garycd Posted February 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2018 It may be already on the boards, but could not find it. Does anyone have a link or photos for the Insignia lower cabins (inside, oceanview, verenda)? We wanted to see what the shower and bathroom area looked like. (How small is the shower, is it a shower curtain, or glass?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njhorseman Posted February 17, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 17, 2018 It may not be all that clear in the photo, but the shower is very small and it has a curtain, not glass. Also if you have long upper legs or an fairly large derriere, you may not be able to sit straight on the toilet. I have to angle myself a bit because if I try to sit straight one of my knees uncomfortably presses into the door jamb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shower is adequate, but the one in the spa is very spacious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go-Bucks! Posted February 18, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Shower was 2' x 3'. After 1 shower in it, I took showers in the spa shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB_NJ Posted February 18, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I would happily give up a few feet of cabin space for a bigger bathroom. Not sure why the cruise companies make the bathrooms so small. Another question about the lowest cabins on Insignia, the 3000 series. Are there any problems with any of these. They are ocean view cabins with a porthole. I like the idea of a low mid-ship cabin just in case of ship motion in rough seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of a low mid-ship cabin just in case of ship motion in rough seas. You need to remember when these ships were built. I doubt that if the "R" ships were being built today they'd have such small showers. I guess that would mean taking a little space from the main room but I'm guessing people would be happy to make that trade-off. We recently were in a B1 cabin after many years of being in PH cabins on the "R" ships and I was surprised that the teensy shower so longer bothered me so much. One plus is that at least for US there was more than adequate storage space in the bathroom. Mura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classiccruiser777 Posted February 18, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Regarding the 3000 series cabins: We’ve been in these cabins on two of our cruises and loved them. Very quiet, little motion, out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had rough seas leaving Miami and many people on the ship were sea sick. We were fine in our cabin. It is also very quiet down there since there are just a dozen or so cabins so basically nobody ever walks by your door. However, the smaller window makes it a bit dark.

I was one of those who was sea sick on the way to Havana! :eek: Cabin was mid-ship but on deck 6. I laid in bed most of the day until we arrived. Then I felt better when the motion was over and I ate a green apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaiidan Posted February 19, 2018 #13 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Shower is more than adequate... and the curtain is fine too more room than a glass coffin. As to seasick, it is simple physics of good ol'e Archimedes the higher you go up the more the motion. Finaly, after staying in almost all classes of cabin I am just as happy in an inside as a penthouse of R class ships. The reality on O is that once out of the cabin everyone is treated and has access to about everything... The insides are about the same size as the veranda cabins without a veranda. The smallest cabins are the C ocean view... 20 sq ft smaller.. Which to pick? Well I would rather sail longer and more frequently with a small cabin than occasionally in a larger cabin. On R class there is really not much difference except $$$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
