EJL2023

Took a cruise last year with the SIL. She talked more about the people she met in the laundry rooms than anywhere else on the ship! 🤣

Never been, but I also believe they do NOT have self service laundry rooms, correct?

Last three biz class flights we have booked all had best pricing just shortly after made available.

Yeah, I realize that. Just thinking perhaps the OP would be able to lead me in the right direction since the issue was lack of info regarding menus on the Oceania website. So assumed the OP would be able to share where that information is on the two that he was comparing to Oceania since I was not finding any more info on their websites compared to Oceania. 😉

Could someone help me on this issue. I have checked out the Regent’s website. For the restaurants such as Compass Rose and the Verandah cafe I seem to be able to only find one Sample Menu for Dinner and one for lunch, etc. for CR. I am hoping someone might be able to show me where the 14 different menus show up for each day on their rotation. I must be missing it…thanks. Also I can not find them on the Viking website, even using their search feature. Found a very generic description of The Restaurant, but no samples. Now I’m curious what all these two lines offer. Not to good I guess on finding things on here. Any assistance welcomed. Thanks.

The additional information makes it more understanding. But as others have noted that is just an example of their menu for one evening. And Red Ginger is also good.

Having a hard time understanding that if burgers and pasta are ok on the TC……how could the items in the GDR and specialty restaurants and the grill station in the TC not at least be a bit interesting. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not knowing which company is making this offer it is difficult to know for sure the terms. But I have seen an online company that is offering this option to take the OBC or Prepaid Visa. However, when clicking through the offer and the terms and conditions, it states the OBC is not refundable and any OBC not used by the final night of the cruise is lost.

Could it have anything to do with flex air dates?

Did they say they wanted a Christmas cooking class specifically?? I think what they want sorted out is they see no classes at all available for their cruise from 12/17-1/3. Whereas someone else is on the first leg of their extended cruise (12/17-12/27) and already have access to classes.

There doesn’t seem to be a set date. We also have a cruise in October and those classes showed up a week before the June 2025 cruise. Just have to be vigilant and keep checking as never know when they may appear.

Not bad! I wish I had that success rate in my own kitchen! 🤣

Do they show up in your online account? We have a cruise in June, 2025 and about two weeks ago, much to our surprise, the culinary classes showed up when in our account. We booked 2 classes online. The appropriate credits were taken from our account and we received confirmation email. Final payment on this cruise is in January.

Had same wording in our non blue envelope package for our Sirena cruise in January.

So…..any fun trick or treating for Halloween? Well, at least the treating part! Beyond the just being on Oceania treat part that is. 🍫

Yeap, a quick search on here and you can find people complaining and knowing that staff is accepting tips to do it on Seaborn and Silversea! And Oceania forum needs to get with the program, they’re called Chogs per the delightful folks on those forums!

Yeah, as addressed already in several other threads.

All of this and the OP even stated they have no idea if any money was transitioned.

Possibly because over Thanksgiving? Some people would not prefer to be gone over the holiday perhaps, especially since a few were lost during Covid. Now I know some love to travel during the holidays with multiple generations, but that doesn’t seem to be the type of travelers that cruise on Oceania for the most part. I know we had a cruise booked over Thanksgiving this coming year and we decided not to because of another lost chance for a family holiday, and let’s face it they are dwindling as we all age. Instead we ended up booking a cruise where we will be back before the holidays.

No, that is for Oceania Suites and above.

Agree…..looks like you have your choice for either of those options. And I know that Riviera was misspelled in my post above, but I did so as that is how it was spelled in the title of the mentioned thread.

See post #18 above, it may answer your question.

Per my understanding and something posted before on another thread, all of the B4 and A4 staterooms kept the separate shower and tub. Again, this as I recall. Someone had posted a pic of a letter they had received. Just found thread, it is Riveria Bathtub Updates and post 1 has the letter. As I noted, shower and separate tub remains in all A4 and B4. 9007 specifically listed.

Not on this current cruise, but in February we were on Sirena in suite 8057, which is below the TC. We did hear some rolling of the carts when they were doing set up and take down of the buffet stations. Of course for most of these situations we were not in our room for take down after breakfast (off ship) and most for lunch (off ship) and for dinner as usually out and about on the ship. I guess when most noticeable was on a sea day and we were in our room more often during these times. Even then it would typically be for only 20 minutes or so and still not crazy loud. With regard to early breakfast set up….if for some reason I was already awake I would hear it, but it never actually woke us up. And we are both pretty light sleepers.

It is $7649 with airfare and $6249 without air.
