FetaCheese

Toscana on Regatta, September 2023 Dover Sole, perfectly filleted table side, and very nicely prepared, presented, and of high quality. TC Grilled lamb chops and grilled shrimp -- cooked to my preference, and of excellent quality. TC Fine cheeses at both lunch and dinner, both imported and domestic, always a varied selection. (But never saw Feta Cheese on the board!)

Had V "free Air" for Sea TA, FLL/BCN, March 2023. Cruise booked very close in, about 6 weeks. Flying from Philly. V assigned air day after booking/payment. No air plus. Both flights were Nonstops on AA. Was especially happy, as both were at very convenient departure times. I know from V Air experience, it doesn't always work out that way.

Have not made mock bookings on O, yet I have saved cruises in my account, and never receive calls. This happens to me when looking at a Viking cruise. If I start a mock booking, entering all personal info: Names, address, email etc., I receive tel call and email from any random V agent. I ignore and don't respond to either, as I've used the same good V agent, who I'll call for more info. He never bothers me with follow up or pressure to book, just answers my questions .

@Heidi13 Thank you, Andy.

When I 1st started cruising on O, R--ships I saw the "R" on the room service coffee pots. Thought it meant Regular coffee, not decaf. Years later, realized the R was Renaissance stylized logo!

@Hlitner Thanks again for your live from. Enjoyed following along.

Agree, Ray Carr is a fine CD. Personable, friendly, engages with pax anytime.

@Heidi13 @chengkp75 Oceania Vista experienced a power outage 1 or 2 days ago, restored to 90% soon after. OP @Hlitner would like you to comment, if possible. Ship is only about 1 year old. Look for the topic: "Live from the Vista - March 27 (Miami) to May 1 (Trieste)" over on main Oceania Board. Topic is very active, so probably on Oceania Board page 1. Thank you.

Updated for Ketchikan, Alaska. September 2023 Expand list. For info.

@IWantToLiveOverTheSea Please add Ketchikan, Alaska to list. Thanks

In my experience, when getting info for a specific cruise -- from a V agent -- one must give promo code to agent. They will not tell you if a promo exists on that cruise. Additionally, V will not combine promos, as @Squawkman has stated above.

All pax most certainly were frightened hearing the alarm, especially in early am, when most would be sleeping. When power is lost, a huge problem, so suspect Captain wanted to immediately alert pax and crew, in the event other emergency procedures would need to be implemented. Good that 90% power was restored quickly, and further measures were avoided. Being such a new ship, a thorough investigation will be initiated, to determine probable cause. Hope all pax and crew can get some rest today.

Suggest you go with open mind, then form your own opinions. In my opinion, a very small % of pax post on CC. I've met pax on several cruises who have never heard of CC.
