I just don't recall those differences off the top of my head. (One time, we got stuck in a Vista Suite but we muddled through and promised we'd never do that to each other ever again.) One of the OS's - Deck 8, I think - was not quite as deep as the others, leading the bar in the music room to be noticeably shorter than in the other 2. (Of course, with my memory, Deck 10 could be the one that's a bit shorter.) Suite 9147 is our go-to suite but, for our upcoming Mediterranean on 26 October, we were relegated to #8143. Once we're on board and I have a chance to look over 8143, I'll come back to this thread and explain the overt differences between Deck 9 and Deck 8 OS's. (One time, we got stuck in a Vista Suite but we muddled through and promised we'd never do that to each other ever again.) So I've a serious question re Vista Suite. Why did you feel like you got stuck in it and will never do it again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to be promised very calm seas. When it gets rough, the deck really cannot be used and furniture is all tied down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my purposes, the work-out room is wasted space for which I'm paying a premium. There were minor annoyances - e.g., a pole in the middle of the living room and, if I remember correctly, having to keep the drapes closed at night - but, as it's been 10 years, I don't recall a lot of the details. We just made the decision at that time that we wouldn't select a Vista suite again when there were other options available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did call my O travel specialist and he put me on waitlist for owners suite. If it becomes available I will def take it! Rough seas don’t bother me at all, but not being able to access the balcony would pi*+ me off! It’s not until Dec 2022 so we shall see, lots can change between now and then. I hope you are well!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff-FLL Posted October 28, 2021 #30 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Well, I'm in 8143 on Marina and, despite my preference for 9147, I can't identify specific differences in size. They seem to be pretty much the same, so it has to be the deck 10 OS that's somewhat different. I'm not sure if they've done it in all of the OS's but the TV in the master bath is gone. Also, they've replaced the carpets and some of the furniture (inside & out), so things are looking distinctly fresher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
