LOL, you should probably skip authentic Gyro places too. Like others have said, your dining experience can change from night to night. But we have noticed service on the ships is better than service at restaurants in Colorado. One reason we continue to book new cruises.
See the local history and the sites. How are the private islands? Any ports we should just stay on the ship? 14 to 17 days. Would like to visit both the Eastern and Western Caribbean.
LOL, don't sit with us! On our last cruise, we were at a table for eight at the 8pm seating and we were always the last table to leave the dining room, 10 to 10:30. One time I told our head waiter to go to bed, "we will lock up".
We had Mass on our Voyage of The Vikings this Summer. The priest did take some time off. Mid cruise he got Covid-19 and went into quarantine. He was fine.
We were recently on a 35 day cruise and we laughed about how that must be easier for the room stewards to remember. Just imagine a three day or seven day cruise!
Although if you are a non-essential government employee who thinks the shutdown will take about three weeks, book a last minute cruise and then come home and get your backpay. Risky but it could work out.
The higher interest rates are killing much of my portfolio. And it has to worry companies with a lot of debt on their books like cruise lines when it comes time to refinance those loans.
For decades, we booked our own cruises but now find our travel agent to be more than worth it. She is very good at watching if cruise prices fall and gets us good benefits onboard.
Warning! Greenland visitors might want to bring netting to protect your face and head from bugs. They weren't biting badly but they did want to get in your eyes and noses.
That is bad. So sorry to hear about your bad experience, our butler complained because we weren't using him enough. Have to love that attitude. I hope you complained to Oceania.
