barcrab Posted June 30, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Has anyone sailed in a V1 stateroom on the Ovation? Looking on the deck plan, it appears smaller than other verandah staterooms. The bathrooms do not have tubs so are they smaller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab21au Posted June 30, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) While I have been on the Ovation and the Encore, they were not in a V1 suite for the very reason they are smaller suites. A friend who has sailed on SB many times looked at those cabins on a recent cruise and this is what he reported “I had a look at a V1 on changeover day in Lisbon ? It seemed very small with no bath, therefore no passage “desk” a two (instead of three) person couch and (I think) only a single basin. Better to pay the extra and have a V2.” ... and that would be my opinion also, particularly as the recent quote I got for a 14day cruise on the Ovation, the V1 was only $600 AUD cheaper than a V2.

If I may add that in the V1 that we looked at, the floor under the hanging space in the wardrobe was mostly taken up with a wooden box about 4 feet? long by 15 inches? wide by about 15 inches? high. Perhaps housing plumbing or other services that are normally under or at the end of the bath. I’m guessing the size because I only had a quick look and I unfortunately didn’t take any photos. It would be fine for a single traveler, I guess. I only knew that a V2 or higher would be much better value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
