Can anyone help me answer these stupid questions? Thanks!
1. Are there weight scales and mouthwash in the suite bathrooms?
2. Is the showerhead massaging?
3. Do suites get afternoon tea and hors d'oeuvres?
4. Is espresso and cappucino free?
5. Can you book in-suite massages?

Not to be missed! They have the best high tea I have ever seen on a ship.
Wonderful

The best part is that all of those goodies at high tea are calorie-free! (Just kidding! Perhaps the tea is, however....)

Apfra,
Your questions are not stupid!
I don't remember if the showerhead was massaging either, but it's very good, very powerful, and very soothing after an intensive day of touring.
As everyone says, the tea is fabulous. Besides the yummy sandwiches, the delicious and varied pastries, the warm scones with clotted cream and jam, there are other reasons to take tea in Horizons: the delightful servers, the lovely background (live) music, and the splendid views in Horizons, which is a a glass-enclosed lounge on the top deck forward. No matter what the weather, you can watch a 4 pm sailaway in complete comfort in very cushy chairs or on plush couches while the servers wheel around massive carts of those delicious pastries and fetch coffee, tea, and all the hot water you could possibly want. The variety of tea offered is wonderful too. And the menu changes everyday, so tea is never boring. . . .
What a nice custom and how nicely Oceania carries on the tradition!

As a matter of fact I think the only scale on the ship is in the doctors office..

All I had to do is read about the afternoon tea on Oceania and my craving for scones is amazing. We really enjoyed the tea on Regatta. It is so relaxing, especially after touring all day. Just another pleasure on Oceania cruises.

There is a scale in the fitness center

Personally, I'd rather the location of the scales remain top-secret!

What's really funny is that my husband weighed himself on the scale in the fitness center about a week into the cruise, and he had LOST one pound. I tried to convince him that this was not possible, and that perhaps the scale was calibrated a little differently from ours at home. However, he told me several other people in the fitness center (cruisers, not staff) told him that the scale was right on the money. It just isn't fair - eat like a pig for a week and lose a pound. Of course, we DID do a lot of walking while we were in port.....which my husband is not used to!

I've had "high tea" on lots of ships and loved the experience. However, the 4:00 tea on Insignia was out of this world. Please go and savor the experience. Yummy, yummy.
