cabins on the new windstar Pride

[firststeps]

We are thinking about booking the Iceland trip for Aug 2022.  Would appreciate comments on the renovated ship and which cabins to book.  Hard to find any information.  Thanks.

I'm fresh off of the Star Breeze and would suggest it mostly depends on your preferences, i.e.,

• bed or sitting area next to the window/balcony,
• Oceanview vs. balcony or higher cabin, and
• your budget.

Frankly, we were in an S1 Oceanview and found it very much to our liking.  If you are new to Windstar, you'll quickly find that no part of the ship is more than a 3 minute walk.

Thanks for the response.!  Hope you had a wonderful trip.   We have taken 7 trips on Windsar but of course, this is a "new" ship.  We are looking at cabins 446 and 447.  Both S1 category.  One time our son and daughter-in-law were in a cabin where they heard the anchor early in the am which woke them up.  Never again!  

Any input would be appreciated.  How are the new eating venues?

Recently off the breeze where we had booked Balcony Suite (BS) Cabin 519 because it stated that it had a bathtub.   On entering the cabin, it did indeed have a bathtub... but NO SHOWER.  There was a wand about 1/2 up that wall that I guess you could hold and shower off with... but we requested we be moved to cabin with a shower and were moved to cabin 525.   It was mid ship and very quiet.  

 

A couple we met on board had a Oceanview suite forward on deck 4 and they stated it was very loud from the waves crashing into the ship when the ship was underway.

 

We enjoyed all the dinning venues.  We thought the food in Cuadro was really fun and unique, and Amphora was really top notch for a "main" dining room.

 

Enjoy!

We were forward on Deck 4 for the Star Breeze sailing July 31 and it was quiet the entire cruise.  All the food was excellent except for the Lamb in Candles.

We are booked for the August 9 2022 one-week out of Reykjavík. It will be our second time on Windstar, the first time will be coming up in January 2022.

One thing I looked at when choosing a stateroom: the ship will be going counter-clockwise around Iceland. My theory is that the port-side views will be of the land, starboard views will be of the water. We'll see. It may be that we sail far enough off-shore that the landward views are not that big a deal...

I think you will not be close enough to see much off shore, but most of your ports will be down fjords, which are dead ends.  Thus what is port side going in will be starboard going out.  EM

Well that is good new.  Could I ask what cabin you had?
