New to Oceania

[Westiesheepie]

Have previously sailed Azamara and Seabourn and looking for a quick winter getaway on Riviera in the Caribbean to try Oceania. I have a choice between a veranda on Deck 7 or 8. Does it matter which deck? What about the aft cabins? Thanks!

All the  B cabins are the same size

there are some on deck 7 that have extended balconies on the O class ships  (Marina & Riviera)

All the food venues are available to all

It is  a personal choice if you like forward/aft or mid ship cabin locations

If a veranda we do prefer one of the aft DECK 7 cabins with the larger balcony's.   Front has more movement and there is a crew access that has a lot of traffic in the far DECK 7 forward port side.

You might study the deck plans for Riviera and take into account the price differences between the various types of verandas (A1-4 and B1-4).

 

Personally, I'd avoid rooms with adjoining doors and those cabins directly across from the elevators. See also rooms with or without the triple w/sofa bed.

 

IF, however, you did end up doing a Concierge Veranda (A1-4), note the Concierge Lounge on Riviera Deck 9 is forward, so if you plan on using it, being forward means a quicker trip from aft on that deck. The laundry facilities on decks 7 & 8 are forward, too.

That is  a moot point as there are NO Concierge cabins  on 7 & 8
