And don't miss the skojcan caves as well. Also, I am just surprised with the comment "everything is much cheaper in Slovenia" and I always thought Slovenia is one of the most expensive countries among all the Balkan countries 🙂

we have booked a Vista cruise from Athens to Istanbul in this July stopping at many ports in Turkey. I don't know why the turkey ports were cancelled previously I just hope that they would not further cancel.

Yes I used to have these permanent press shirts for work until I outgrew them. We don't have to wear formal shirts for work if we don't need to face the business. So I have not really replenished my stock for many years and I wonder if I really needed to. I have those collared tops ,(not shirts but they have a few buttons at the top) and come with long or short sleeves but they do crease quite easily. Maybe not perspiring is the way to go in this case. Btw. I have never heard of that saying and it is quite funny and I wonder how ladies will glow from where I come from. (A place with high humidity and temperature) 😂

Yes read yours but not sure if u meant long sleeves or short sleeves polo shirt. I guess your yes means short sleeves is allowed as well.

Kind of related. For men, can we wear short sleeves polo (ie t shirt with collar) or we have to wear long sleeves polo? And I guess we have an iron board in the laundry rooms for self-service ironing or we have to send them for pressing? That's why I don't prefer to bring clothes that will crease easily. Never a fan of formal dressing.

Thanks. How about if I pair the jeans with trainers or sneakers, or do I have to wear leather shoes as a guy?

So do ppl wear jeans at night?

Ic. Thanks. So I guess they rotate every day but why are they there just for lunches and not for dinners? So that means we have to stick to GDR for lunches everyday if we want to try them all, lol.

What are the taste of the world offerings in O? And where can u find them? GDR?

Thanks for the info on this. Though we also like to leave the curtains open once in a while to stare outside at night but I guess we just need to remember to be considerate. Well, at least it is not as bad as being noisy. Thanks.

I have asked this before but did not get any response so I will ask again in this thread. Booked a gty and got assigned to a veranda state room under the bridge on deck 10 forward on Vista. Has anyone had any experiences staying in a cabin under the bridge, will that be noisy at night?

Do they teach you the basics or just assume you know? Last time in celebrity it was expecting u know and the instructor was spending the entire session chatting with the ladies.

So our guaranteed room has finally been assigned to the first concierge veranda room next to the Vista suite at deck 10 forward on the Oceania Vista. It seems the location is ok as it is not close to any noisy things. However it is directly under the bridge. So I want to ask for those who have stayed under the bridge in Vista, will that be noisy at night? I guess ppl will be walking around in the bridge and I wonder if we will hear any equipment noise as ppl say the walls are quite thin in the Vista. Also, ppl say we should try to avoid those cabins next to the staff exits/entrance. But we cannot tell where they are from the deck plan. Do we have any tips on this? (Not that it matters now as the room is assigned) But I want to know if it is near to my cabin right at the front. Thanks

Was looking at this https://www.thepreismans.com/vista23_menus.htm#grand It seems the menu changes everyday in GDR even for Jacques offerings? Maybe that's only for Vista as it no longer has that french specialty restaurant?

But I notice you get a dish of Jacques every night in GDR, isn't it better than having it only once (in specialty dining) per cruise? Ok, u don't get to pick what u want, but theoretically u can have Jacques every night 🙂

Thanks for the clarification too.

I asked that question a while ago and although the majority ppl responses were not worth it. We went for it at the end because of the priority booking to the specialty dining and the little nice to have perks like access to the spa (though u can pay $25/person/day), room service with access to the menu in GDR (but ppl said they would bring u everything in one go and there is not a table big enough to put down everything), free laundry x 3 (you can still do your own in the ship), free bottle of champagne (u will also find champagne during your meals), concerige lounge (it is not a big one) But it was only $150 difference/pax for us so we might as well try it out as it will be our first time on O. Let's see.

Sorry, do u mean there is no more lobster in Waves and pool grill on vista any more?

Wait. U mean they serve lobster tail at the buffet every night? That's awesome. We didn't even have that in regent (where there was only lunch buffets)

I have read there is afternoon tea served, so are those pastries better than than this bakery? Or are they the same thing?

If it is free then it's good as most other cruise lines will treat them as premium coffee and charges $$$. I don't mind to take that away to another larger lounge if there are other places to sit. Have never been on an O before so looking forward to having a good sip every day. Thanks

Is the coffee free in barista all day long? I am talking about cappuccino or latte. Not those special coffee (if they have any)?

Thanks so much. It will be the next few months for my opening so I will use GMT -4.

Want to ask a related question. Ppl said the reservation for advanced specialty dining opens at midnight X days before (where X depends on your cabin category). But what time zone are we talking about here? For those who have booked right when the reservation opens pls share your experiences? Thanks very much

Thanks both. Yes I never understood why they had to design the pool to be so deep, (virgin I heard was 2m deep) as if they have planned for some synchronized swimming performance. Why can't they just make it shallower on one side for those ppl who might not want to get drowned or just enjoy taking a break. Those serious swimmers can do laps on the other side. That's how they designed public swimming pools.
