Riviera Penthouse Suites

[Moby Jones]

Hello all

Could you please advise me as to what the pros and cons of Penthouse Suites 7128 and 7133 are on the Riviera. 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Moby...in light of recent promotions, I have a hold on our first Oceania cruise.  I'm like a kid in a candy store whi is so excited to be researching for a cruise for a change.  Sorry I can't offer any cabin info. but I am following this thread with great interest.

 

Edit..the deck plan suggests they are larger, perhaps accessible staterooms?

they have a larger deck  than the regular PH

if you put those numbers in the search  there are several discussion

you may feel more vibration at the aft when docking  or when  cruising at  high speed

They are regular sized PH cabins but with larger (deeper) balconies than other PHs.

The 2 next to them, 7130 & 7135, are also PH but the cabins are smaller because they have huge wrap-around aft balconies.

17 days in 7128 on Marina and the larger balcony was fabulous. No cons as far as we were concerned.

Thanks for the replies.

Both were available for our sailing so I've booked them. 7130 and 7135 both look great but are unavailable otherwise I think I'd have booked those instead.

Having watched some excellent videos of the ship on youtube I'm also excited about sailing on Riviera! I'm particularly looking forward to the dining options. :)

We were in 7128 on the Marina on a 12 day BaltIc cruise in 2019, which was assigned to us in an upgrade.  The large balcony was great, but didn’t use it much due to the Baltic climate.  No complaints otherwise, we would select it again of available.

We are currently booked in 7128. for the 12/3/20 17 day sailing and looking forward to it.  A few years ago we were in 7130 on the Marina, a sister to Riviera, and loved that wraparound veranda.  Huge space.

 

Yes, the verandas toward the aft (starting somewhere around 7108 or there about) have twice the depth of any of the other verandas on these two ships.

 

Enjoy!

Cons:  engine vibration.  I cannot sit in the most aft part of the Grand Dining Room (on Deck 6) unless the ship is docked.

The only time I've been bothered by vibration is when the thrusters are on - basically early morning and early evening - when docking/anchoring and leaving ports.  Nor has my travel companion.
