isn't it fraudulent to be saying FREE?

sailed on Viking in april...will not do it again...cant wait to be on an O ship...food, ambiance etc..yup I have said this many times and will continue to say it as long as we enjoy O. If not, ,I will be the first to tell you why not.

OH wow...I am excited....you may be able to ask for them in other locations.... on our previous O cruises , they were nowhere to be found... I am surprised they serve sliders in Polo.... thank you for this....

Really think Embers could serve fries that are not the same as at the Terrace. My preference would be shoestring. I think we had them once in Jaques.

Guess you haven't read All my posts. It wasn't long ago that I was criticized for complaining that there was too much sea food, that most soups were unrecognizable, that the deserts went from amazing to awful when staff changed half way through the 20 days aboard marina. It is really only after being on a Viking ship this April that my opinions on O really solidified. But of course everyone will continue to believe what they will. And I will continue to praise O when deserved and criticise when not.

I am not an influencer..lol

Any shoestring fries?

Nope, O suits us, not shopping around, we are savy cruisers with over 60 cruises on various lines... Sticking to what we like and building loyalty, unless things significantly change for us.

for those of us that do not drink any alcoholic beverages nor do ships tours, this is seen as a real blow... granted, there may not be many of us.... so we will pay more for those that will enjoy the drinks and the tours...nothing new about that... as for me, not fretting too much....have 10 O cruises booked into May of 2025 and hope that I can keep things as they are....of course if there is a sale, to rebook and benefit from it, will have to rebook and book with the new O ...so that will not be an option... bottom line...as long as food is still the best we can do and the ambiance stays as it was, we will be happy....

We dont cruise for the itinerary , have been to most places that we were interested in. All with private tours. So no drink packages, no tours for us. We love to get off the ship and wander around, visit some of the places we have been to before, if we feel like it. So simply more has nothing to offer us. But we like most things about O and will have to adjust.

We have 10 cruises booked until May of 2025, I'm not cancelling any of them because of "simply more".

With over 50 cruises with C, we could never reach zenith. Don't drink, don't need dry clean and do my own laundry, don't want to waste my time eating with officers. You must have posted this with tongue in cheek. NO comparison to O.

Perhaps it IS because many experienced staff went to the Vista and it will take time to train others. Just as they will be trained, the Allura will appear and again best staff will go there. HMM........

and dont forget what you get with Loyalty...the perks can be considerable...does any line come close in their perks to O?

thank you to all of you that are following up when things are not what they should be... only if we speak up, will they know and maybe improve.... we are on the unrefitted marina in November, TA, 22 days....BCN to MIA

Not my style to cozy up to GMs. Guess we will never be upgraded and that's OK.

Glad pinotlover could point out what could be added to a steak pre cooking to give it flavor. I wasn't going to bother.

Thank you for your post. We hope that O treats us better. Hate to give up premium econ for 149 pp. To do our own flights would be at least double, since we are in Canada with fewer flight options.

What you didn't understand is that that's all there was, salt and pepper.

In the Terrace I always ask for seasonings on my steak..they say all they have is salt...I tell them to pour that on and pepper if they can find it or it is way too bland for me.

It seems to me there is always Indian food in the Terrace, don't like the stuff but that's just me.

Love American, thank you.No Indian for us but will miss sole Amandine and crepes.

I think everyone knows why we like 0. Someone actually counted my posts to be 60 saying why we prefer O to celeb and Viking.

Couldn't care less and don't want to pay for it, but of course I will be.

Our air to bcn is at least double than what O is charging us..also we are paying only 149 for prem econ... Going 2 days early, in case of snags. So why would I pay more to do it myself?
