Room size Veranda vs Ocean View on Insignia.

[LB_NJ]

I am sure this has been asked before and please be nice.

 

The Oceania website lists most Oceanview rooms as 165 sq. ft. and Veranda as 216 sq. ft.

 

The layout diagram seems to show them the same on the inside.

 

Is the 51 sq. foot difference due to the Balcony or are the Veranda cabins significantly larger inside.

I think the veranda cabins square footage includes the veranda.

[LHT28]

the inside of the A, B, C & D  are all the same

some exceptions apply

[CintiPam]

Yes, same on the inside.  We often sail in the Oceanview C cabins when the anticipated cruise weather is very cool, such as in Scandinavia. Queasy sailor me loves the mid-ships location.

The Veranda is 43 sqf of the 216 sqf so a A or B cabin room is 173 sqf. per se.

 

We are rarely in the cabin or actually use the Veranda so now book cat. C Deluxe Ocean View on the O ships and cat. C1 Ocean View on the R ships. The $ saved can be substantial.

 

The C1 cabins have a 2+ foot ledge with a slight up slope below the square window which is really handy for extra (clothing) storage space.

 

We also like Deck 4 C1 cabins because boarding is on Deck 4, tendering is on Deck 3 and excursion dispatch from the Lounge on Deck 5 = 1 flight of stairs vs. waiting on an elevator. There are only 2 forward elevators on the R ships.

I apologize, LB_NJ; my post above was referring to the “O” ships, Marina and Riviera, not Insignia.

Just a question. Last year we were in an aft A2 with the massive, deep veranda yet it's still listed as 216 sq ft. Do you know why?

[Rob the Cruiser]

Oh, @Petoonya, that information is super-super secret. 

 

But seriously, we had an A2 aft on Sirena last month. The extra square footage of the veranda is awesome. Just don't tell anyone.

I was in 6093 and it was unforgettable in Tahiti on Sirena. How about you- which were you in?

[Rob the Cruiser]

We had 6093 on the Miami - Buenos Aires. Terrific.
