SeaWatch12 Posted February 20 #1 Share Posted February 20 Oceania posted this on their Instagram account yesterday. This would be a welcome addition to the new ship. Anyone know where it would be located? https://www.instagram.com/p/C3i5GVGLDSN/?igsh=Mm13YzQ4eXQ2YWRk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEFIowa Posted February 20 #3 Share Posted February 20 Interesting that O sent out the huge 130+ page book on Allura back in 9/2023. Deck plans found on pages 84-85. At that time no dedicated Creperie or Ice Cream venues shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no, not the library. The extensive bookcases and seating areas on Vista were wonderful. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm aware. Just fascinating how these weren't in the original plans, for a project that had design and engineering work done years in advance. And O prints up a huge book that is partially outdated just on the deck plans before the ship is ever in service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each cabin had the huge brochure. Wanted to take it home, but, oh so heavy. Came home and ordered it from O website, receiving confirm email. Never came. Called up a couple months later to enquire, and rep ordered it again. Still never came. I just ordered it again today from website. We shall see. Learned from Seatrade Cruise News, O has a new magazine/brochure called Your World. Also ordered it from website. Hoping both will arrive. Maybe they don't want me back! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a shame. Personally I’ve always thought the lower level of the atrium was such wasted space on Marina and Riviera and thought some sort of cafe would be better use of this area.

jonthomas Posted February 20 #9 Share Posted February 20 A creperie, wow that would be nice. Would like to see it on the Vista as well. Now without Jaques, there is nowhere to get crepes. Hey, maybe they could make them at the bakery. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingIGo Posted February 21 #10 Share Posted February 21 On Allura, the new Creperie will be located near Baristas on the port side (same location as library on Vista). Allura’s library will be moved upstairs near Horizons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonthomas Posted February 21 #13 Share Posted February 21 As if that is the most important issue with cruising today. Glad I could provide you with comments you can respond to. Really would love to see a creperie on the Vista, we have 4 cruises coming up on Vista but none on Allura. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though maybe they'll add the IHOP or Waffle House or Denny's equivalent to Allura & Vista to go along with Ember? More savory American specialties, but for breakfast! 😉 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtravel Posted February 24 #15 Share Posted February 24 I like the idea of putting the creperie in the empty space on deck 5. Deck 5 atrium has lots of dead space. I often thought it would be nice if the atrium had a bar or coffee station with cookies or small sandwiches. When you return from an excursion or a day ashore, being able to get a nice drink when you board would be fantastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting in a crepe place or other food and beverage joint in the main atrium would make the ship look like a shopping mall and detract from the elegance of the ship. Just imo. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted February 24 #17 Share Posted February 24 Some people just want Oceania to be Celebrity. That's the way it's laid out in that area. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, more like a hodgepodge from various ships to create their perfect ship experience! 🤣 I do not want any other experience except the one on O, as can do the comparisons and decide which ship experiences I value most when booking other cruises.

Library/Barrista's/bakery arrangement is perfect. Edited April 18 by ohmark 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they are taking out the Conference Center or maybe merging it with the LYNC room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, the Allura deck plan on O's site shows the same arrangement of the Library, Barista's, and The Bakery as on Vista.
