Help with Oceana Deck Plan

[YoungQE2Cruiser]

Just booking a cruise on the Oceana for summer on C Deck and was wondering whether anyone can tell me what the space next to the disabled cabins is, the area forward of the ship.(Between C305 and 306 and C230 and 231) Thank you for any help.

I don't know for sure, but it looks to me like a crew staircase and service area. I infer that from the doors that are marked just forward of C305 and C306 on the deck plan (although I'm getting this from the Sun Princess deck plans) and from similar doors in the same place on other decks.

We have been on Oceana twice and Adonia once, all times on C deck. Not sure exactly where the cabins are that you mention but we have been next to the blank areas and not had a problem. In fact I find the soundproofing of the cabins very good.

 

We had a problem once when the 'cabin' opposite ours was used as the Art store and they would be getting the stock out early in the morning. I asked the Pursers desk to have it stopped, nothing happened:mad: I asked the man who did it and it stopped:)

If you can wait a few weeks I'll gladly investigate for you and tell you when we get back?

Thank you all very much for your help!

 

AliW, that'd be very kind if you could do that! Thank you! Look forward to hearing from you. Have an excellent cruise!

AliW's signature states:

 

P&O (Oceana) 18 June 2005 (E512)

 

I hope this is incorrect as I am going on this cruise and I think it sails on 19 June;)

You are quite correct - the date is showing wrong, but my original brochure showed the date as 18th and I never got around to changing it. As I am actually travelling to Southampton on the Saturday, I figured that ithe clock was only really for my benefit and helped me count down myself. Sorry if it caused confusion to other folks.

Will see you there.

As a blank space appears in the same place on each deck it is almost certainly a service/emergency staircase.

Hi

As promised, the area to which you requested clarification on is in fact a service/crew staircase/lift area.

Hope this helps

Thanks so much for finding out! That was very kind of you! Hope you enjoyed your cruise! Looking forward to ours.. just over a week left! Thanks again!

AliW beat me to it! Just off Sea Princess, was in C301. Despite being so close, there was no noise from this area at all. This staircase was also our primary emergency route to the muster station on deck 7.

Once again, Thank you all for your help! Only two more days now.. can't wait!
