riffatsea Posted May 6, 2018 #51 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I also have been turned off by some snobbish comments here but I also know that the majority of cruisers don't write or read these forums and many folks were quite helpful and nice. We chose our cruise because of its itinerary and the rep for good food on Oceania. If we don't like the atmosphere we won't book again but I won't cancel based on a few posts!

njhorseman Posted May 7, 2018 #52 Share Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) I did not look at previous posts for her I dislike like it when people make up stories to discredit the cruise line or other people :rolleyes: AH yes https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=43436610&postcount=31 I certainly can't say whether her story was true or not, but I can tell you my personal experiences. On my first Oceania cruise we shared a table in the GDR with another couple at dinner early in the cruise. The elderly gentleman, who was wearing a jacket, complained about passengers who didn't follow the dress code by not wearing a jacket to dinner. I don't know if his vision was so bad that he didn't see that I wasn't wearing a jacket, or his dementia was so bad that he didn't understand the implications of what he was saying (it was pretty clear that his elevator didn't go all the way to the top) or whether he was just being nasty to me. In any event, that was the first and last time we shared a table at dinner in any Oceania dining venue. On our second Oceania cruise there were some people ostensibly listening to the string quartet virtually every night before dinner, as was also our custom, who regularly would comment in a stage whisper about people who didn't meet their personal dress standards. I know I didn't, but I certainly met Oceania's published dress standards. I've been rather shocked about how many inconsiderate, rude, and self-righteous passengers I've had the displeasure of encountering on Oceania.

Rare Cruise Junky Posted May 7, 2018 #53 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I’ve been put off by comments before but then I’ve seen reality with pictures onboard. I don’t think anyone has anything to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suspaul Posted May 7, 2018 #54 Share Posted May 7, 2018 not to disagree but since no suit or a tie was ever required on Oceania I find it hard to believe you may be thinking of another cruise line No, I am not an idiot, it was O but why am I trying to defend myself because you have issues believing me?

Rare LHT28 Posted May 7, 2018 #55 Share Posted May 7, 2018 No, I am not an idiot, it was O but why am I trying to defend myself because you have issues believing me? no one called you an idiot ....again making things up confused maybe ??? Here is the thread where someone made the comment https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2072069 It appears it was on the Crystal forum that some said that I cannot believe anyone on this forum would say your DH need a jacket, suit to sail since it is not required on Oceania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted May 7, 2018 #56 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I looked through the link that Lyn sent -- not thoroughly, but I read a number of the later posts. I didn't see any that sounded as if they were telling you to stay away if your DH couldn't afford a suit. There WAS one post that criticized people for trying to demean the dress policy., But the posts I saw, other than this one, sounded very helpful. And welcoming. What am I missing?

Floridiana Posted May 7, 2018 #59 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I know that Oceania recommends (or requires?) "Country Club Casual". My question is, does that apply only to the dining rooms in the evening, or does it mean all over the ship 24/7? In other words, can I wear a T-shirt or turtleneck, shorts, and sandals or flip-flops around the ship? Where do Island shirts fit into the dress code? Yes you can. Country club casual is for the dining room and the specialty restaurants. Bathing suit is only for the pool. Island shirts are fine everywhere. However, the ship's interior is often too cold for skimpy tropical clothing. I wore long linen pants and a nice pashmina voluntarily on my hot weather cruises. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
