Hawaii136 Posted January 12, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) We have only taken Cunard Queen Mary 2 transatlantic, but looking to do a Baltic cruise to St Petersburg . Considering Queen Victoria or Oceania marina . Like the fact that marina has 3 days in Russia. DH and I will probably choose PH room for the extra space . my brother is likely to also come, in his own cabin, at a much cheaper grade. questions: 1. What is dress code? Are there formal nights? 2. For GDR, do we make a reservation or just show up? 3. When making a reservation for dinner, can we make a reservation for 3 people and use the priority that ph gives us to book? 4. Are there self serve laundry on board? Free? Edited January 12, 2019 by Hawaii136 Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatbush Flyer Posted January 12, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) On Oceania: Country club casual. No prom nights (but no sloppy dress either) GDR - just show up Specialty restaurants- you can request lower cabin join you and he can accept when his booking window opens. (You can trade res. dates/times and get additional ones once onboard.) Self serve laundries yes- $2 wash/$2 dry If you want excellent food, skip Cunard and head for Oceania.

Classiccruiser777 Posted January 13, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 13, 2019 We’re Cunard diamond, many times on QM2 and Victoria, but feel Oceania is far better in almost all respects. Since discovering O we’ve only taken one Cunard cruise. When it comes to food there isn’t any comparison, O is far better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are plebs on Cunard but I couldn’t agree more - O is better in just about all respects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbits Posted January 13, 2019 #7 Share Posted January 13, 2019 We did the Baltic on the Marina in September of 2017. Having the 3 days in St. Petersburg was fabulous, I don’t know how you could see all there is to see in less time. If you are looking for a tour guide, I highly recommend TJ Travel and Nadia. Great customer service & wonderful tour guide who brought the city to life for our group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
