We took it home for ourselves. We were DIYing in the area and got VERY used to the honey.

Perfect.

I love being informed and entertained here and don't really mind aggravation but repetition? Nope. Time to hit "ignore." Bye bye.

I guess you don't know that R shiips have a few fewer. LOLOLOL.

Seems wide open to me. And we were recently in that medium low class of booking res and just took maybe one try to get something perfectly acceptable. When I have a legitimate complaint I take it to the top. I don't complain here.

Kinda like business or first class flights. You get what you pay for and it's very unattractive to complain when it was 'your' choice.

Hey, did your OH take over the keyboard?!?!

What age group buys smoothies? Despite the huge growth in the market, less than a third of the adult population currently buys smoothies. The 15-19 and 25-34 age groups are the most likely to reach for one, which the report believes may be due to their busy lifestyle or need for a hangover cure.Jan 4, 2007 Healthy eating trend sees sales of smoothies soar The Independent https://www.independent.co.uk › ... › Health News

Would you be interested in or able to do a driving trip, DIY? It's a super easy trip. Just a thought.

Very simple. So why do people complain and complain but don't change brands?

Indeed. And I'm betting O's chefs are doing something similar. (I have a Bolognese recipe that probably has 20 ingredients and takes all day to make!)

I've read your 'issue' with the smoothies and I also remember giving you info about how the people who drink smoothies don't remotely fit the demographic of people who travel on O. Also I've been reading this thread from the bottom up. It's really clear to me that you will never cruise Oceania again. Bon voyage. Sincerely.

What kinda of pizza did you order? Maybe not the kind that is popular in Iowa.

Here in Seattle, at the 'better' restaurants, I've seen menus where bread is $7-$12 for some slices. The bread is made off-site at special bakeries. We can buy whole loaves there for $8.

I didn't know that Ember is one of the specialty restaurants.

But Tex-Mex and Mexican food are quite different from one another. Google is your friend.

Por que non? Have you had them and not liked them?

Sorry about that.

Some few years ago I got a res at a pretty world famous restaurant. Opening at 90 days out. No problem.

Reading what you wrote made me very happy 🙂 And now I'm going to read it again. Simpatico!

We sailed on a 400 pax ship on an expedition to Antarctica. The food was terrific, sometimes honoring former captains of other ships. No music and no sales pitches.

Plus if you turn it over to TA if your first choice isn't available, then what?

I used to belong to an online food group called Chowhound. It got bought and sold and eventually closed up. And I understand has now reopened in a totally different way. But the original Chowhounds loathed the word "foodies." They were everything that "WE" weren't. We were into all manner of ethnic foods in countries around the world. Street food. Etc. So every time I see the word "foodie" I still cringe. So I'll mostly go along with you. For the OP I went to a sample menu of Toscana from O's website. I would suggest that they and others go to that site. https://www.oceaniacruises.com/Documents/Menus/81604521647/Toscana-Dinner-Menu.pdf Here's a simple example: Costate di Vitello a Modo Tuo Bone-In Milk-Fed Veal Chop prepared in your choice of style: Ignore the Italian and realize that every time they say "veal" it's actually beef. Maybe ignore octopus and even calamari Every part of the menu has dishes that are really nothing odd or fancy. And one can always ask for a sauce to be left off or a vegetable to be replaced. I happen to love food. I love to cook it and I love to eat it. And I love Oceania's food. Mostly.
