Shellyisapoet Posted October 15, 2009 #1 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Anyone have this room before? We are C1 class and can switch to mid ship 4th level if this is not an ideal location. Welcome comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted October 15, 2009 #2 Share Posted October 15, 2009 If you have a problem with motion I would switch to the Deck 4 cabin. Many enjoy the ride at the front;) Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacheco18 Posted October 15, 2009 #3 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Keep it!!!! That is the cabin I try to get. It is the largest of the non balcony deluxe ocean view cabins (I think a balcony on Oceania is a waste of money - they are very small and we're in port all the time). Look at the deck plan - the balcony square footage is part of the stateroom. We (along with another couple) just booked a 2011 cruise while on the Insignia and requested (and got) 7006 and 7007!! We were first to book the day the itinerary came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanandJim Posted October 15, 2009 #4 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Why is cabin location treated as such a mystery? Anything that we could tell the OP about 7006 is printed on the deckplans, which are widely available both online and in print. If one gives the plans any attention at all, it is easy, and even fun, to figure out what is above, below, across the hall or next to any given cabin. This used to be a Cunard line slogan, but it applies to the fun of planning a cruise too, so it bears repeating: Getting there is half the fun. I mean, most of us are only ever on the ship for a month maximum, but the planning of the trip takes several months......or even a couple of years! So enjoy the process. Learn to love your deck plans, revel in them, picture yourself seated at one of those tiny tables, enjoying a smart cocktail, or a rubber of bridge.

Shellyisapoet Posted October 15, 2009 Author #6 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Thanks, I know it's as big as room and balcony included but was slightly concerned about being so far forward and high. Having cruised before always lower and mid ship for best comfort and never in Meditteranean I was a bit worried. Guess I can always pop a dramamine.

White Cat Posted October 16, 2009 #7 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Our TA recommended this cabin for us due to its larger size. I believe it is 200 sq ft. We really are brave as we are going to be rocking and rolling across the Drake passage to Antarctica in 2011 but space is important to us. Enjoy your cruise!

There is even a website where you can drag one deck across another to see exactly what is above and below a particular cabin. (By holding down the right mouse button the dragged deck becomes transparent). http://www.cruisedeckplans.com/ the deck dragging tool is in the members section.

lalique Posted October 25, 2009 #9 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Anyone have this room before? We are C1 class and can switch to mid ship 4th level if this is not an ideal location. Welcome comments. Had same room on Deck 6 for Baltic Cruise last July - it was great!! VERY roomy and felt no motion. Our friends were in same cabin on deck 7 and had no problems. Rather have the extra room in the cabin than a veranda. Most itineraries are so busy there is not much time to use a veranda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jancruz Posted November 13, 2009 #12 Share Posted November 13, 2009 This cabin is one of the four that is always requested for a non balcony cabin because of the size..I can tell you people love it! Jancruz1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friscorays Posted December 9, 2009 #13 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I just got upsold into 7007 (from an F) for our upcoming Caribbean Holiday cruise. It seems as though I lucked out, as the Oceania agent assured us when he gave us our new room number. I'll post my thoughts on the room on our return.

Friscorays Posted January 5, 2010 #14 Share Posted January 5, 2010 We would recommend room 7007 for those booking an ocean view cabin. The cabin was quite roomy, secondary to the incorporated balcony space. The round window, several feet in diameter, offers nice unobstructed views out to sea. As others have commented on, it would be nice if Oceania made better use of the extra space in these cabins. For example, there is definitely room for an additional couch or perhaps a larger table or a chair or two. As it is, they just spread out the standard cabin furnishings a little bit and leave the additional space bare. Several days of our cruise had some "motion of the ocean" but I was not able to perceive any difference in motion when in our cabin as opposed to other public areas on the ship. You will hear the bow thrusters (as well as feel the vibration they produce) and anchor chain in cabins in this area of the ship when docking / anchoring. I would only consider this a problem if you want are a light sleeper. We heard absolutely nothing from the showroom two floors down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
