OMG, thank you for the Miami information! I'm on my way to Miami on Friday to board SL on Sunday, mom guilt kicking in, all laundry is done 😆

Do you guys think short sleeve pajamas? Shorts or pants? I have all kinds 🥱💤

Since I have not seen this set up for myself, where do you think is the best place to put the camp mattress? I don't plan to use the bed in the L configuration at all, just one queen size? Being that we have our own cabins, and my friend and I are next to each other, we're hoping to open up the divider panel out on the balcony and use that as our hangout space.

Do you guys think a 2-4 inch inflatable camp mattress underneath would help? Did anyone snap a pic of the cover pulled back? I feel like I will sink too far into foam topper, going soon and try to think of inexpensive possibilities... thanks!

Sailing soon on Scarlet Lady and my schedule reads: Bingo with the Diva 2-3pm | The Red Room, Deck 6

Virgin Voyages, got moved.

I agree, if I'm springing for a whole bottle, what I do with it is my business. If I end up with a whole lot of bar tab leftover, gonna hit every every place I can, and see if I can't come up with something to bring home. Maybe a good tip might help the barkeep see logic? I can't imagine using up that bar tab, as someone who only drinks an occasional glass of wine these days. That's a lot of juice and fancy coffees, I'd rather get it in loot and hit the spa!

Thanks for bringing us along CineGraphic! Appreciate you taking the time 🙂

Thanks for the heads up, the mattress comfort is important to me 😴 I'm not a kid anymore, and all those little insults to your body add up, LOL, plus, I have nerve damage on one side. Do you think that the mattresses could be placed one on top of the other? I'll be in my cabin solo, so was thinking that could be an option? Do you think a foam topper might make it worse?

LoL wouldn't you think that an abandon ship message might be a brighter color like red?

Can you buy a bottle of wine in a restaurant and open it back in your room?

What is the festival show?

I promise to be more careful in the future, lol 🙃

Bummer 🤔 I guess I'll be ordering that mattress topper (delivered to my pre cruise hotel) and checking my bag on the flight for my pillow. A really bad night could mess up my entire cruise, and with only five nights, I don't want to take a chance. I'll give the mattress topper to my room attendant after I'm done, there are some very inexpensive ones that might save the day. Oceania has the best beds I have ever slept in, no problem settling in. I think that the sofa idea didn't really pan out as well as they had hoped, I wonder what percentage of people actually use them that way? Maybe they'll revisit in the future. I considered upgrading to a suite, but I didn’t know what I would do with all that alcohol, LOL

Here's a video unpacking breakfast from their first Ship Eats order - though it seems there is a zipper on the side to help unpack?

You don't have to do one way flight for separate cities on the same itinerary, they're called multi - city tickets and can be the same price as round trip airfare to one city, except you get direct flights in both directions instead of having to stop in Barcelona on the way back. I've done this many times. No one wants extra stopovers. I tried to book as direct flights as I possibly can, but I do live near a major airport so it's a bit easier. I always booked directly with the airline, less middlemen the better. Leaving during the middle of the week is always less expensive as well. I just did a mock booking out of Chicago to Barcelona on a Thursday in September of 2024 for 2 weeks returning directly to Chicago from Athens for about $1,300

Not sure if anyone has another voyage to compared it to, but how do you find these ships taking the waves on the open sea? I got seasick for the first time ever this last June on a small cruise ship and boy was that hard! 🤢 I grew up near the water and have had boats, never been a problem. Now it's something I'm going to have to think about, LOL. 🚢

Have you had any more luck with this showing up? If not I would definitely call them.

Hi there! 🙂 if you can possibly swing it, I would take him! My son is in college, we just went in June, and I swear it was the best vacation of our lives! Clearly, he was not in the children's program, but if I could have swung it when he was younger, that would have been fantastic. We've taken our son to 26 countries so far, and traveling with children may not be optimal for some, it really opens up their vision of the world. The kids I saw on board the program were having a great time, and so were the parents. The ship is full of nice, well mannered, curious travelers, looking to further themselves and explore the world - you won't find many folks at the bar, crying into their drinks, looking for something to slam. If you do it I hope you have a great time! 🧜🏻‍♀️

Everyone here has been so kind to answer all my crazy questions in detail 😊 I have also held back for fear of ridicule in the beginning, but I feel pretty much at home here now, and fwiw, I hope that's okay with everybody else, LOL 😅

How about chicken, waffles and bacon? I think that I might be gaining some weight on this trip, hope I can get into some of those fitness classes, LOL

Wow 😍 that's awesome looking! Thanks for posting 🙂 and bacon? I love bacon. I don't think there's anything that isn't better with bacon, as long as it's not pale, soft, and wimpy.

I was looking forward to RD fried chicken and that chocolate taco and steak at Pink Agave! Sometimes the pictures look better than the food, and I was really hopeful for that chocolate taco, LOL, glad to hear that you find it better 😊 I've seen pictures of a slice of watermelon at razzle dazzle with lots of stuff on it that just looks beautiful, is that for real?

Is it just in Razzle Dazzle or have the menus been changed in the other restaurants as well? I've been drooling over this stuff for months, I hope things aren't too different...🤔

Do you think that this is a permanent change to the menu ? Are the menus different because it's a transatlantic and the provisioning is different, or because it's leaving from Europe? I've got Razzle Dazzle set up for my first night, and it sounds disappointing. I hope things haven't changed too much and that you have a fantastic time.
