I would book a private pick up for the time you want
We used https://www.taxischiphol.nl/en/index.html
We had gotten a group together from the roll call
Yes they are deck 9 aft & look like extended balconies
there is also the extended balconies like on the O class ships in Concierge class

There are bar menus in this thread with prices
if you have a beverage package the Gratuity is included
single purchases have the 20% added

I just book what ever nights that are available for the time slots we want for the Specialties
Then the GDR for other nights
Sometimes you will see some offerings again on the GDR menu during the cruise if not it is another reason to book another cruise 😉
Enjoy the cruise
Aquamar on Vista have it listed

Or they will move someone there & you may end up in a C
It does not have to show available for you to be moved
Chances of moving from an inside to Concierge is slim on a full ship but you never know
Happy sailing
I do not book ships tours
I used to ask what the Oceania exchange rate was when booking but they seem to be close to bank rates so just book in CAD now & not worry about buying USD to pay my USD VISA card
I was actually trying to give HARTERS some suggestions on how to see the USD pricing for tours 😉
We have flown on Rouge in the Premium seats yes they are very similar to the BIZ class on regular AC flights to the USA
having the lounge access is also good
never needed a closet so cannot comment
We are south of London & was going to park at London airport & fly from there then AC messed our flights around
Thought of still parking there & taking a taxi to the VIA train station then from Toronto taking the UP train to Pearson
after all that decided just drive to YYZ & park at the Value Garage take the LINK train to the Terminal less that 5 mins away
No waiting for shuttles no leaving the key with anyone etc
It is pricey at the end of the day it is part of the vacation
Then we have to drive home so the less complications the better
Sometimes it is convenience over cost 😄
