Afraid I missed what the new roll-out on Oct1 involves? We will be new to Oceania in Jan/Feb on the Vista and very much looking forward to it.
-
As will be boarding next week, curious if anyone recently/currently on can share who the butler(s) are? Just wondering if it will be anyone we have had before. Thanks.
-
Thank you for this website. Very helpful information and photos. As soon to be first time O cruisers in 2025 on Vista this has us anticipating the experience.
-
Appreciate any thoughts from those that have stayed on the Eclipse in stateroom 1619? Condition, location, any other thing else to share? Thanks.
-
Thanks for this info. Yes, I was referring to the Suites so appreciate it.
-
We noticed that when we were on last Dec but our Sky Suite was in the worse state of condition than any that we have experienced over the years of cruising, so I trust that was addressed with the recent refurb.
-
And, they should have all the menus in the Retreat Lounge by the Concierge desk/podium.
-
Agree, and some Pinnacles as we've cruised with them a number of times. I guess it comes down to people are people, some friendly and some not so much.
-
Our experience here in SE Texas has been that they mostly serve it deconstructed. I'm not sure why, and I should ask at our regular places, unless it's so you can see the actual ingredients and let the customer choose how to cut it how they like it (just speculation).
-
As do I so this is welcomed news. Oh, what brand of welcome Champagne do they have in the Suites and around the ship?
-
We weren't either and was surprised when we got the email. First time that's happened for us.
-
From reports on CC, appears they handled up to 22 suites. Not sure if that is across all butlers regardless of suite category. We're on in 2 weeks so will try to find out...unless we're having way too much fun which will probably be the case!
-
We received our move-up from a SS to a CS yesterday. Our cruise leaves Aug 28. Took less than 2 weeks since we submitted.
-
We're the same, Elite plus. Certainly not bailing on X but curious about other lines such as Oceania. Have checked Regent Seven Seas and Silver seas but not finding the price comparisons to meet our needs, yet.
-
Yes, understand, thanks. I'm interested in his opinion of Oceania as we are long time RC and X cruisers moving over to try it, as well.
-
LOL! As we'll be Vista newbies for Panama Canel crossing in Jan/Feb your review will help lead the way!
-
Very much looking forward to another helpful review and photos!
-
Agree so our expectation was tempered but it wasn't much above Lumaine on the night we went. I will say the wine pairing was good as was the sommelier.
-
One cruiser opinion but.....have only done Chefs Table once and having dined at a number of Daniel Boulud's restaurants in the past (loved them all) we were disappointed. We did not find it to the level we've previously experienced in food, ambience, or service. At this point, we would not do again.
-
Good luck with the move-up!
-
Thanks for this. I was trying to place exactly where the suite is located below OVC in that area. We actually just put in a move up bid to a Celebrity suite but I'm not holding out much hope.
-
Thanks for all the experiences. We are in 2129 and DW thinks we are under a carpeted area of OVC, anyone with experience with that specific cabin or can confirm if above that area is carpeted?
-
24 nights on a southern Caribbean and TA to Spain B2B. Loved it and didn't think it was to long for us. We are contemplating 31 nights on Oceania but holding booking until we experience that line for the first time in Jan/Feb 2025.
-
Will be first time on the Eclipse and appreciate experiences with any noise in a SS located under OVC?
-
Just back from B2B on Apex - thoughts and review
JDPCruisers replied to Shiba_Lover's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Appreciate the balanced review as were on a Scandinavia/Norwegian fjords B2B next May/June for the first time so this is helpful. Have been on Apex before and, so far, is one of our favorite X E-ships and find the lack of effort for trivia disappointing to hear as we, too, enjoy that activity. Hopefully, the entertainment director will fix that going forward.
