  1. I would prefer the chaos of the muster drill rather than experience that chaos in a real emergency. Any little practice will help folks to know what to expect and how to react in a real emergency. An online demo doesn't provide that.
  2. Having tried both concierge and PH, we now go for the PH. We prefer the extra room of the PH. We don't have an affinity for staring at the wake, and enjoy watching the coastlines when arriving and departing from the port, and the water passing by from the side balconies.
  3. Good clarification, FF. But the subtly of "during the cruise on which you accrue your 20th cruise credit" as opposed to "after accruing 20 cruise credits" is sometimes lost in translation.
  4. Tuxes not required, though some posters say they wear them.. The rules suggest a dark suit, but jackets and slacks seem to be Ok with a tie.
  5. Both Seabourn and Silversea have formal nights.
  6. Just remember that if you make reservations for your friends to join you, it uses one of their on line guaranteed reservations.
  7. Guess we agree to disagree. It looked perfect to me. 🍕
  8. And if it's not listed as a GV, he would get 2 booking numbers and 2 credits, and not be able to treat it as A GV...right Lyn?
  9. Is that like liver and onions with red wine?
  10. Sorry. There was no previous quote posted in the response, so it seemed to be on an island unknown. But then, I don't remember all the posts back 20 or so. Old person's memory....🙄. Guess I should be in hospice and gum my food.
  11. Here is Oceania's policy: https://oceaniacruises.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360005477653-How-many-dining-reservations-am-I-allowed-in-each-specialty-restaurant-
  12. You will need their booking number to add to the reservation. If you add them to your booking, it uses one of their advance, online reservations, and vice-versa.
  13. You might be interested in knowing Europe is mandating USB-C as a standard. https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/usb-c-universal-law-receives-final-approval-in-eu/#:~:text=USB-C will become the standard in the EU.&text=The law to make USB,charging cable across the EU.
  14. Yes, but not the itinerary or port names.
  15. You can take spirits onboard...to consume in your stateroom only.
  16. On our Viking Expedition cruise from Toronto to NYC, we found the food in Viking's buffet generally better that Oceania's Terrace. Viking specialties (The Restaurant and Manfredi's) were not up to the quality of Oceania's specialties (Tuscan Steak, Toscana, or Polo). We found the land tours good to excellent. Service on Viking was superb, equal to and sometimes better than on Oceania.
  17. You are lucky, or the rules changed. I have never been able to see any of my "on hold" cruises until I paid the deposit.
  18. Probably to illustrate to those who are thinking about jumping ship, the complaints about Oceania are not unique to Oceania, and the grass may not be greener on the other lines.
  19. If you're asking about Santiago, the port is in Valparaíso.
