True story...Once in Germany I needed a little help and tried to speak German to someone, he asked me if I Spoke English. Of course I did, he told we could communicate better and he could help me. Sad to say he was German--I was a little embarrassed.

I agree 100%, look around enjoy the city you are in--not only do you get good food, but a bonus--you get to people watch and sometimes if you're lucky you'll get to talk to them.

I realize they need to care about how they handle showing the ship and looking after the TA's selling the cruise. That said one would think they would take care of a paying customer--without the customer they won't need TA's. If that is all you got in the form of information - then "O" needs a lesson in PR.

You really don't have to worry, they do a nice job. Never had a problem. We've done 8 cruises on them and always had laundry done by them.

Not sure but if they played the County Fairs first, it's pretty down hill.........

🤣

First of all, is it entertainment? Over on the Nova and Spirit it was pretty bad...........

Wouldn't normal cruise insurance cover that, it's a cost you incurred no fault of yours. Don't know, but it's seems logical.

We were on the Nova last December-Janurday cruise. Service surprise me, just wasn't top notch like you'd expect. They posted some of our laundry, run out of a white wine (non-alcohol) and even run out of lettuce for salads for the salad bar. The port were pretty big cities, so it's not like they couldn't get it.

This why we stopped cruising Regent and Silversea--spending extra dollar for things we don't use. We also don't drink and prefer to tour on are own. Now back on "O".

If you are only taking about one or two bottles, they sell special zip lock padded bottle carriers to be packed in your suitcase. Doesn't really take up much room and really leak proof if they break. We done this on the way home-never had a problem.

Truly you never know. The odd's are with you-but canceled port happen. You just have to roll with it.

Maybe if you are registered with a TA you won't get the calls. We use a TA, and I look all the time and never gotten a call from "O".

It's possible that if Sweden is your final stop and your flight is non-stop-they may have it at duty free shop----or something better at the higher price you might enjoy.

Every cruise we'd taken, the answer is "NO".😃
