Melbourne Boys Posted March 22, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) Evening everyone from Melbourne Australia. Can anyone give me some advice on the good, bad, and ugly of V1 cabins on Ovation. Primarily any cabins better than others. We are aware of the restricted glass balconies. Many thanks Michael.

cruisinsince75 Posted March 22, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 22, 2023 We will be on the Ovation next week and are in 550, which is an accessible cabin. IMO, I would not want to be in any cabin that is toward the bow on that deck, because of motion and noise. I think any of the others would be fine choices and then just a matter of whether you have a preference of port or starboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techno123 Posted March 22, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Have a look at this video if you haven't already - it gives you an idea - I think the veranda suites are slightly more narrow on Encore and Ovation than the older ships but apart from location all similar (apart from Veranda 'barrier'). I get seasick so choose midship so have 542 booked 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodvino808 Posted March 23, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) We were on ovation in late January of this year and had room 528. I thought it was actually just fine and thought the slightly larger balcony made up for the lack of all glass. You will hear some vibration of the anchor in the morning, but it wasn’t something that really bothered us too bad location wise. Some of the pros of deck five was easy access to the restaurant, laundry and we really enjoy the back deck on five with the pool and two hot tubs. Also because I think it has slightly less rooms than other decks, it’s quieter and less traffic. Last May on Ovation we had a room on deck seven so I had the same concern about being in a category one on deck five. Honestly, I would say the two rooms are a wash and in some cases feel like we got a better ride on deck five being lower on the ship. I wouldn’t hesitate staying on deck five again, especially if I can find a room midship! enjoy 🙂 Edited March 23, 2023 by goodvino808 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alainciao Posted March 25, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 25, 2023 The balconies in cabins forward on deck five begin decreasing in size around 510. We were in 514 which was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melbourne Boys Posted March 26, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Thanks everyone for your very informative responses, you have reinforced our decision to book a V1 for three weeks in the Mediterranean next July without any concerns….. thanks again Michael & David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alainciao Posted March 26, 2023 #7 Share Posted March 26, 2023 I should have noticed you were looking at the Ovation. My comment on decreasing balcony size applies to the Quest and her sisters. Ovation looks OK for balconies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPH814 Posted March 29, 2023 #8 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Deck 5 is my favorite. Low i the ship makes for less movement. I love the easy access tot he pool at the back of deck 5. It is a frequently forgotten spot. small pool and hot tub. I can not tell you how many times i was the only one in the pool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
