I'll be looking forward to seeing the new look. Gee, I hope my cabin is not one of the 20 that will be disappearing! 2025? The redesign will be 2 years old by then LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a good idea, but the makeover is happening now, and there are no cabins like this advertised once the Riviera is back in service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted November 15, 2022 #28 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Another thought is maybe they are no longer counting the triple & quads for Occupancy so could reduce the number of pax count Just speculation on my part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKS Posted November 15, 2022 #29 Share Posted November 15, 2022 It might be a mis-print, or maybe some dedicated quarantine cabins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChadnKate Posted November 15, 2022 #31 Share Posted November 15, 2022 They are taking about a dozen ocean view cabins and making them singles. No change in sq ft, just in bed size and cruise fare. On the new Vista they are Concierge level solos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChadnKate Posted November 15, 2022 #33 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Oceania has had several announcements. Sorry don’t have the link. On their website they list the passenger count for both the Riviera and Marina as 1238. Used to be 1250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen any announcement about a change in in the Oceanview cabins for the O ships. I have a cruise booked on Riviera in an Oceanview cabin next summer. This is after her refurb and that cabin is not a solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will all suites and staterooms now be Singles? 🤣🤣🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pinotlover Posted November 15, 2022 #37 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Everyone we heard of in Covid jail were quarantined in their own cabin. Maybe a couple cabins held for split couples where one didn’t test positive, but surely not many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early on the ships were so worried that they used special quarantine cabins, but I haven't heard of that for months now. I doubt that they would change the listed capacity of a ship for it anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ToxM Posted November 16, 2022 #39 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I don’t think they would change those OV cabins to singles, they are very popular and sell out quickly as doubles. I think the R ships singles are the perfect size, but this would be a bad move for O on the O class ships. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chloemonkey Posted November 16, 2022 #40 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I LOVE my VISTA Suites....and cannot imagine them being any more beautiful. But we shall see as we are on the Riviera once again in February 2023. Hoping that they have not "undone" a good thing..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on the Oceania website checking out a 2025 Riviera program the day before they were going to start taking reservations for those cruises. I noticed that at least one selection of inside cabins showed up as sold out. Maybe they are no longer offering those inside cabins for passengers after the redo.

marieps Posted November 20, 2022 #44 Share Posted November 20, 2022 We got the email listing which cabins were keeping the tubs and we're glad our PH in February on Riviera is getting a larger shower. To each, his/her own. Looks like she'll be beautiful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare the more ports the better Posted November 23, 2022 #49 Share Posted November 23, 2022 We are on Marina June 1-24 2024. I’m guessing it will be either before or after the summer Europe season. I’m crossing my fingers for before. We booked Riveria for a quicky 7 day in Jan to check out new refurb. I’ll take plenty of picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
