karska Posted November 19, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Penthouse C are all aft. Read comments about vibration, plus don't really like all the way back. We did it on a Celebrity and couldn't sit out...got wet plus NO privacy. Is it worth the extra dollars for PH. It's about $3000/pp more. That said, business class is inc.

Travelcat2 Posted November 19, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 19, 2013 There are so many variables. Having Business Class air included can be a big plus (depending upon the cost to upgrade if you are in in a penthouse). While the Penthouse Suites on the Voyager are only 15 sq. ft. larger than regular suites, the configuration makes it feel larger. We never needed a butler before -- until we experienced our first one. They are lovely and make the Regent Experience even better than it would normally be. IMO, Penthouse Suites are a great non-necessity. Whether or not it is worth the extra $$$ is up to you. I do recommend avoid Penthouse A suites that are under the swimming pool (deck 10) as it can be noisy when the chairs are being moved around. We generally stay in a mid-ship Penthouse B. Whichever you choose, hope you have a great cruise.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karska Posted November 19, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I agree about being below pool as well as being above restaurants or fitness center. Just checked brochure. Pent B deck 8.7 are by either the elevators or launderette . Left side seems best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drcandon Posted November 20, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 20, 2013 On Voyager we had PA room 960. Yes it was near the end of the ship and only once when we were booting it out of Sicily did I notice any vibration and it was very very minor. Also that set of "A"s are not under the pool. Anyway as I have indicated on other posts we always book on rear cabin on HAL (SC, SB cat ) and they are located aft, those vibrate a lot, so we have gotten used to it and it never bothers us anymore. We actually got rolled out of bed once on a sailing from New York...so take my advice with a bit of caution. We got an upsell (last cruise to a P"A") and decided to take it. Never regretted it for an instance. Our butler was amazing. Agreed with all the food I really did not need anything else but it was still great. I have never seen shrimp that huge!!!... DW and I always argue over the computer , with the included Ipad that ended that issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambagahle Posted November 20, 2013 #5 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Compared to the PH suites on the Mariner the Voyager one disappointed me. I did not like the layout and at the time thought I would probably prefer to take a "normal" Concierge level suite in future. (Had one of these on Navigator and were delighted with the size...) That said, nothing will now separate me from a Butler!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
