    I only asked if I could bring her.
  2. cruisingxpert
    I brought my sister with me on my free cruise. No extra cost to bring her. The catch is that the person you invite cannot live in the same household

    The balcony is reasonably wide but not deep. It has a lounger. The cabin is a lot larger than a penthouse. If you are going on Vista, I find the new layout to be disappointing. The Marina and Riviera Oceania Suite Layout is much nicer in my opinion.

    Enquiring minds want to know if you could have 2 devices logged in at same time. O says it will start October 1st but others are saying you can do it now.

    Don't get discouraged if most ports show rain. I did one for our May cruise and it was showing a lot of rain. More than half the ports we docked in said" you picked a great day" "we had rain yesterday" We got lucky and seemed to be arriving just after the rain. We ended up with mostly great weather.

    You can build a custom itinerary with weather on this site. To get a slightly fancier version you can pay a very small premium to get it for 6 months https://cruiseoutlook.com/

    There were no loungers on the extended concierge cabins on our May cruise on Vista and the people I know that asked for them were refused. It may be because they didn't have any extra. I would love to know if they can get them now.

    Thank you for that explanation. That probably explains what I couldn't quite describe except to say I really don't like the taste. What is in Monopole that they put in your cabin? I don't mind it. When the Regent crowd mutinied over Germain, I understand that they replaced it with Monopole

    Back to the original question. Dominique Nicolle was the General Manager when Vista started in May but I imagine he is on vacation by now.

    Oh well. It was exciting to think about it for a few minutes.
  11. cruisingxpert
    Thank you. That's great news.

    If you reach elite in the first few days of cruise, can you get Elite benefits for rest of cruise or does it not take effect until you go on another cruise? I've looked at all the FAQ but couldn't find an answer.

    Thanks. I like your cc name. That's what I say to everyone- I have to work to feed my cruising addiction.

    In your dreams😛

    What do they have by the glass? Please don't tell me it's the awful Germain that Oceania has.
  16. cruisingxpert
    They had Montaudon by the glass last year. Has that disappeared?

    If you were booking the extended balcony to get a lounger, Vista isn't allowing a lounger on the extended balconies- at least that was the case on the May Vista cruise. Penthouses do get 2 loungers on Deck 7.

    &133 and 7128 are normal size penthouses. The 2 aft ph with wraparound balconies are 7130 and 7135. They are about a foot narrower than the standard sized penthouse. I move the table and chairs at end of bed to in front of love seat and remove small coffee table and chair. The walk in closet is smaller than in 7128 and 7133.

    We moved the benches under the sideboard by the table.

    Yes there is. In Terrace they have some nice smelly cheeses that I never see here in Canada Livarot and Munster(that's not a spelling error) Nothing like Muenster. Even the Brie is much better than anything at home.
  21. cruisingxpert
    Good memory. I love the creamy smelly cheeses. It was Hambagahle that identified the Tete de Moine on that cart. I had never heard of it. The one unfortunate thing that was missing from our Odyssey menu on Vista was the French butter
  22. cruisingxpert
    What did they serve?
  23. cruisingxpert
    When have they served anything else, recently? It's been Germain on all my cruises in the past few years. July 22 Dec 22 and May23
  24. cruisingxpert
    That's what we did on the May 20th Vista cruise. We were told min and maximum was 8 people. When we arrived in Privee, the table was set for 10 people. Communication seems to be an issue. When you pay the Odyssey or Dom price for the meal, there is no $300 charge for the room.

    The Monopole in the cabins is better than Germain. If O won't get better champagne by the glass, how about switching? Serve Monopole by the glass and stick the Germain in the cabins. I believe Monopole is what Regent switched to.
