Viking Longship Veranda Suite Storage?

[What was that?]

In another post I asked about the number and placement of drawers in the Longships VS cabins, and found that there were few of them. So let me ask those of you who have traveled in this class of cabin how you coped with storage for stuff that normally goes in bureau drawers. I don't relish the idea of just piling things around the cabin, so maybe you already have the answers I am seeking?

Be sure and pack light.  In Veranda Suite, you get free laundry service which is excellent and quick turn around.

Also a good point to keep in mind! I'll have to remind DW of that...

But there is no dry cleaning on board. We used the laundry service on our least trip. Quick, easy, no issues.

 

Did you see the 360° tour? It shows two drawers in the closet and also two cabinets in the living room.  You can e-mail Viking and ask if those are intended for guests' usage. They may even be able to send you pictures of the interior of the two cabinets (although the lower one has vents so it may be hiding the mini fridge.

Yeah - I did see the 360 degree tour on the Viking website, but other videos (see my other topic) show a different arrangement entirely. That is part of the reason for asking about the LIF - whether it is like the "old" Viking videos, or the "current" user videos.

The difference is build date may be difference.  I believe Lif is 2014 as are Rinda, Hlin, Astrild and Hemming which we have sailed.  Astrild is specially designed for the Elbe and Hemming for the Douro so they are modifications of the regular Longship fleet.

 

Viking does tweek design so it is possible they decided there needed to be more storage.  

 

As Peregrina651 pointed out, I believe the vented “cabinet” in the living area is the fridge as that was where it was on the Hemming.  I see no space in the bedroom for the safe so it could well be in what looks like a cabinet door above the fridge.  But on the Hemming it was in the bedroom closet above some shelves.
