Cabin: Concierge Level Veranda Stateroom

This was my 4th Oceania cruise, the first on one of the smaller ships. I must confess that I have been spoiled by previous voyages on Riviera. Seattle was beautiful, sunny and 84 degrees on the day we sailed. For the most part, weather was mild, with only misty rain here and there, but not much sun outside of Puget Sound. The scenery was majestic. Cruising in Tracy Arm and viewing Sawyer Glacier did not disappoint.

We found the food to be excellent with a small stumble here and there. Room service breakfast was a treat, delivered in a timely manner, hot and tasty. A little more space in the cabin would have made it more enjoyable...we were pretty cramped between the little sofa and the desk. Having a stool to sit on rather than a chair was less comfortable. As I said, spoiled by Riviera.

One our traveling group had an outside cabin with an 'obstructed view' which means there is a lifeboat right outside their window, and often crew members were on the deck working. We would not recommend this category of accommodation!

Cabin Review

Concierge Level Veranda Stateroom

Cabin A2

The cabins on Regatta are smaller than on the larger Marina and Riviera, my previous cruising experience. We were in a Consierge level cabin, and the only differences between this level and a standard balcony cabin were more items available on the room service breakfast menu, and location of our cabin, more midship than others. Furnishings have been well maintained. Beds are very comfortable, towels are luxurious, soaps, lotions, etc. are lovely. The balcony is a must for me, and was of adequate size, but there was very little room to turn around in both the cabin and the bathroom. The shower had a curtain and was tiny. Very little space by the sink. There was some storage in the bathroom. Ample room in the closet.

Port Reviews

Ketchikan

We decided to wander through Ketchikan on our own and found plenty to see and, but part of our mission was shopping. We had a great lunch in town and visited e recommended popcorn vendor and were not disappointed. Friendly people.
