YoHoHo Posted December 8, 2010 #5 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Our documents just arrived; I can hear that clock ticking! That said it looks like this time we'll be boarding not at the the Hickory Dickory Dock but at Muelle Adosado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potterhill Posted December 9, 2010 #6 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I've been in mourning ever since we had to cancel and not make final payment. Haven't looked forward to anything this much in years.....Oh well, as DH says, "things happen for a reason." Mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CintiPam Posted December 10, 2010 #7 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Hi, Tim, thanks for posting the link. I admit that I am not someone who visits the Oceania website very often, so I appreciate the heads up. The chandeliers and wall sconces depicted are gorgeous. Only six months more for me to wait!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Mo, now you have a 'bit' of snow to take your mind off your lost cruise.....but I'm sure it makes you think of the next one....:D....stay positive!!

potterhill Posted December 10, 2010 #9 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Ha ha ha ha....... Just dug 20 bas of leaves out of the snow plow pile at end of drive.....and the forecast is for more this weekend. I don't know the total, but it it a record for sure. Over 120 cm and that was a couple days ago. Lucan, a small town just north of us got 177 cm or 5'8" for those who are metric-challenged....

Cookie1 Posted December 10, 2010 #10 Share Posted December 10, 2010 We are only 45 minutes east of London, and have barely a skiff of snow right now. Its unbelievable whacky weather around here. I have heard we will be pummelled by snow on Sunday/Monday, and all my kids are praying for snowday on Monday! To all those lucky cruisers on the Marina in January, I hope you post many reviews, pictures and comments on these boards so the rest of us can enjoy them in anticipation :) Thanks for the link to the blog, I spent many happy hours reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpa66 Posted December 11, 2010 #11 Share Posted December 11, 2010 It is so beautifully designed...it like a modern - 50's- Hollywood - glamour-look....love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sldispatcher Posted December 11, 2010 #12 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Well, the cruise documents arrived. It is our first on Oceania. Very nice and personalized brochure. Looks like it has everything we enjoy in cruises...food, nice staff, food, nice smaller ship, food, appealing shipmates, food, and generous details without spilling the beans. Did I mention food? Unfortunately, no detailed menus for the new specialty eateries. Overall very appealing and very nicely done. I'll be posting "live from the Marina" as I'm sure others will as well. Will be unique to read different opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mparis184 Posted December 11, 2010 #13 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I am interested in knowing about the entertainment and the lectures on the Marina - does anyone have any information? Marion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted December 11, 2010 #14 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I don't think O ever posts who the lecturers will be precruise. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sldispatcher Posted December 15, 2010 #15 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Okay...have made 2 culinary class reservations and 1 excursion reservation. I will be curious to see how many people actually sign up for the culinary classes. I was a little shocked with the scheduling. They have crowded them together and don't alway seem convenient times, but I'm sure they are structured around availability of the kitchen staff and chefs. At any rate, I am looking forward to trying this cruise line and this cruise ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mparis184 Posted December 15, 2010 #16 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I made a reservation for the 3 pasta classes. I would rather have had the classes spread out more- it's a long cruise and the classes are all together at the end. Marion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raffeer Posted December 15, 2010 #17 Share Posted December 15, 2010 The Chocolate Class was scheduled at 4pm. Hmmmm 4pm class vs. 4pm tea? Tough choice. Family vote - unanimous. Tea wins. Oh well. Next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKS Posted December 15, 2010 #18 Share Posted December 15, 2010 The Chocolate Class was scheduled at 4pm. Hmmmm 4pm class vs. 4pm tea? Tough choice. Family vote - unanimous. Tea wins. Oh well. Next time. My thoughts exactly. So I signed up for the pasta classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mparis184 Posted December 15, 2010 #19 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Tea time also interferes with trivia. I have to be at tea promptly at 4PM and leave by 4:25PM. So much to do - so little time. Marion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted December 15, 2010 #20 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I think the scheduling is different on different cruises On ours the chocolate class was at 1pm on a port days or during the Canal transit Trivia we have seen at 10 am, 2pm, 9 pm & 5 pm etc... so it is flexible also ;) Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time. This is for the maiden voyage of the Marina. Trivia?? NOTHING interferes with Trivia! Having said that I've never had a conflict with Tea. The CD's we've interacted with seem to appreciate the importance of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomC Posted December 16, 2010 #22 Share Posted December 16, 2010 How do you know the schedules of trivia?? I would love to see something that gives some information on how the days at sea will be organized. Sleeping in, breakfast in the stateroom are a given--but what else is being offered?? Is there a website I can look at?? Cannot wait for this cruise. It's my most anticipated cruise since my first one back in 1985! Mom C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mparis184 Posted December 17, 2010 #23 Share Posted December 17, 2010 You often have a good idea of how events will be scheduled on ships you have cruised on before. However, since the Marina is so new we really don't know what their activities/times will be - we are all guessing at this point. We will know soon enough.
