Yes, I remember American Tan very well! I don’t wear tights now, but do wear leg make-up. You can get a good result if you wanted to wear a shorter length dress or skirt! 
For maxi dress I wouldn’t bother, just wear cute sandals and painted nails. 
I wear dressy trousers and sparkly tops too, hence, no tights. 

Is water provided in the staterooms and replenished daily if you are Deluxe Drinks Package please? 

I very much enjoyed your review and pictures. We will be on QV next year with a similar itinerary,although over 14 nights. It's a while since we sailed Cunard so your observations have been welcome.

The sofa is more of a duck-egg colour I think. Hope this helps.

We love deck 11 on the Marina and Riviera. We are booked in 11008 again in October (next door to 11010) and have sailed in this cabin before, as well as 11006 and 11007. It is a great location, near enough to the Executive Lounge but far enough away not to hear foot traffic and any doors (not that there is much anyway). We prefer deck 11 to deck 10 as there are less cabins, but as Jim and Stan have pointed out, only forward cabins - to evade the public areas above. I'm sure you'd love it. Hope this helps.

I always try the prawns at the buffet - and they always taste like mild bleach! My OH always laughs at me. Wouldn't swap O though, good things by far out number the bad. :)

Yum to almost EVERYTHING on the O ships! :)

 

I found myself going nuts on Sushi on our last cruise for lunch AND breakfast... I was trying very hard to not gain the "freshman 15"... Well, that attempt failed by day 5 as I figured "what the heck?" There's just too much good food. And truth be told, they make some great bacon for breakfast... Scrambled eggs, not so much...

 

Ironically my biggest weakness is the little sandwiches they put out in Baristas. I spend a lot of time in the library/computer/coffee area working on my travel blog, etc. on O class ships and those little yummy bites are just TOO "handy" and quite plentiful (favorite is the tuna salad)!!! :rolleyes:

 

DH would not walk from the pool area to the elevators on the port side just because those milkshakes are way too tempting! We all have our vices I guess. :)

 

Point of the story - you paid for it - enjoy it. We always go on a strict low cal diet and double our exercise for a month post-cruise. So easy to put it on, so hard to take it off!

So true can appreciate all of that. :) 2 weeks to go!

We have cruised with a broad spectrum of other lines but the first time with O.

WE have booked the Istanbul to Athens cruise on the 22nd September.

In with the booking we have got the premium drinks package. We are wine drinkers and the wine is by the glass I believe. If we bring some on board for the cabin do we have to pay corkage on it if we drink it in there.

Any advice for us on anything that differs on here than other cruise lines would be welcome. Thanks

Hi there, usually no problem bringing wine onboard for cabin consumption. You won't need more than what's in the PDP for restaurants, bars etc. The standard of wine by the glass is very drinkable, in fact very good.

We too are on this cruise, you'll have a fabulous time on O. :)

but, as so many of you, couldn't leave Holly (our cat) for so long! But as you're all so generous with your postings, we'll live vicariously through you!:) Looking forward to all

Glenda and Tony

Sorry, but I'll ask again. Can you buy package more than 4 months out?

 

thanks,

marilyn

Yes, I can buy on-line here in the UK for upcoming cruise in March Hope this helps.

You do get a Butler on PandO - but we find the suite perks much better on Princess. And the Sabatini breakfast was the icing on the cake!!

If I remember rightly we did get a bottle of champagne, chocs, flowers etc, together with the nightly canapes - but I prefer Princess - just our choice though and we do still cruise with PandO from time-to-time.

Hope this helps.

Sounds like you had a great time, thanks for sharing. We have to wait until next March for Island Princess Panama - the Oceana in September and we are trying Ventura in Jan 09! Seems a long way off.:(

Best Wishes
