Mr. Mazel Posted October 10, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 10, 2011 We are interested in Nautica sailing from Rome to Barcelona in October, 2012. Debate is over location of PH suites. Is the price differential due to the locations of the suites worth the difference? Are the seas rough in the western Med. in October? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seas do tend to run higher (more and larger waves) outside of the peak Summer season (which is one of the reasons why the Summer is considered to BE the season). Weather being what it is, you will hear about people who had perfect weather in October, but there are also years when the ships simply cannot access some ports because of the high seas. If you book later in the year, you should be aware that you are taking more of a chance with that. Because all of the Penthouses are on Deck 8, which suite you choose mostly has to do with how much walking you are willing to do and how often you are willing to do it. If you're the type of person who likes to return to the room often, having a central location might be important to you. On an Oceania Ship, the dining venues are in the stern, the entertainment and lounges are forward. Think about how you will be using the facilities; book your room with an eye towards that, and you will love your location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted October 11, 2011 #3 Share Posted October 11, 2011 However, the R ships are not all that big so it isn't a hike like on the QM2 where, when I returned to the suite after lunch it was time to head out for dinner again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
