2kiwis Posted January 8, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted January 8, 2013 How is it possible to even consider a cruise without first digesting the brochure?:eek::eek: We are long time Oceania Cruisers (10 X 25 day+ cruises) but this is our first cruise on Marina, and as stated in the earlier email the plans we have here didn't show the laundry.

Paulchili Posted January 9, 2013 #6 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Here is the website for Marina's deck plans (from the Oceania official website): http://www.oceaniacruises.com/documents/deck-plans/Deck-Plans_O-Class.pdf The laundry rooms are clearly indicated by "the hanger" Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babysteps Posted January 9, 2013 #8 Share Posted January 9, 2013 FYI, the location of the laundry on Riviera may differ slightly from those shown on the O-class deck plans. When we had the pleasure of sailing on Riviera last year I noticed that the laundry on our deck was not exactly where the deck plan said it was (hm, this may suggest that I could spend *less* attention to the deck plans?). On Riviera, all the laundries have their doors on the port corridor - left as you face the front of the ship, or the one with even numbered cabins/suites. The laundries are more parallel to the corridor (rather than going all the way across). Here's what I wrote down at the time: Riviera Deck 7, the laundry room door is at cabins 7030/7032 (slightly astern of the deck plan location) Riviera Deck 8, the laundry room door is at cabins 8032/8034 (barely forward of the deck plan location) Riviera Deck 9, the laundry room door is between the doors to cabins 9030/9032 (slightly astern of the deck plan location) Riviera Deck 10, the laundry room door is between the doors to cabins 10018/10020 (as shown on the deck plan) Riviera Deck 11, the laundry room door is across from cabin 11000 (as shown on the deck plan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously did not notice I finished up my comment to baby steps with a ;) and a :).

Also, my grandfather was an engineer in the Navy... And I did a report in 6th grade about being a travel agent, mostly because I found a deck plan that fascinated me - guess some things never change!

2kiwis Posted January 10, 2013 Author #14 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Having started this post I must say I was a little taken back by some of the comments I received. A long time user of cruise critic I have generally found everyone to be very helpful and pleasant. Even when information is readily available to some, that doesn't mean it is necessarily available to all. Surely one of the main reasons for this board is to be able to ask and receive information in a friendly and safe environment. Users of the boards, particularly new users, will be reluctant to ask questions if they receive sarcastic and unhelpful comments, which defeats the whole purpose of cruise critic. Again, thank you very much to those who provided the information. Happy cruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ronrick1943 Posted January 10, 2013 #15 Share Posted January 10, 2013 You know why waste time in a laundry room, let your cabin person take care of it. It's not that costly and they do a great job. Enjoy the time you have, vacation like a pro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this may help. :) Thanks :) I hope it will be better on Marina as it has laundries on each floor and I suspect they will be better air conditioned/quieter etc. The smaller R ships only have one laundry for the whole ship and the laundry was so hot all the time people kept the door wedged open. I guess I am more concerned about it because I had friends who were opposite the laundry and they got really fed up with the noise and congestion When you are on longer cruises (we tend to only do 30+ days) I think it is important to make sure you have a stateroom you are comfortable in as it is a long time if you are not.

Cheers. I never really noticed it being hot but I do not spend much time in the laundry room I usually put the load in go off & do something until a few minutes before the time should be up on the machine then go in put the stuff in the dryer & off I go Timing is everything.... sometimes it can be busier than others ..I just go back at another time if the machines are all full I am sure it will be fine & if you do want to sit in the room they have a T.V. to entertain you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted January 11, 2013 #23 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I guess I am more concerned about it because I had friends who were opposite the laundry and they got really fed up with the noise and congestion. That's interesting, because our first Renaissance cruise was directly the laundry on Regatta (then the R2) and we liked the location so much that we booked it again later. Back then we were never bothered with noise and congestion, and we couldn't hear a thing inside our room even when people WERE crowded in the hall (and that was only one time). But Renaissance and Oceania may have the same ships, but they weren't the same cruise lines. Mura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
