Alan2504 Posted February 27, 2021 #26 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Since the OceaniaNEXT refurbishment of the R Class ( particularly the Sirena) What, if any changes, have been made to the layout of the cabins/bathrooms in the "standard" cabins ( i.e. below suite ) It's just I've read so many stories of the shower being too small etc etc and wonder if there has been any improvement in the layout Thanks for any input :0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video tour of Insignia B cabin Sirena would be the same except the 2 specialties are different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The layout is the same. They upgraded the bathrooms with shower doors versus a curtain, and the sink area was also upgraded to better materials. The toilet is still at the odd angle as that cannot be changed. NEXT mostly changed the colors of the ships with lighter colored furniture and fixtures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We found an interesting itinerary which we like but I'm concerned about how practical the bathroom would be for me (6' 4" and not exactly a "bean pole" 🙃 ) ? We maybe have to re-think and re-plan ?

106f Posted February 27, 2021 #31 Share Posted February 27, 2021 You've got time to stuff the piggy bank and book a PH. You won't regret it. The shower is probably three times as large. Other advantages of course but we loved the shower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again for the help ! Those Sirena you tube cabin tours are being done by a guy who is 6'6" so that should give you an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICT Lineman was the one who posted but thank you. I am on Sirena on Dec 1st and have poured over them several times. I usually cruise on Riviera or Marina but have been on Insignia and Regatta. Think it is really nice to get a dedicated Red Ginger on Sirena. Those washrooms on o/v, balcony and Concierge are small. Like someone else said, if you can splurge for a ph, they are a really nice cabin size with a decent sized bathroom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are trying for a third time to sail on Sirena next fall - she is the one with the itin that we want. We have only sailed on Marina and would have stuck with the O class ships if they offered where we want to go. I will miss La Reserve very much. I knew from seeing John's videos listed above that I could not cope with the tiny shower, so we knew it was a PH or nothing. You touched on the other thing that convinced us to try the smaller ship and that is the addition of Red Ginger on Sirena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You touched on the other thing that convinced us to try the smaller ship and that is the addition of Red Ginger on Sirena. I love O class and will miss La Reserve and Jacques but there are a few other things that are very nice on the R ships. Having sailed HAL before I converted to O class, one thing I did miss was the wraparound promenade that HAL ships have. Sirena doesn't have full wraparound but they do have outdoor promenade on either side of the ship. Also, because they don't have 4 specialty restaurants, Privee and La Reserve like the O class, the main dining room menu has selections every night from the specialties. On the O class I have had some cruises where I never went to the main dining room but really enjoyed the main dr on the small ships. One other point- I couldn't figure why everyone loved the miso sea bass. I had tried it on Riviera and didn't care for it. It was offered on Insignia one night and we ordered it as a side dinner- I loved it so now I will order it on O class. And another point. The ph cabin is a fairly square cabin and I think layout is nicer than O ph. Bathroom win goes to O class bathrooms in any category. Just my 2 cents😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if a 6' 6'' cruise salesman can sneak in to the shower I should give it a try 🙄 managed to find an aft veranda stateroom on deck 6 so with that wee bit of extra space an al fresco rain shower could be an option 🤣🤣🤣 if all else fails !

Congratulations. Those cabins used to be balcony cabins and then became Concierge cabins because they were and still are so popular. Love looking at the wake.
