Introduction to Villa Vie Odyssey Cabins
The video introduces the concept of residential cruise ships, specifically focusing on the Villa Vie Odyssey and its approach to affordable residential cruises. The hosts aim to provide an ultimate guide to the various cabins, or villas, available for purchase on the ship, addressing the numerous requests from viewers to see different cabin options. They clarify that while they are focusing on owning a villa, there are other ways to experience the Odyssey, such as through segments or rentals.
Included Amenities with Villa Purchase
The video outlines the amenities included with the purchase of a villa on the Villa Vie Odyssey. Inside the villa, residents receive twice-weekly service from a villa attendant, unlimited laundry service twice a week, and access to a complimentary launderette. Premium Wi-Fi via Starlink is available both inside the villa and throughout the ship. Outside the villa, amenities include a 24-hour fitness center, fitness classes, access to saunas (both dry and wet), and a business center with premium Wi-Fi and unlimited coffee. All meals are included, with dinner options at the buffet or the main dining room, Thistle. Beer and wine are included with lunch and dinner, and unlimited sodas are available throughout the day. Gratuities for the crew are also included in the villa purchase and monthly fees.
Pricing Structure Explained
The video explains how pricing works for the villas. The price of the cabin remains constant regardless of whether one or two people are staying in it. Monthly fees, however, are calculated based on double occupancy. If only one person occupies the villa, the monthly fees are reduced by $1,000. For example, a monthly fee of $4,999 for two people would be $3,999 for a single occupant.
Deluxe Balcony Villa
The hosts showcase a deluxe balcony villa featuring a nice-sized bed, a large vanity, and a spacious balcony with scenic views. The bathroom includes a sink, a shower-tub combo, and a separate toilet room. The bedroom also offers ample closet space.
Deluxe Balcony Suite
Next, the video tours a deluxe balcony suite, which includes extra closet space in the entrance hallway. The main living space features a nice-sized bed, a vanity with a flat-screen TV, and a bathroom with a double sink vanity, a separate toilet room, and a shower-tub combo. A unique feature of this suite is a peekaboo window from the shower and tub, offering views from the balcony. The balcony is of standard size and provides unobstructed views.
Ocean View Villa
The video presents the most popular villa type on the Odyssey: the ocean view villa. It includes a nice bed, a small chair, a vanity, closet space, and a large-screen TV. The bathroom features two bars for towels, a small storage unit, a sink, and a roomy shower with a shower curtain. The hosts mention that one of these villas was sold within 72 hours of their last viewing.
Standard Balcony Villa
A standard balcony villa is shown, featuring a nice bed, a flat-screen TV, a vanity area with storage, and a chair. The closets include a small refrigerator and standard hanging space with additional storage. The balcony is considered obstructed due to the overhang, but the video shows the actual balcony space.
Connecting Ocean View Villa
The option of connecting outside rooms or ocean view villas is explored. Purchasing two side-by-side cabins allows for combining the spaces, potentially using one as a bedroom and the other as a living area. A connecting door links both spaces, offering a larger villa option suitable for families.
Inside Villa
The cheapest cabin option, the inside villa, is showcased. It includes a bed and four smaller closets, with two closets next to the bed and two next to the vanity space. The TV can be customized and placed anywhere in the room.
Porthole Window View
An alternative, slightly more expensive option is the porthole window view villa. This cabin type is also available for purchase on the Odyssey.
