We sailed from LA to Papeett on Serina 2017. Booked day rate at intercontinental . Took a few phone calls from US and one call from the concierge on the ship in the middle of the Pacific to confirm. Great hotel have stayed there 3 times since 1997.

Was it warm enough to layout at the pool?

We are booked January 31 for 18 days. On Riviera this year was at the pool for our 2 lounges at 7.15 am..stayed there till wife came down to join me never left the lounge LOL

If it's a week day have to figure one and half to two hours travel time

We always give the person who delivered our breakfast from room service $2.00 or 3 dollars We have sailed Oceania 14 years in a row.

I notice on your photos of the pool deck that there is only one row of lounges in the shade surround the pool. On the Riveara and Marina there are 3 rows. I can imagine big arguments over those lounges LOL

I agree but those spaces are far from the view of the pool area

The thing I noticed on the picture of the pool deck was that the overhang only allows one row of lounge chairs in the shade As the Riveara and Marina have three rows with 2 in the shade.

About 10 yrs ago got cash with my CC at reception and they chait as a purchase. Last year on Riviera asked for cash reception told me to go to casino and use my atm card.

According to Oceania web site the PH boast a great walk in closet

I've seen photos of walk in closet for PH is there one of the Veranda closet? A Veranda couple.

Exactly like the bathroom on the Riveara but smaller because of the new position of the bedroom closet

Anyone Have a picture of the closest on the Vista on the Vista A and B cabins?

Yes there is. I suggestyou go to the reservation desk the day you want to dine. Ask for a 2 if not ask for a share. Once you make the reservation go see the matre d of the restaurant around 6 before they open and explain to him or her your special problem that 2 table is what you really need under your special surcumstan. Most Times you will be accommodated

Yes

I would think it would be in Currents announcing the Seder dinner and asking people who want to attend to notify them.

In the mid 80s we where sailing into Leningrad on a Saturday on the Royal cruise lines Royal Oddysey . A few of us asked to have Friday night services. The purrser asked us how many pray shawls we needed how many prayer books and how many skull caps. We said around 20 he then told us this ship was formally the S.S. Slalom so they had hundreds of these items in storage . The we realised all the painting on the ship where Shigal.

This past February on Riviera I went to reservation desk made a shared reservation for that night at Toscana Went to Toscana at 6 pm spoke to matre and told him like to change for 2 alone no problem shook his hand great dinner at 7:30

I agree just off Riviera ate 3 times in Toscana Aragosta Fra Diavola almost as good as Dom Pepise in Ozone Park Queens

A few years ago on Nautica we where served Japines marinated steak. In Brooklyn this would be called a Roumanian Tenderloin tasted great

Exactly what I was thinking.

Off topic for a minute. Looking at schmaitic on O site the A veranda staterooms looks like a walk in closet and. Shower not as long as in the Riveara make over.,No closet doors side of bed.

IMHO flying in the same day is very risky especially flying into another country. Go the day before book hotel for the evening have dinner start your vacation relaxed for embarkation

Yes they are have them in our A cat. Also

Oceania has an overnight. That the best and only way to go. You leave the ship around 2 am drive to airport and fly to Bagan. The hotel they use was excellent. The tour must be on Oceania web site
