dock Posted November 23, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Hi, we’re looking at the Vista for early 2024. Is there any difference, apart from location between the A1-A4 cabins? Making a change from Celebrity as this cruise will be without our children. I’m not seeing any specials at this point and many cabins are available . Does it make sense to wait for a potential sale or is it unlikely as this is a new ship? Thank you . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted November 23, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 23, 2022 As mentioned in another thread there are some A cabins with extended balconies (at least they look like they will be) But probably the other cabins will be all about the Location If you want a specific cabin location book it then if a sale comes along then ask for the sale price & see if they will adjust your price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference would be location. I would avoid the A-1s because in most cases they are under public areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several A1's on deck 9 & 10 they are under other pax decks https://www.oceaniacruises.com/sites/default/files/2021-09/vista-deck-plan-level-9-v2.pdf https://www.oceaniacruises.com/sites/default/files/2021-09/vista-deck-plan-level-10-v2.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dock Posted November 23, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Thanks for the info. I have made note of the extended balcony cabins. Just concerned if there would be noise from Deck 6 below , (I think the dining room is below)and what’s located above on Deck 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Marina we have been above the GDR not a problem so cannot imagine it would be on the Vista Deck 8 has PAX decks above & below https://www.oceaniacruises.com/ships/vista/deck-plans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck 8 is completely staterooms on Vista - - if noise is your concern, it doesn’t get any better than that. None of us have seen Vista yet, but study the deck plans. Staterooms 8004 to 8011 inclusive, appear to be very interesting. If these plans are accurate, these staterooms appear to have extended, extended balconies and a few even have extended, extended, extended balconies.

dock Posted November 24, 2022 Author #8 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Thanks for the info. I’ve been looking at Deck Plans since ship seems pretty open now. Will add these two to the list. They will have some shade though I assume? Have shortlisted 2 on Deck 9 and 2 on Deck 10. We just not sure about being too far forward. Waiting on a quote from Oceania as have 2 TA indicate there’s no incentives with booking through them at present so may as well book with cruise line .

Or try another TA - we were given prepaid gratuities by our TA. Google Oceania ambassador or Oceania expert and see what you come up with. May I ask what country you live in? There are two types of incentives - those provided by Oceania and those provided by your TA and their agency. Ask for the TA/Agency incentives.

dock Posted November 24, 2022 Author #10 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Canada. Both agents on the Oceania site when I did a search for my region , but I’ve booked through US agents before and have no issue doing so again . Will keep looking.

dock Posted November 25, 2022 Author #11 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Apologies for the numerous questions. We are now firming up cabin choices. We’ve never stayed in an extended balcony so I’m ambivalent . Does the balcony feel cavernous towards the cabin entrance and is the natural light in the cabin itself diminished? Being as this is our first Oceania cruise I don’t want to get too crazy with all the changes lol. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dock Posted November 25, 2022 Author #12 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Also can one DM people for direct info like I’m other boards , rather than asking on the main board only . Don’t want to annoy people. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did not feel dark to me I will see if I can find a photo You can always use the search function top right to see if others have asked the questions before if worried about annoying people LOL or just ignore those that complain 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ORV Posted November 25, 2022 #16 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I 've never thought any balcony was too large or cavernous. I'm assuming you mean tunnel like. Some people complain of this, but having been in the extended balcony rooms on Marina it didn't really seem to be an issue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dock Posted November 30, 2022 Author #18 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Thank you all for the info provided. We have booked an extended balcony on Vista. After a bit of research I found a TA I was comfortable working with. Looking forward to our first cruise on Oceania. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
