oceana cabins

[yorkshire lad 7]

just booked our first trip on the oceana and would like some info on cabin facilities, hangers & closet space in the inside cabins

[stopgo]

There are plenty of hangers and closet space, any more details are on the P/O website.

hi yorkshire lad 7 weve been on oceana 4 times now and always stay in an inside cabin,the wardrobe is big enough for two people,there are plenty of hangers,but they are on fixed loops so when you remove them from the wardrobe you cant then hang it back up unless you put it back in.there are a couple of fold down shelves in the wardrobe,and three wire basket drawers.there are two bedside tables in between the beds each with three drawers.there is a dressing table with six drawers,and a large mirror above.this is where you will find the tea and coffee making facilities.hope this helps happy sailings and enjoy oceana she is a lovely ship to be your first..humpy

Oceana does not have the best storage facilities in cabins but they are OK.

 

The reason the space is limited is because of the previous use of the ship by Princess. US cruises tend to be shorter than the 2 weeks we seem to take, therefore US passengers did not need as much storage space.

 

We managed on a 2 week cruise, but you will need to take extra hangers or ask your steward for some (they only provide wire hangers though).

Just a quick tip take an extra jacket with big pockets, then you can use the said pockets to put your socks in. Thus saveing bedside table space.

Again its what I do, anything to save space in an inside cabin.

Have you escaped from somewhere?

Your off topic again Gerry, the topic is space in Oceana cabins.

But surely the big jacket takes up more space in your lockers/cabin?

[stopgo]

Depends how big the wearer is if they are a tich like me it won't take up much room.

We did 12 nights on Oceana, the two of us and a baby (with all of the gubbins, including food and bottled water!) in an inside cabin. We had room to spare..:) (although to be fair the buggy stayed outside the cabin)

Im just about to book a balcony cabin on Oceana. A review l read said the balcony cabins are smaller thn an OV becuase the balcony eats into the cabin space. According to the P&O brochure though balcony cabins are larger.

 

Any help

I don't have my brochure to hand so I can't comment on the general statement. However, there are a few outside cabins forward on one of the decks that mainly has balcony cabins, that are the length of balcony cabin + the balcony itself. They're referred to as 'larger' outside or oceanview cabins. So, yes, the cabin part of a balcony cabin would be smaller than these larger cabins. But there aren't many of these cabins, and they cost just about as much as a balcony cabin.

The standard balcony cabin on Oceana is 170 sq ft....which isn't that big...the balconies are very narrow, however, or friends had one last month and managed okay.

 

WE had a mini suite which was about 325sq ft, but we still struggled for wardrobe space...the mini suites have a 'walk in' wardrobe which you have to reverse out of as theres not room to swing a cat, let alone a human body:D

 

I do believe that the cabin square footage mentioned in the brochures/web sites include the balcony in the sizes mentioned
