda staterooms like that, or do they alternate the position of the bed and the couch, like Celebrity does - so with the couch near the bathroom and the bed near the balcony?

In our experience at least the verandah staterooms all have the same layout. I appreciate that Marinaro confirms that in a reply that he posted as I was typing. So, unlike on Celebrity, you don’t have to consider that factor when selecting. Certainly we have done so. The only stateroom issues that are notable are the presence of a bath/shower combo in a Club Continent Suite or the possibility of noise issues. The former is addressed on the Azamara website, and the latter on the pinned discussion about staterooms near the top of this forum. Good luck!

It's no show stopper, but I would prefer the bed to be closer to the balcony (and the couch near the bathroom), since in that case you have more room to dress when you get out of the bathroom. On a Celebrity ship, we'd specifically try to book a stateroom with that layout. Edited August 19, 2022 by rsverdier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, I prefer the sitting area next to balcony so that I can easily move around the leisure area without having to squeeze past the bed. As other posts described, bigger ships alternately swap the bed and sitting area, so you can choose your preference if you have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, if I have to choose between an ocean view with a preferred layout, or a veranda with a less suitable layout, I think the balcony weighs heavier in that equation 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Vineyard View Posted August 23, 2022 #962 Share Posted August 23, 2022 We are looking at a B2B on Journey next April. Unfortunately we would need to change staterooms between. On the intensive Italy leg there isn’t much left. 8065-69, and 8068-70. On the spreadsheet there seem to be noise issues reported in 8069 both morning and night, so assuming the other two would have the same. A little concerned about movement in the last two (68-70) but it may not be that much difference from the others available? Any thoughts around choices? Also. Which cabins have showers vs tubs? I know I read that somewhere a while back, but I cannot locate it, so in advance I apologize for asking. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you 8065 and 8069 both have tub/shower comb.. 8068-70 is a large shower I was in 8065 last fall and did not have a problem. Everyone tolerates noise differently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last leg didn't have the same cabin available, but I called Azamara and waitlisted it and it cleared a few months later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJCM Posted October 12, 2022 #967 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Just finished- stayed in 8049. A drawback to be aware of is that the balcony gets a good drenching at least every couple of days. I think it’s because they wash down the outside of the windows on the pool deck (so it probably happens on port side too) but it may be due to the washing of deck 9 and they just have a run off outlet above 8049. The cause isn’t really relevant. Consequently, our suite balcony would be hosed down later in the morning on those days. 8053 seemed to get the same drenching. It made the balcony fairly unusable until the suite hose down had dried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blag Posted October 12, 2022 #968 Share Posted October 12, 2022 We were on Pursuit in 8049 in August (Baltic 12 days), and did not encounter this issue. In fact, we always take a suite in more-or-less the same location, and have not experienced any drenching of the balcony, although it must be said that we don't use the balcony very much.

Rare uktog Posted October 12, 2022 Author #969 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Every balcony gets a drenching on a port day at least once a cruise, twice on longer trips. You should get a note in your room the night before although last cruise we did not (we did this one). However that would be down to our steward who has since been transferred off the ship. He had significant training needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blag Posted October 12, 2022 #970 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Now that I think about it - prompted by uktog's post - there was one day, pre-notified, when we were not on board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ithikan Posted October 22, 2022 #973 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Unhappily, I cannot access the latest spreadsheet on Journey's cabins - aka staterooms, ; ). Does anyone have thoughts on the forward deck 6 cabins, specifically 6020 and forward? We are concerned about possible noise from Cabaret on deck 5 and are hoping for particulars from those who have sailed in those cabins. The deck 6 alternatives for that cruise are portside aft and would put us, I believe, above the kitchens. Thank you in advance for any and all input!

Grandma Cruising Posted October 22, 2022 #974 Share Posted October 22, 2022 There is some noise in these cabins. We’ve had 6004 which is one of the two large OV cabins. The noise was mainly noticeable during the day when there were rehearsals. At night we didn’t tend to go to bed until after the show had finished, so it didn’t bother us then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also some anchor noise and these cabins in the bow can get very rocky in rough seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
