There is a hair dryer, and it is a pretty good one. But I am happy to report - at least in our cabins - the lift-up desk drawer has been removed. I say happy because I continually had to move items on the desk to get to it. In our cabin the hair dryer was in a drawer in the small closet below the safe.  The built in table now has a regular thin desk drawer.

It's funny, because I don't remember a lift-up desk drawer in the desk on Oceania ships.  But we usually get an inside cabin, and maybe they had different desks.  In any case, I found the desks on Viking Ocean to be partly-annoying in that respect, as you had to keep part of the desk top clear so you could open the drawer to reveal the thin desk drawer below.  But I loved the same desk because it had a number of partitioned cubbyholes, rather than being a wide open drawer.  I liked being able to put little things there like camera memory cards, thumb drives, and earrings without having to worry about them getting lost in the drawer.   I suppose some people also liked the fact that there was a makeup mirror underneath the lift-up drawer, but I never used it.

I have never seen a lift up desk drawer  what cabin cat were you in?

Never had to clear the desk to get into the drawer on Insignia or Regatta ...maybe I just missed that option

How interesting. We have been in PH on both O and R ships. It was one of the first things I commented on when we saw our refurbished room on the Regatta this month. That and the shower door! No wait...and the plugs. Judging from Roothy's post, I guess some people liked it very much and will miss it. It was quite deep. I guess that means I just placed too many things on top of the table so it was annoying for me to remove them to get to the pop up drawer.

Well no wonder I have never seen it  we stay in the cheap seats 🙂

We usually  get Cat A-C   & the desks  did not have a lift up top

good to know

Lyn, we have been PH and even above the past few years ... if the desk in our cabins had a lift-up top I was never aware!  Since I put my personal laptop on top of the desk I definitely wouldn't have been happy to have to lift everything up to access the desk below!

 

Of course, I never did need to check that because I used the other drawers ...

 

Very curious.
