Riviera. Best veranda staterooms and which to avoid

[cruisinsince75]

We are considering doing our first Oceania and about to book. Looking at B4 on deck 7 aft near elevators, but appears the lifeboats will hinder views? Is that correct?

 

Also looks like B3 cabins on deck 7 aft have deeper balconies. Are these good or should they be avoided? Any suggestions? Thanks!

We were n room 7108 last year on riveria and have booked room 7108 for marina next year for 17 days out of London in June. Great room for a B3. Extended balcony is wonderful and you can ask pre boarding for two loungers to be added to the table and chairs. Plenty of room. Open to decks above as they are shorter and plenty of envious looks from above. Would highly recommend Lv having cocktails or wine on deck pre dinner and stargazing after dinner with a loved one

In my experience, the best value, space and experience/view is 7008... one of the largest verandas and maybe the best vista on the ship.... when you can put 2 loungers and 2 chairs and a table on the veranda and still have room thats huge....its also one of the best wind sheltered cabins and one of the few that comes all the way out to the hull edge.... ( all the others PH included stop 10-15 feet from the hull edge a big set back)

Does the request for loungers have to be pre-boarding?

[Rrehfe4969@aol.com]

Do not think so however travel agent asked for them a few weeks out because they are limited numbers of loungers and she wanted to make sure we had them reserved. Also had friends next door so we asked the steward to remove a panel on divider so we could move about on both balconies. Took them less than 10 minutes to do and it was great.

In case it ever comes up again in conversation, those panels are not removed.

 

The moveable section is hinged, so the Steward unlocks it and folds it back against the stationary section.

You are exactly correct.

WE are at the moment in 7009 and it is perfect! On the veradah there are two comfotable loungers, two chairs an a small table and there is even enough room between.

I would book this stateroom again.
