I completed the survey on our last 2 cruises. We won the $100 SBC on the first cruise and when I went down to advised the shops and bars were closed and we only had $9 of expenses I was told contact corporate. I went home and advised my travel agent and she got it posted to our next cruise. On that cruise they announced the 2 winners on the PA. Kind of nice, since a co passenger advised me that it was good to know someone actually won the $100. On our last cruise, no one announced the winners and now I know why. I agree that the on line one is very cumbersome to do. I like the mid cruise survey better and found that they do pay attention to comments since they immediately acted on one and the other they made a personal visit about my safety concern.

Thanks! I thought the drink prices looked very good and much better than Oceania's bar prices. I think SJD1117 has it right: everyday on a Viking cruise is a happy day!
-
WE are arrive at 5 am on our departure day using the Viking air. Will there be anyone to pick us up or will we have to wait?
-
How disappointing that Viking does not offer this. It brings people into the lounges for mingling and conversation. WE have the ss package so it does not matter.
-
We will be on the Sky on their San Juan to Iberia cruise in March. How does Viking handle this? 2 for 1 or what? We will have the silver beverage package but wondered what they offered. Thanks.

I assume that all of the ocean liners have to same bar menus. We will be on the Sky. Does anyone have a bar menu for review? I wonder if they offer Pear William on their list.
-
If I bring my own mug will they fill it for me? I planned to bring a water thermos since the ones they give don't keep liquids cold so I guess I'll add a double duty one instead.
-
Wow! That is good news! Will this be on all ships?
-
Having been on the PG, go for the longest PG cruise you can afford. The land stay will be disappointing. The best way to see FP is by chip. The Gauguinines who provide entertainment and enrichment really add to the experience.

We boarded a cruise once that just came from a trans pacific and they were out of lots of the listed wines at embarkation lunch but promised by dinner they would restocked. And they were! The longer cruises seem to have the most issues with wine stocking.
-
We found the included wine list to be decent. We found after trying a few different ones we settled on the same for every meal. I'm always surprised when people expect 5 star wine.
-
Well now, here's the real question: pumpkin pie or pecan pie? With ice cream or whipped cream?
-
Has anyone booked a cruise during the Thanksgiving holiday and how was the Thanksgiving dinner? Does the ship have all of the dining venues with the same holiday meal or just the main dining room? I'm a traditionalist and love the typical holiday meal. Our adult kids prefer either steak or tacos so we are taking a holiday cruise! We will be on the Marina.
-
We will be on the Marina at the end of November and wondered when these parties will be held since we don't want them to conflict with our specialty restaurant reservations.

Cruise Review August 17h - 7 Days
Cruisedreamer1 replied to MrBill923's topic in Paul Gauguin Cruises
Bonine always worked for me. Yes, the crew is amazing and really tries to make one's stay memorable and pleasant. If I had one compliant, it would be that the ship didn't have enough shade on the pool deck. Most important, French Polynesia is beautiful and the water amazing. -
It's crew, crew, crew that make the difference.
-
I understand their wanting to charge if one cancels but what is unsettling is that the corporation wants their final payment sooner now a days! I guess it's due to Covid and lost revenue.
-
We just saw that the long shore men are advising their contract ends on September 30rd. Will the cruise industry be impacted by this possible action?
-
For our November 27th Marina cruise the cooking classes are full. Does the cruise line/ship do a wait list? Thanks!
-
Thank you for all of your input. I neglected to advise we will probably chose a Caribbean cruise.

First time on Oceania, basic, maybe even silly questions

If you want a larger shower, you can go shower in the spa changing room. There's lots of space, good amenities and lots of towels -
We traveled with our adult daughter in our cabin. She had a fabulous time and we think she had a better time than us and we loved our experience on the PG. Back in the day, the company offered free 3d person paying only taxes, port fees and airfare. It was a tight squeeze but our daughter was willing to come back 3x with us which tells you something!!!
