Floridastorm Posted July 10, 2020 #1 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Would appreciate knowing if anything special is provided for this cabin beside the extra space. Seems like the layout of the Oceanview, Veranda, and Penthouse cabins are about the same with the difference being space. Just curious as it will assist in which one we choose.

sitraveler Posted July 10, 2020 #2 Share Posted July 10, 2020 You have a butler, more dining reservations, in suite dining, early check in. Go to the O website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloha 1 Posted July 10, 2020 #3 Share Posted July 10, 2020 The Penthouse is well worth it for the extra space alone. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate-AHF Posted July 10, 2020 #4 Share Posted July 10, 2020 For us, the extra space, and the walk-in closet (as opposed to the closet in lower cabins that you nearly can't access one side of it because of door and bedside table placement) , and the ability to have specialty restaurant menu for in-room dining. from the website: Penthouse Suite Privileges In addition to Suite & Stateroom Amenities Free laundry service – up to 3 bags per stateroom+ Priority Noon ship embarkation with priority luggage delivery Exclusive card-only access to private Executive Lounge staffed by a dedicated Concierge featuring complimentary soft drinks, coffees and snacks throughout the day 24-hour Butler service Complimentary welcome bottle of Champagne Priority online specialty restaurant reservations Unlimited access to the Aquamar Spa Terrace iPad® upon request Bulgari gift set++ and a variety of amenities Customized entertainment system Cashmere lap blankets Complimentary shoe shine service Complimentary pressing of garments upon embarkation++ +Up to 20 garments per laundry bag. 3 day turnaround time and laundry will not be accepted 3 days prior to disembarkation.++Certain limitations apply BUTLER SERVICES Exclusively in Suites Course-by-course in-suite dining+ Order in from any of our specialty restaurants+ Coordination of shore-side dinner and entertainment reservations Last-minute luggage collection Packing and unpacking upon request Complimentary garment pressing+ Complimentary shoe shine service Gourmet evening canapés Special services upon request +Certain limitations apply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of DaNile Posted July 10, 2020 #5 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Totally agree with what Kate said about the closet and storage space - no comparison with the lower level cabins. And the ability to order from the Specialties... divine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may try to make it into the restaurant later, but dessert in a robe often wins the day.- Heaven 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Best, Dave You left out the most important part - what ship? PH on R class ships are very different from PHs on O class ships. That said, all PH are nicer than regular cabins but not all PHs are created equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ORV Posted July 10, 2020 #10 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I think the Bulgari gift set is a new addition to the perks for PH. It has been part of the upper suites perks but not PH in the past. Keep in mind that in the future we don't know if the Executive Lounge will really be of any benefit if they remove snacks, drinks, newspapers, etc. The concierges there from most reports haven't been of much use anyway in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I was looking for. Somehow I missed all of this on the Oceana website. Thought it was strange that the suites were not that much different than the other cabins. That is surely a full compliment of extras provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She doesn't like to be restricted to a room service menu although possibly the menu for the suites may be a full menu. I myself enjoy eating in the room or on the veranda from time to time.

YoHoHo Posted July 10, 2020 #18 Share Posted July 10, 2020 When reading the benefits of PH on a O ship I would skip over the walk-in closet - who really cares. Now after enjoying the cabin - I do! It is like a small separate change room surrounded by ones clothes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted July 11, 2020 #21 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Regarding late luggage collection upon the end of the cruise, does Oceania allow for one to keep their luggage and do self assist on debarkation day or is it mandatory to put one's luggage out in the corridor?

As long as you can manage your bags you can keep them until you have to vacate the cabin usually about 8 am unless in a top suite & I think you can get them a bit later someone will correct me if wrong 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us it is Jacques and sometimes we do that. Also, on a long day of touring, you may just want to clean up and relax and dine en-suite in your robe. Sometimes when I know they will be serving one of our favorite desserts at afternoon tea but we will be off the ship, we'll ask the butler to get some for us for later.
