JimandStan Posted November 21, 2012 #1 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Seatrade Insider is reporting this morning that the new Royal Princess (debuting in June) will offer Private Cabanas on the forward end of the top deck. Where have we seen this before? :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacheco18 Posted November 21, 2012 #2 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Not to burst your bubble, but Celebrity has had private cabanas for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tansy Mews Posted November 21, 2012 #3 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Seatrade Insider is reporting this morning that the new Royal Princess (debuting in June) will offer Private Cabanas on the forward end of the top deck. Where have we seen this before? :cool: Are the cabanas only on the Regatta? I couldn't find any when clicking through the website. I did find this for the Regatta, one specific cruise, for the Regatta. The info is under Options. Not available for the other five itineraries I checked. http://www.oceaniacruises.com/findcruise/southamerica/reg130306/options/cabanas.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy The Wanderer Posted November 21, 2012 #6 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I, for one, am glad there are no cabanas on Riviera. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people say that........until they book one for themselves! We thought that they were fabulous, and (secretly) still hope that Oceania may add them to the larger ships, perhaps on deck 14 Sundeck, around the perimeter of the pool cut out. That walkway is ridiculously wide, and those walking it would still have a lovely sea view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PS Caledonia Posted November 22, 2012 #8 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Just curious, but would it not look a bit "cluttered"? Is there any other location they could be placed? p.s. Thanks for the great picture of the Pool Deck, shame the upper level doesn't have wooden decking. I know it would get slippery when wet.... :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambagahle Posted November 22, 2012 #9 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Putting green looks wonderful to me! I can see my handicap dropping after the cruise!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With respect to my friend Jim, who loves the cabanas, putting them on the upper pool deck would be one of the worst places I could think of -- that's got to be the most popular spot for viewing arrivals and departures!

Which is why I proposed putting the cabanas where they would overlook the pool, leaving the outside perimeter available as an observation deck. That's what Hapag Lloyd is doing with the pool deck on Europa 2 (which is replacing Insignia in their fleet), although she will be a much smaller ship than Marina or Riviera.

Oh let's not give O any ideas They could always put them on the spa deck & get rid of those lounges with the sun shades;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
