PutterP

We are booked on Sirena Sept. 25, 2021 from London to London...We certainly hope it sails this time...we have had to cancel three trips to Scotland over the past year   We are vaccinated and ready to go........really miss cruising!   is anyone else booked on this trip?

Having been on several of both...here are my comments

1. when you upgrade on O to a penthouse there is a butler and your gratuity doubles!

   Had the option of an upgrade but was not told about the gratuity increase

2. food quantity similar

3. rooms bigger (veranda) and much better bathrooms on V

4. nice to have no children on board. ..folks on O seem to like to bring preadolescent grandkids and have no control over them..and the kids are bored since no activities for them.

5. if you like cheap wine it is free on V at lunch and dinner, if you are a wine affectionado  

you will have to pay...cocktails are less on V with no added gratuity..o charges more with an18 percent gratuity 
6. o has trivia v does not..people were friendly on o , on v they seem to come with their friends 

7. furnishings traditional on o. Scandinavian on V  

8. access to pool is difficult on V...no stairs on outside pool only ladder. o has a nice stairway entry

We are sailing on Nov 6 -16 West Indies and also would love some feedback from those who are on the Oct. 27 sailing....conditions at airport, etc...why are we staying the night in San Juan where there are no excursions to be had?
