Viva Oceanwalk vs Breakaway class Waterfront

[living at the beach]

Looking at the deck plans for the Viva, lots of new things on the Ocean Walk ,but looks like much fewer comfortable seats than on the Breakaway ships, and only one outside bar now.  I have loved the Breakaway Waterfront, but I will be sailing on the Viva in January and trying to decide if I should go for a Vibe pass if there’s so little seating on the Vivas deck 8 because I don’t want to be fighting for seats on the Oceanwalk. Anyone who’s been on the Viva please comment

Just off the Viva, we completed a B2B, on the first cruise, the area around the two infinity pools was quiet, and the pools were almost empty with no chair hogs in sight. On the second cruise forget about it. We observed folks placing their stuff on chairs before 6 AM, with both pools packed by 10 AM.

We just got off the Viva TA crossing and methinks these pics and video might be a deal breaker for you … bottom line: get the Vibe Club pass …
