I, like you, absolutely love having the tub. I am glad that there will be an option moving forward for those who feel that this perk enhances their trip, while equally addressing those with an opposing view/preference. And I am sorry that you are being attacked for you decision and your opinion. Everyone has their own and should be able to voice them, especially in a forum such as this, without being made to feel or told they are "wrong". But most of all I am also sorry you will be missing out on the Oceania experience. I hope you will reconsider!

@steamboats The tour of your penthouse is incredible and so detailed! It is the best tour I have seen done. Also, I was able to have google translate into English for me. Thank you! We will be in a PH on Riviera in October and, in the past, have only sailed in a concierge or Oceania suite, so we very much appreciate the time and effort it took to share this sneak peek with us all.

I was just coming on to post this newsflash. For us tub lovers, this is reason to celebrate indeed!

H10 Casa Mimosa - located on the same block as the La Pedrera building. We had a wonderful stay and a great room with a full balcony where we invited friends for cocktails overlooking courtyard and La Pedrera.

Really? This was not reveled to us. We were in an Oceania Suite last October and didn't know there was a tender fast-track... is this for PH and up? We are in a PH in October. I too would feel a bit uncomfortable but it would be good to know if we were faced with a time crunch! I can't say we were wowed by our butler's performance. We barely asked for anything except a standing order of tea and pot de crème every night. We even only ordered breakfast in the suite once. Whenever we asked about specialty restaurants we were told to call ourselves. We did get a very detailed unnecessary tutorial on the smart TV. Admittedly, it was Riviera's first trip back... and it probably depends on the luck of the draw.

I have to agree with you about the lobster... never my choice on board. But then again we are from New England, so self-admittedly (and perhaps unfairly) our baseline expectations for lobster in general may be "earth moving".
