Rare LHT28 Posted June 12, 2014 #26 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Maria not to start the clothing debate again but denim is allowed the GDR (without holes hopefully) just not for dinner ... I agree some could make an effort for a special luncheon Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted June 12, 2014 #27 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Maria not to start the clothing debate again but denim is allowed the GDR (without holes hopefully) just not for dinner ... I agree some could make an effort for a special luncheon Lyn Not to start this again, BUT, it's also allowed at dinner. Just not casual jeans. What we really, really need here is for everyone to read the dress code, take it at face value for what it says and quit trying to press our biases, or what your club does, or the way you dress in your life, on everyone else. No place for judgement against others as long as you are following the guidelines the hosts set. Sorry for the off topic, but it was already there. That's all I have to say about that.

pacheco18 Posted June 12, 2014 #28 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Ur correct. But on this very casual Alaska cruise on regatta people are dressed quite nicely for dinner in GDR and specialties. No jeans that I noticed in those venues at dinner. All other times super casual. Everyone is bundled up Not that I care.

Lol Just an observation Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Wore my knitted thong today in GDR and wasn't asked to change.:) Two washing machines out of order. Water pipe busted. :( Captains Party with the usual cocktails plus Martinis until 8:00 pm. :D Terrace Cafe tonite with lobster tails, calamari, etc. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roothy123 Posted June 13, 2014 #30 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) We rarely eat in the MDR (I know, unusual, but we like casual dining) and are looking forward to getting dinner from the new grill on the Terrace. We love the grill on Marina. If you go to the new grill on the Terrace (where just about ANY kind of dress is permitted, except that I believe coverups are required if you're there in a bathing suit) could you let us know what you think? I'm assuming it will be very similar to Marina (5 minute wait in line, a few minutes wait while they fix your food, then off you go with your lobster, steak, chicken, grilled veggies, potatoes, etc.) You may want to put a pair of jeans over your knitted thong, however. I've never seen bathing suits at dinner at the Terrace.... Edited June 13, 2014 by roothy123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even saw a man in his bathrobe which may have been before or after his massage. I might add there are passengers between the ages of 8-50 on this cruise. It is refreshing to see young adults and so far well behaved children. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buggins0402 Posted June 29, 2014 #33 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Knitter, You mentioned improved fitness center equipment (compared to what is on the O class ships). Any idea of brand? The quality of the fitness equipment on Marina was the only thing that was less than optimal on our recent cruise. Loved our cruise so much, we're about to book a second - on Insignia.

The quality of the fitness equipment on Marina was the only thing that was less than optimal on our recent cruise. Loved our cruise so much, we're about to book a second - on Insignia. The brand name escapes me but it was far better, In my opinion only than on the O ships. The variety of machines very similar to your local gym. You wont be disappointed. The gym was usually open before 6 am which was nice for me. A few more things about Insignia. There was no brewed coffee in Horizons. Just the coffee machines. I asked the head maître d Vladimir if he would put a few coffee pots and he did. The hot tub outside of the Canyon Ranch spa was the only thing that had not been remodeled/replaced. A few chips and cracks in the tub and the jets weren't as powerful as Marina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ronrick1943 Posted July 2, 2014 #35 Share Posted July 2, 2014 What I don't understand if the ship was just redone, why so many things that needed fixing didn't happen? It should have been...... Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Knitter Posted July 2, 2014 Author #36 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Canyon Spa said it belonged to Oceania. Oceania claimed it was the Spa's responsibility. That was really the only thing I observed because I used it one morning. The jets weren't strong enough at least for me. Everything else appeared pristine. Within the first 30 minutes of unpacking, I opened the closet and the knob came off as the screw wasn't long enough. It was fixed immediately. I suppose some things are ignored that are not really important. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad your having a great time, we just got off the Marina a few weeks ago--had a few mishaps, but so what the trip and the ship in general was great and we had a good time. Really enjoy hearing about your trip. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was impressed that the Maitre D made sure there was brewed coffee in the morning in Horizons. Its the little touch that mean so much. Glad you also enjoyed your trip on Marina.

pacheco18 Posted July 2, 2014 #39 Share Posted July 2, 2014 For what it's worth, the ladies steam room was redone and it is GORGEOUS -- lots of tiny metallic mosaic tiles (on Regatta). I imagine it's the same on all three ships. Didn't have my camera with me. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole valley is a steam room. :). Good for your skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
