On a regular year Rome is always packed, I can only imagine the zoo 2025 will be. I visited early February this year thinking it would be empty and found it surprisingly full. Make hotel reservations now

I recently cruised on Vista, the newest Oceania ship. It’s an aesthetically pleasant ship with decent food and service, but I find there’s no comparison with Regent. To upgrade to a cabin the size of Regent, plus pay for excursions, drinks and tips makes it basically the same in price, plus you’re sharing the ship with more people. Service in the lounges at night, unless you were seated at the bar, was pretty bad. I’ve been on all the Regent ships( except Grandeur) and I would pick any of them over an Oceania cruise

Or arrange for late check out from the hotel where they were staying

I don’t understand then if Regent knew way ahead of time that embarkation wouldn’t occur until at the earliest 5 pm, why did they bus those people to the terminal at 1 pm!! ?? They should have given them a bus tour or something to kill time!

I agree, and I base it on what Frank Galzy, GM of Splendor at the time, told me when I complained during a Caribbean cruise last year. I suggested that the Captain himself should make an announcement over the loudspeaker, I think that might give people pause to continue with this behavior

I love the Navigator! Cozy with a great staff, I would not hesitate if it was the right itinerary/date

If you dump and run, providing no details, you get no sympathy or credibility from me.

Either I’m not very observant or this is a new thing. I haven’t been on Grandeur but don’t recall piped music all over the place on the other ships

Yeah, that's what I said before I was on Voyager. Good luck

My first time on Voyager I suffered from the vibration in an Aft cabin. Never again, next two times was in a mid cabin, would never accept an aft cabin there

People are already doing that .

My opinion? They don’t really care to read what we have to say. I refuse to spend valuable time while still on the cruise trying to deal with their cumbersome survey. I don’t even try anymore

I’ve been on Splendor two times and never experienced that, or heard of anyone that did. On Vista it was quite bad

Yes, I think you were mistaken about Gold getting anything

Never got them
