Penthouse Suite verses Concierge veranda on Marina?

[qballer]

We have 4 prior cruises on Oceania in Concierge verandas. May upgrade to PH1, would like to hear advice why or why not to upgrade.

There's no comparison, in my opinion, and as stated succinctly by LHT above.

Go for it, especially one on deck 7 aft.  Not anywhere near the executive lounge, but that wasn't a big deal to us.

We actually prefer PH2 on deck 10. Our only PH1 on Marina, Deck 11, was the noisiest cabin we’ve ever had in any ship. Directly under Waves with people dragging chairs over our heads, sometimes starting as early as 5:30. Plus there is the issue, for us, of the overhang over the balcony that blocks the pan aroma.

 

The PHs on Marina are great! Go for it if you can.

When we cruise, we tend to book B2B's for an extended time on board.  We spent a month in a Concierge on Marina, the next year a month in a PH3.  We won't be going back to a concierge again.  Just the fact i could actually find things in the PH walk-in closet was enough to convince me.

 

The extra space and the amenities really enhanced our experience.

If the money difference doesn't make any difference, then it's a no brainer to go with the PH.

Thanks everyone for the insight/advice. I'm booked on Marina in a PH2 for 26 day in Sept/Oct. Hopefully it goes off well. I was on Marina's last cruise in South America, It was extended 8 days due to Covid virus. Everyone had a great time.
