Rare MVPinBoynton Posted February 8, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 8, 2014 On the O website, it shows Cat D as 143 sq ft and Cat E with 160 sq ft. I realize that Cat E cabins have an obstructed view. From reading some old posts, it seems that Cat E cabins don't have a couch but Cat D does. It doesn't make sense to me that the larger cabin wouldn't have the couch. Is the O site incorrect on the Cat D square footage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoHoHo Posted February 8, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Not sure where you are looking but your assumption of what makes sense is correct. Category E is the smallest at 143 sq. ft. http://www.oceaniacruises.com/ships/regatta/staterooms/oceanview.aspx Not having the sofa yields about the same floor area though the layout is different with the doorway on the side.

Rare MVPinBoynton Posted February 8, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted February 8, 2014 This is what is shown for Cat D. I think this will explain why I was confused. You answered the question that it was totally wrong. Thanks again.

Maybe post the link in question to the webmaster to correct I see where they messed up They copied the script from the other cabin but in the photo it has D as 165 sq ft which is correct Just another case of not checking their work before posting the details ;) Edited February 8, 2014 by LHT28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoHoHo Posted February 8, 2014 #9 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I can't insert a picture but if you look at the link in my post the error is perhaps more apparent. On the page I refer to to the right of the cabin picture os a few 'stats' about that category. It shows for example the D's are on deck 3 and the size of 165 sq ft. and 143 on deck 6 for cat. E . All correct. However, as Lyn posts it is the description of those two that has been put on the wrong 'page' so need to be reversed. It is correct on the interactive deck plan. I've always noted the 'stats' when comparing and not noticed the descriptions reversed. Could have been like this for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisingxpert Posted February 8, 2014 #10 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Missed that thanks No problem. I hope I like it:) because that's what I have booked myself on for the Nov 11th Insignia cruise. First time on a R ship - all previous ones on Riviera. Traveling solo this time so it was affordable.

CintiPam Posted February 8, 2014 #14 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Thanks. It's 6030 - on the deck plans it looks like there isn't a lifeboat beside that window. CJ Spouse and I have sailed twice in Cabin 6033, and there is very little obstruction because there indeed is no lifeboat there but simply a davit down the middle of the window. This davit holds a small Zodiac, which itself hangs below window level. When we had this cabin, we spent much more time in the lovely library or on the pool deck, using the cabin only to sleep, dress or shower. Enjoy your cruise!

I actually found your review of that cabin. You're the reason I booked it:D I have friends traveling with me on this cruise - one in aft balcony and the other in a Penthouse so I figured I could always go to their balconies. Looking forward to see how I like the R ships in comparison to the Riviera - the only O ship I have sailed on so far. Catherine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtravel Posted February 10, 2014 #16 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Deck 6 oceanview are obstructed and very small. 6030 and 6033 have the least obstruction. The rest of the oceanviews on deck 6 are very obstructed. Lifeboats block the view. I would not book those cabins. Deck 3 cabins are oceanview with a porthole. Deck 4 is oceanview with large window. Deck 3 and 4 cabins are about 160 sq. ft. Deck 6 oceanview cabins are 143 sq. ft. Rather than booking Deck 6 obstructed cabins, book an inside.

Sent from my iPad using Forums We have sailed on these ships several times and one time we had a couple who we became friends with and they showed us their cabin (we had an inside Cat. F) and it was the above mentioned cabin on deck 6 with a window. It was indeed 143 Sq. feet and I would say the inside cabins are far superior to these since they are 160 sq. ft. Also we have sailed on the cabins with windows on deck 3 and they are great. Just my opinion but I hope his helps. -Rodan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
