Cabin Choices Riviera

[cjwags]

We recently booked a 2024 voyage on Riviera in Japan!  We are currently booked in 7108 and 7110, (traveling with friends) thanks to many of you here who spoke highly of the extended balcony and "two sided" one in 7108.  It was the last of the four with this configuration available.  Thanks to those who posted pictures.  Really helpful.  

Now comes my question... should I be worried about noise coming from the dining room or casino as they are directly below on deck six?  We could upgrade to deck eight, but wouldn't have larger balcony.

Would appreciate any insight you experts might have. 🙂

Yes, you are correct.

We have been delighted with thes extended balconies, our favourite area! No noise from dining room or casino at all. Enjoy!

They would have to be some pretty noisy diners for you to hear them

We have  been in 7114   not  a peep from below  😉

I'm booked for 7112, but not until 2025. I chose it because it was over dining room and NOT casino. Then I noticed on the deck plan that the balcony appeared to be a bit larger. Sounds like that may be true.

 

On a related note: anyone have any experience in a cabin with a connecting door? I'm booked on one (on Vista) for next year. Any noise issues in Oceania connecting cabins?

Lucky you. I love the extended verandas.  They usually get booked quickly.

How much larger are the extended verandas?

I think they are about 12' x8'  compared to maybe 5' x 8'

you can fit 2 loungers & 2 chairs on them but the regular ones have 2 chairs 

You are overlooked from those above

But they do cost more than a standard deck 7 veranda.

They are B3's and cost the same as other B3 cabins without the extended balcony.

Exactly.

Not true

[PelicanLvr]

I believe all the aft extended balcony B3s are aft of the aft elevators...... all above the dining room.

 

The casino seems quite a bit forward of that location on deck 5.

 

Don't see the casino as a real issue for these cabins.

The extended balcony cabins on deck 7 are a B3 and that tend to run$100 more than a B2, the cheapest deck 7 balcony cabins, depending on sail date.

Let me get this straight. Are you saying that B3 cabins are more expensive than B2 cabins for the same cruise? Must be Marina or Riviera to be extended balcony.

 

Proof please - naming the cruise will be sufficient. Don’t just disappear now.

Miami- Barcelona April 6, 2023 on Marina

B4 veranda $3499

B3 veranda $3549

 

Tromso -Reykjavik Aug. 7, 2023 on Marina

B4 $6199

B3 $6299

 

The B3 extended balcony cabins cost $100 more than the cheapest balcony cabin, a B4.

You said B2 above, not B4. That's what the question was about.

Not what you said Susie. And it is the category that is more expensive, not the balcony.
 

All B3 cost more than B4

All B2 cost more than B3

etc.

Typo. I meant to say B4 are the cheapest, not B2. The color difference between the B's is very hard to discern on the O web site. I'm sure you know what I was trying to say. Sheesh.

The problem is many people reading this would not know that you misspoke or mistyped and could have simply assumed that you knew what you were talking about and been misinformed, miss.

Well it's too late to go back and edit. We are all nitpicking here. Besides, almost everyone posting regularly here has been on O before and knows what is what. And few posters here book veranda cabins anyways so this issue won't concern or affect them.

You do understand that the vast majority who reads these threads don't post on them?  There have been 1200 looks at this thread and 23 posts.   Just take the L and stop digging the hole deeper.
