I'm with Dr H. In 16 cruises on O have never been asked to show invitations. There was a newbie cocktail party on our Alaska cruise.

I was on the April 20 to May 13 LA to Vancouver via Mexico and Alaska cruise. My 2 friends and I ate a total of 4 times each in Polo and Toscana and found the food delicious and up to usual standards. I had the rack of Lamb in Polo and veal scaloppine marsala or limone sauce. The staff were friendly and efficient as always. We also enjoyed the Raymond Chardonnay on Simply More. Francie

I was also on Sept cruise and have the CD's name my notes as Carson Hunter. I commented that he was good.

Thanks for the info Judi. I haven't heard of him. cbb..great to hear from you. I looked at Dr Dave's pics of your Dec cruise. Looked very scenic! I' m traveling on this cruise with 2 gals I met on fall cruise at Singles meet and greet. They're a lot of fun so we'll have a great 23 day cruise. Go on both the Mexico leg then up to Alaska. Hugs, Francie

Judi666.. thanks for your comments. I'm also boarding on Sat in LA and wondering who is serving as cruise director? Thanks. Francie

You might consider shipping your suitcase directly to the ship avoiding the hassle of the airport and airline. I've used Luggage Free a number of times with great success. Luggage Forward is another one. I use a soft- side 28 in. TravelPro without having to do laundry for 3 weeks. It fits very nicely under the stateroom bed. Happy Travels!!

Thanks for your info. Probably too small for me. Francie

Has anyone had a good experience with the solo cabin? Thanks. Francie

Does anyone know the current Cruise Director on Regatta? Will she/he be on for the next few months? Thanks. Francie

Sounds like good cruises ahead!

Great to hear from you. Any trips upcoming? Aloha, Francie

After 14 cruises on O, I have many wonderful memories. The best was sitting on the verandah with my late husband, watching the sea go by. The ocean and passing scenery never fail to amaze. Also have really enjoyed the many wonderful crew members. On our first O cruise in the Baltic, we had waiter Romeo (from Philippines) every night in GDR. We later saw him on 2 cruises, much to our delight. Also much to our delight we later discovered Terrace Grill so not in GDR as much. I'm looking at repeating my wonderful experiences as a solo on Regatta in Sept. Hi Cynthia! Francie

Also use Travel Guard. We needed to cancel a cruise after final payment for medical reasons and they paid off promptly. As abc1334 said, the older you get the more it costs. The cost of your trip also figures in. Francie

I was responding on a roll call thread and it locked up on me. I had to leave the site and when returned it said " your previous content has been restored. Clear editor" followed by an X. No response to this action, only says page has become unresponsive. Wait or close. No action on any of this.
