No one ever said that bringing wine on board is tacky. What was said is that taking a glass of wine from your personal stateroom stash to dinner is tacky...and against the rules. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no, I would never say it is tacky to bring a bev with you to dinner. You are on vacation and if you are only half finish your drink when it is dinner time, then take the drink with you. People need to stop thinking what others think when it comes to something harmless as taking a drink to dinner. You can take your drink from a bar to dinner no problem Taking your drink from your cabin from bottles you brought onboard is the issue Reading & Comprehension also seems to be a problem with some 🙄 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad bout la Reserve - we really liked that. and we can’t sit on those stools so Aquamare won’t do for us. I am not fussed about it though since almost everything else on Oceania WILL do very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Reserve menus are still going to be offered just in a different venue. There are wonderful pictures and a video including menus in the topic started by steamboats..

If you have the complete drinks package you aren’t ‘cheating’ if you start a glass in your cabin and take it with you. Any concerns about the shape of the glass- take one you got from one of the bars with you back to the cabin. We’ve never had an issue. We bring a few bottles less for the quality of the wine and more to avoid running up to the Waves Bar or Horizons to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We bring a few bottles less for the quality of the wine and more to avoid running up to the Waves Bar or Horizons to get it. We are not drinkers but I am not so sure if I am reading this correctly. Even if you have the maximum drink package I don't believe you are allowed to take a glass of wine from your room from a bottle you brought on board to a dining venue. This would seem to circumvent the $25 corkage fee price which you still pay even if you have the maximum beverage package. Of course apologies if I have this incorrect. As basically non drinkers we are thrilled about all of the options O has to allow us to keep our price down but it sure can get a little complicated. Maybe easier soon when basic beer and wine at meals will be included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct - personal liquor brought onboard is for consumption in your room except you can bring a bottle of wine from your personal cabin stash to a public venue and pay the $25.00 corkage fee. Having either of the current beverage packages does not affect this rule..... Edited May 22, 2023 by basor 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted May 22, 2023 #110 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Maybe O will start only allowing 1 bottle of wine per person to be brought onboard like other lines 😈 NO beer or spirits That would certainly solve the problem with the cheaters 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare slw207693 Posted May 23, 2023 Author #112 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I will be posting a separate review of MY overall thoughts on Vista. I have been asked what “mementos” we received for the Founders cruise. upon embarkation there was a leather bound notebook with Vista name on it and a scarf with what I was told was Vista “colors” (shades of yellow, umber”). At the end of the cruise was a white candy style dish with Vista stepped in middle, however it was wrapped (because there was a note telling us this) in a Japanese style scarf that had a V all over it - I unwrapped it before I took picture 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoulaAnn Posted June 3, 2023 #113 Share Posted June 3, 2023 I keep looking at the bar and Baristas "uniforms" and all I can see is hip-waders. IMHO, they look rather silly. Perhaps in person they'll look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grifdoglover Posted June 3, 2023 #114 Share Posted June 3, 2023 I am disappointed with the loss of a walk in closet. The new set up seems awkward when two people are accessing the closets at once. It reminds me of a dorm room. I know it’s off topic but I thought you were allowed to bring a bottle of the Oceania suites and above suites selected cabin wines to dinner without a corkage fee. This ship looks beautiful thank you for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't pay corkage for the wine included in the bar set up in the named suites. You already paid for the privilege. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes if you get a bottle of wine/Champagne in your cabin you can bring it to a dining venue no charge Only on bottles YOU bring onboard are you charged the corkage fee (some exceptions may apply) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
