Popcorn on the Riviera

[lel5344]

We are new to Oceania and we have booked the Riviera for a British Isles cruise in June 2023.

 

I understand that popcorn is available for movies on the outdoor screen, but what about in inclement weather such as we are likely to experience? 

 

Kind of a mundane question, I know, considering the food on Oceania. Popcorn is just a preferred snack for me.

 

Thanks!

I have never seen any movies outdoors. They are shown in the theater, or only have been there when I have been on the Riviera or Marina. They do have popcorn when they show a movie. Julia

I think your thinking of another cruise line  like Princess, RCL, Carnival or such..    Never saw any outdoor movie or even a screen   Heck  never saw an indoor movie either...   Likewise  no popcorn in any event     Never seen it in all my cruises

Julia has it correct, popcorn when they have movies in the Theater room. I've seen it frequently.

Thank you.  What is the big screen on the pool deck used for?

I saw it on a travel agent posted video tour from the fall of 2019, which is post-refurbishment, I believe.

Definitely not for Oceania.

Looks like the TA picture you saw labeled Oceania must have been a picture of a Princess ship. They call it MUTS, movies under the stars. it's actually a very cool way to watch movies. If the weather is a bit chilly there are lap blankets to wrap up in and popcorn is available.

What you are seeing beyond the pool is a screen that shows the ship's position, not a movie screen,

Thank you. That clears that up.

Movies were shown three times in the Riviera Lounge on our December cruise according my copies of Currents. Can't speak to the popcorn as we didn't attend.

I think it's capable of showing movies, I know it shows pictures and logos. I wouldn't bet on it, but I think occasionally in nice climates they have had movies there.

It's behind the band stand. Aft of the pool. Maybe someone has a picture of it.

Believe it or not, we were on a cruise when they used that information screen to show a musical. It was a disaster. Very bad image, very bad sound, very uncomfortable with pulling chairs in, and cold. Never saw them try it again. Have seen many movies in lounge but they seem to always run out of popcorn very fast. Fortunately, most of the movies are fairly current.

Sometimes they show them in Horizons

In the past the info screen  did have movies on some nights

I am currently on the Regatta, halfway through the cruise.  There has been nothing in Currents about showing a movie either outdoors or in the Regatta lounge.  I don’t recall it on any O cruise I have been on.

Long ago in a far away land they had Movies Under the Stars at the pool - try to grab a lounger for two - they provided blankets for cooler nights. They also had movie matinees in the afternoon. I’m sure the popcorn is near! I’ve attached photos past Currents (they may be rotated). Jimmy

On Riviera this past January, they showed a football game on the outdoor screen (I think you could also have watched it in your cabin.

It didn’t look good on the outside screen as we passed by it.

On a sea day, we watched a movie in the Lounge onboard Sirena; popcorn and soft drinks were plentiful.

I have seen movies outside on Marina and Riviera..

Just off the ship last week and "yes" there is a large screen out there.....only saw/noticed it in the evenings.....never with a movie showing however....just advertisement or Oceania logo type notices.

On Riviera 12/13-23/21 all the movies were shown in the Lounge. The "Wednesday Afternoon Movie" was Beans at 1415, the Day 5 "Afternoon Movie" was National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation at 1430, the "Saturday Afternoon Movie" was Ma Belle, My Beauty at 1345, the "Monday Afternoon Movie" was Falling for Figaro at 1415, and on Day 10 due to inability to tender they added a 2nd "Wednesday Afternoon Movie" It's A Wonderful Life at 1345. Never went to any so no idea about popcorn. Never heard anyone say anything about popcorn.

 

The big electronic screen aft of the pool by Waves showed weather, location, travel, time and misc. such information throughout the day and night.
