6004 and 6005 are the largest of the outside s/r on board. Check out the deck plan. You will see that the room is expanded to the depth of the verandas in 6006 and 6007. We had stayed in one of these on two occasions, once because of a downsell by O - they needed our Concierge s/r - and once because of an itinerary we wanted and only outsides were available. Since we were so very pleased with it the first time, decided to book it instead of wait for the following year for the same itin.

 

The stateroom has a very large round window, about 4 feet in diameter which gives a great view of sea and land when in port.

 

Can't help you with sea conditions since we have not cruised to the So. Pacific yet.

Hello Jancruz....After I posted my queries I found an old thread that stated room was over theatre ...they practice in afternoon and show at night...this should not be an issue since I plan to be on pool deck or somewhere else on the ship in the afternoon and in the evening taking in the shows live...

 

Thanks for info...No worries!!!.....:):)

Thanks Zoncom...that's good....we are usually retire late and early risers!! so looks like that will work....did some checking on threads ...not many very specific about the south pacific...just a few but getting a feel for the Insignia on longer excursions...sounds like a nice relaxing ship.. ...very much look forward to the good weather sea days taking in the south pacific on the pool deck!!!:):)

Night shows at 9:15 as I recall.

 

On most O ships the shows are at 9:30 (occasionally at 9:45).

Not sure about Insignia.

[courtjester777]

Thanks Paulchili....Done some poking around on the boards...looks like the shows are not getting great reviews...but that is ok...sure I can find some things to do !!!....

 

My wife not a great flyer...Flying in from T.O......long haul...only way could get her on a flight that long was to take advantage of the air deviation ...fly in week early to Tahiti ...let her recover!! lol:)..do some pre cruise R and R..wait for Insignia

Thanks, George's Gal--we will be in 6005,in March. Glad to know it was not too noisy for you. DH is hard of hearing and sleeps through thunderstorms, but I am a lighter sleeper. Eleven o'clock is fine--we might be in the theater, anyway!
