Deckplans/cabin category question

[soccermom4]

We are booked on Marina for 2/2025 in cabin 7108 (extended balcony).  I paid for it as a B3.  The Oceania website has now been updated.  The deckplan that has it B3 is labeled "Pre-2025".  New deckplan has it as an A2.  It's our first Oceania cruise, so I really didn't care about having a Concierge etc.  However, now I'm curious about what our status is.  I'll reach out to our TA, but thought I'd ask here too.

Your status will be  ‘B3’ as you booked your cabin as a ‘B3’. When it’s upgraded to an A2 it will carry the concierge benefits.

Sort of what I figured, but because the cruise is in 2025 - when the cabin seems to be A2, it wasn't clear...

Your TA will get you the best answer.

 

You’re booked as a B3 and will pay accordingly. Not sure you’ll be able to book Specialties as an A2, or get Lounge access. Let your TA work it out.

I’ve reached out to her. I’ll let you know what she says. I’m happy to cruise either way!

We booked the same cabin as a B3 on the Riviera also for 2/25 about two years ago. There are couple extended balcony cabins available now and they are still in the same category B3. For that particular sailings they will remain in this category without any concierge benefits. They were rebranded as a A2 for the summer 2025 and beyond. And that’s unfortunate because nothing of concierge represents any of particular value to us.
