grandma239 Posted January 8, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Just got notified of an upgrade on Viking Sky from Deluxe Veranda 4055 to Penthouse Veranda 6076. Checked the deck plans and saw that 6076 is right below the World Cafe! I called Viking to say I wanted to keep my original cabin, but the rep said 6076 will hear no noise from above - completely soundproof. Can anyone on here advise me about that? Also, will we potentially feel more motion in 6076 than 4055? 6076 is supposed to be bigger than 4055. Please help me decide what to do. Thanks!

just_dont Posted January 8, 2020 #2 Share Posted January 8, 2020 PV cabins are really nice due to being about 30% bigger. Lots more storage space. Couldn't tell you about noise from above, as we were forward deck 5, but I really don't think you'd need to worry about excessive motion. Viking ships are quite stable.

SantaFe1 Posted January 8, 2020 #3 Share Posted January 8, 2020 We have friends who did two world cruises, not in that exact room, but in the 6070s. They loved it, and booked it again. I’d grab it. We have stayed in PV deck 6 forward, and it’s our favorite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretchcruz Posted January 9, 2020 #4 Share Posted January 9, 2020 OMG. I'd take it in a hot minute. We've been in DVs and they are fine, but the closet is in the wrong place, and no place to move at the end of the bed. Our friends had the PV and wow, if I could afford it I'd be there in a second. Our next cruise(s) are in DVs and we will be happy, but if I had a PV I'd be ecstatic!! As far as being under the World Cafe, just bring earplugs. I do anyway. As for motion, we've always been aft in our DVs, a few cabins forward of the Explorer Suites (cheapest!!). No problem. We've spent a total of about 8 weeks on Ocean and love it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TayanaLorna Posted January 9, 2020 #5 Share Posted January 9, 2020 WHAT ARE YOU NUTS?!! PV is SO much better and bigger then DV. We were upgraded to 6072 and loved it. No noise from above in 6072. Even so the WC is not a late night venue like Torshavn or the Star Theatre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squawkman Posted January 9, 2020 #6 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Grab it! Last year we got an upgrade to 6073 and loved it! No noise to speak of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandma239 Posted January 9, 2020 Author #7 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Well, it sounds like the verdict is unanimous- we will indeed grab it! Thank you so much to everyone who gave advice.😊 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Kat Posted January 9, 2020 #8 Share Posted January 9, 2020 OMG! As others have said, the PVs are wonderful! Do be aware that this upgrade could cost you big $$$$. We got an upgrade on our first Viking Ocean and have been booking the same cabin since 😝. It’s so roomy and you have lots of storage. Instead of a narrow space at the foot of the bed, there is a lovely credenza under the TV with drawers and shelves. We had 5101, so I can’t help with the noise, but I’d advise taking it and bringing earplugs. The parts of the World Cafe over the cabins are carpeted, so I can’t see noise being a problem. Go for it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandma239 Posted January 9, 2020 Author #9 Share Posted January 9, 2020 The upgrade is complimentary, so it should not cost us anything additional, or am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantaFe1 Posted January 9, 2020 #10 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I think Cyber Kat means you will be booking PV cabins from now on, once you try one, and they are more expensive. But your upgrade is indeed free. Enjoy! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philw1776 Posted January 9, 2020 #13 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Love my PV. Spacious. 4th floor. Would kill for a free upgrade though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantaFe1 Posted January 9, 2020 #14 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Me too. I recently booked an August cruise, sold out except for DV2. We wanted to go, so we took it. DV is really fine, but I would love an upgrade to our regular PV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mibele Posted January 10, 2020 #17 Share Posted January 10, 2020 We had an up sell offer from a DV to a PV on this same cruise. Would have been nice for no $, but I wasn’t going to wait and see if that happened. Can’t wait to board! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we don’t have to but we’re spoiled. We had a tiny veranda cabin On Azamara with a bathroom the size Of the closet on Viking and it was making me nuts!

Phillygirl3 Posted January 10, 2020 #19 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Oh my gosh! I just saw this message after reading one regarding Viking Jupiter. Someone stayed in a cabin below The World Cafe and said it was awful--carts rolling around at 4 in the morning and after 10 pm. Don't know if Viking Sky set up is the same as Jupiter, so I wish you luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantaFe1 Posted January 10, 2020 #20 Share Posted January 10, 2020 The room she is getting is under the World Cafe, not the Aquivit terrace. They are probably in that room by now, anyway, and can let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What one person considers 'awful' might not even be noticed by another. It's also possible that one specific cabin might be unfortunately located right below something on the deck above that causes extra noise. The World Cafe covers a whole bunch of cabins on Deck 6. Most will likely be just fine. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsakishuman Posted January 11, 2020 #24 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I guess it's all about perspective. When we did our first VO cruise and stayed in a DV cabin, we had just come off a Tauck river cruise and the cabin was 150 square ft. The DV cabin seemed enormous. We were in 6048 and will be in that cabin again on Viking Jupiter in May. I like being high up for the great views and in the middle of the ship. I certainly wouldn't turn down a free upgrade but considering how little time we actually spend in the cabin it's not worth the extra cost for us. Never found space to be an issue but we do a two week cruise from a carry-on and small backpack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
