Marina Refurbishment April 2024…..hopefully

[the more ports the better]

I am just off Riveria this morning and I booked a sailing and also purchased a few future cruise certificates onboard yesterday for the upcoming April itinerary release.  The O booking advisor said that the new Marina refurbishment date is set for April 2024.  I did not ask anyone else but she was fairly adamant that it was a done deal.

 

Has anyone else heard from an O rep that the refurb is scheduled???

I think it  is May  as per

We're on this same cruise June 1 -13. Now I'm nervous about whether it will be completed for our cruise.🙏🙏

The updated schedule shows a sailing ending on April 29 in Venice and the next one boards on June 1 in Rome.  I guess that answers the question.

Great news for us, we are booked for a March 2025 South America cruise and had hoped the ship would be refurbished.

Does anyone know if the forward concierge cabins on deck 9 will keep the tubs?🤞

Who knows, I heard that they are doing away with the tubs, but until the refurb happens not sure what is true. We have a March 2025 Marina cruise in a mid-forward Concierge class cabin.

We got the following from O on the Riviera refurb because we have a booked cruise in 2024 on Riviera. Can't guarantee Marina will be the same, but they are alike. 😉

 

Recently, Oceania Cruises unveiled its plans to re-inspire Riviera by dramatically upgrading all of her guest accommodations and public spaces. All guest accommodations will be completely transformed and outfitted with all new furniture and furnishings, wall coverings, upholstery, lighting, technology, additional storage space, and new bathrooms.

Based on feedback from guests, one of the major upgrades to the accommodations is that bathrooms in all category C Oceanview Staterooms, all category B1, B2, and B3 Veranda Staterooms, all category A1, A2, and A3 Concierge Level Veranda Staterooms, and all category PH1 and PH2 Penthouse Suites will now feature an oversized, walk-in shower. The dramatically more spacious and functional walk-in shower was made possible by removing the under-utilized separate bathtub and small shower stall.

These changes will take effect with the sailing beginning on December 7, 2022.

The current bathtub and shower combination bathroom configuration will remain in place in category B4 Veranda Staterooms, category A4 Concierge Veranda Staterooms, and select category PH3 Penthouse Suites. Details on those specific accommodations are detailed below.

The Oceania, Vista, and Owner’s Suites will all retain their current shower and bathtub, albeit in spectacularly re-inspired bathrooms.

Penthouse Suites and Staterooms with the bathtub and shower:

PH3: 9138, 9145, 10002, 10003, 10004, 10005, 10008, 10009, 10010, 10011

A4: 9002, 9003, 9004, 9005, 9006, 9007, 9008, 9009, 9010, 9011, 9012, 9019, 9126, 9128, 9130, 9132, 9133, 9134, 9135, 9136, 9137, 9139, 9141, 9143

B4: 7010, 7011, 7012, 7014, 7015, 7016, 7017, 7018, 7019, 7020, 7021, 7022, 7023, 7024, 7025, 7026, 7027, 7028, 7029, 7031, 7102, 7104, 7105, 7106, 7107, 7109

 

Check the Deck Plans on the O website to see where these are.

We booked an A4 on Marina while sailing on Riviera last fall, then the next day we received the following email regarding planned bathroom layout changes to Marina in upcoming upgrade.  The original date has been changed but I’m guessing the stateroom #s are the same for planned changes.  We prefer a walk-in shower so upgraded to an A3….

 

“These changes will debut with Marina’s November 13, 2023, sailing.  

 

The current bathtub and shower combination bathroom configuration will remain in place in category B4 Veranda Staterooms, category A4 Concierge Level Veranda Staterooms, and select category PH3 Penthouse Suites. Details on those specific accommodations are listed below.

Should you desire a suite or stateroom with the bathtub and shower combination, or if you are currently booked in one of the suites or staterooms listed above and prefer one of the new shower-only bathrooms, please contact your Travel Advisor or Oceania Cruises to request a change. 

 

Thank you for taking note of this important change. We look forward to welcoming you aboard the better-than-new and dramatically re-inspired Marina.”

We just booked a cruise on Marina for July 2024. TA informed us Marina is having a  refurb done starting end of April 2024.
