I agree that dressing up a bit makes the experience more special.  What can be challenging is trying to balance packing for a 20 day cruise with not bringing too much luggage since we are flying with not under- or over-packing and either having to do laundry quite often or finding that we brought a lot of unnecessary items to lug around airports.  I am looking forward to wearing a couple of my nicer dresses that I don't wear often, and my husband will dig his old dress shirts from work out of the closet for the specialty restaurants.

My wife had the same problem for this 20 day cruise and 10 days in Florida before boarding.   Her advice repeat repeat repeat

Do you feel you fit in OK at GDR without a jacket?  Does it get cold there?

 

 

I wear a long-sleeved shirt 

On Riviera now and my wife and I have noticed more men wearing jackets in the GDR.

I wear a jacket only in the specialty restaurants. 

Last evening at THE GDR  on the Riviera the couple next to us ordered all 5 courses. My wife and I usually order 3 . Does the wait staff get annoyed?  How many courses do people usually order

Have 7:30 reservation.  What time should I arrive? Is there a bar in Toscana so I can go early and have a drink 

Just cost me $50.00 from Alamo drop off by taxi

How many DRAWerS are there in the new bathroom cabinet  and stateroom desk

How many DRAWS are there in the new bathroom cabinet  and stateroom desk

Just received the muster video from Oceania. 

Does that mean there is no Muster on board?

Boarding Riviera this week, anyone know the price of a regular manicure and pedicure?

So was your food not warm because it takes so long to get it to the back of the dining room? 

LOL I doubt that is why it might be not as hot as they like

Usually if food is delivered cold or luck warm is because it came out of kitchen that way.

Yes, that area doesn't exist on the O ships. 

I can't imagine there not being room for lounges

I'm not sure what deck you are referring to. Unless I'm mistaken Riviera doesn't have a promenade. 

On the R ships by the life boats I had the pool guy setup 2 lounges when pool Deck was full

What promenade deck on which ship are you referring to?

Sorry Riviera

I tried to look at some itineraries on Seaborn but I found their website very lacking. When trying to select the months I am interested in cruising, it just would not cooperate. I just gave up. Of course, it was on a Sunday, and I know O’s website is very wacky over the weekends as well.

Same here awful website 

Are there lounge chears on the promenade deck

You and my husband are kindred souls!!!  Sometimes it's a battle to get the stewards to comply since we have been told at least on one occasion that the supervisor would criticize them if they left the bedding untucked. In that case we spoke to the supervisor as well.

also to take those heavy bolsters and store than away LOL

When we get on board request the room stewards to make sure covers are untucked 

We cruised this in 2004 on Holland America great cruise we made the Falkland had a beautiful day. 

Did not go as far a you did to the Antarctic. We booked the Feb 7 cruise but cancelled air travel too far.

Sounds like the old days. Back in 2019 just went to GDR heard instructions then back to cabins
