All Scenic Opal cabins have a maximum capacity of 2 guests per cabin. With the exception of the lower (Jewel Deck 1) cabins (located at water level), all other staterooms (80%) are balcony cabins. They are advertised by Scenic Tours as “Suite” accommodations with “Sun Lounges”. Each of these features a private (step-out) balcony for all-weather use. The total number of cabin categories is 16.
Below is a review of Scenic Opal staterooms, including furniture, price-included amenities, and complimentary services:
