We love good Asian food and really are looking forward to dining there on the Marina. Tamarind on the newer HAL ships is our favorite of any specialty restaurants on any cruise so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Salt Lifer Posted 12 hours ago #527 Share Posted 12 hours ago Jim, I have followed your LIVEs on the Celebrity board for years (usually in lurker mode) and always enjoy them. Oceania has been on my radar for awhile, so I have been especially enjoying following along on your journey. I am impressed by what I am seeing. Thanks for sharing your vacation with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamarind on the newer HAL ships is our favorite of any specialty restaurants on any cruise so far. You will LOVE Red Ginger. It was one of our favorite meals on Vista. My favorite specialty on Riviera was Jacques... probably because I love classic French cuisine. You'll have that one on Marina as well. I don't know if it's on all the ships but one thing I loved on both Vista and Riviera was the channel on the stateroom TV that showed episodes of his cooking show. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe lunch if we can find a place that isn't maxed out. Over 8000 extra people in town today. Your fish and chips looked good the other day, but we were pretty wet by lunchtime so we returned to the ship. Kim & Ed, We got your note. Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow and sharing a bottle of wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbqoug Posted 11 hours ago #531 Share Posted 11 hours ago (edited) Our standouts in the Grand Dining Room last night were the Caesar Salad, Pistachio Souffle with Cherry Sauce, and Chocolate Charlotte. Tonight we will be back at Toscana. Edited 11 hours ago by bbqoug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbqoug Posted 8 hours ago #534 Share Posted 8 hours ago We took a ship's tour to The Butchart Gardens this morning. It was nice being there before the big crowds arrived. Having never been there before, it was a beautiful way to spend the day. The bus driver also did an excellent job pointing out the landmarks along the way to the gardens & back to the ship. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted 7 hours ago Author #535 Share Posted 7 hours ago (edited) Downtown is only 1 mile from the cruise port. We decided to walk it to get in our steps. Most of the walk was in tree lined residential streets. We really enjoyed the mixture of architecture and fund artsy neighborhoods.

Rare Jim_Iain Posted 7 hours ago Author #538 Share Posted 7 hours ago Our plans for today were slightly changed due to a cancelled tour. and we had reservations for Tea at the famous Empress Hotel at 1pm We next took off for Beacon Hill Park. It started to drizzle so we found a nice bench under a tree and watched the Ducks and Geese. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted 7 hours ago Author #541 Share Posted 7 hours ago A couple months ago Oceania changed our departure from 5pm to 3:30 so we had to head back. Apple Maps plotted a different route 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted 6 hours ago Author #542 Share Posted 6 hours ago (edited) After all these days I finally looked at the tv Menu offering. Really well done I was really impressed with the room service menu available 24 hours a day for all room types.

bbqoug Posted 6 hours ago #543 Share Posted 6 hours ago Awesome photos Jim. We will have to visit Victoria again to see more of the sights. How was the Tea at the Empress? The food provided looks really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare terrydtx Posted 6 hours ago #546 Share Posted 6 hours ago (edited) Our only time in Victoria years ago we had reservations for afternoon tea at the Empress, but the day we visited the workers went on strike and the hotel had to close. The Victoria Empress is almost as famous as the Fairmont Frontenac in Quebec City, which we got to visit last month.
