Not overdoing it??? I say, GO FOR IT! 🤩

I’m an American and I don’t like any of the brewed coffee I’ve had on any cruise line ever, with the exception of Uniworld. Their brewed coffee was very good. Now on the other hand, I could not get the Uniworld servers to bring me both heavy cream and milk, so that I could prepare my own half-and-half. (This was in 2021, post COVID, so……)

Christina Hill? If so, she’s great! PS, I’m sure all Christinas on R are great!😁

I answered the survey in full on Voyager this past February. I would have noticed if there had been anything nonsensical as in your example above. So I think they might have caught it. Fingers crossed!

Bravo and hooray, Stefken! We are likeminded. We must coordinate cruises. I hope to sail w you (hubby welcome too) soon!

I agree. I was disappointed to see that the letter came from a guest relations supervisor. I assume that “supervisor” level is the equivalent of “Director” in banking. Everyone is a “Director.” Means nothing….

This might a good question to post on a different part of cruise critic; am thinking maybe this forum…… https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/77-cruise-air/

Important to set phone in “airplane mode” to avoid potential outrageous charges if connecting while at sea….. Also, (and I’m a technophobe) also need to set a switch to enable wifi calling. Did I miss anything?

You’re thinking US legal system. We don’t know where the lawsuit was brought…..

Here’s a link to O’s FAQ on alcohol - the official policy you requested. https://oceaniacruises.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360005405394-What-is-your-alcohol-policy-for-bringing-bottles-on-board Although, on CC you will hear there is no effective limit to the amount of alcohol that you bring on board, so long as you conform to the regs, e.g., consume in your cabin or pay corkage for wine consumed in a restaurant. Enjoy your cruise!

Off topic but couldn’t resist bc I’ve also lived in West Africa (Liberia) and South America (Colombia). I assume you were in Venezuela (?) - how about West Africa….?

Regatta is a small ship. I’ve sailed on the very similar Sirena. There’s no need for an app onboard. Not enuf stuff going on. No 5,000 pax trying to get their meals scheduled. I can see the need on an X ship, or RCC, Carnival, etc. In my opinion, no need for an app on O. Now, “improve the wifi” - did I hear anyone say? YES, now you’ve got me going on that one!

Please try the Cappella Palentina in the Palazzo Normanni. The mosaics in the chapel are incredible. Palermo has a fascinating history , something that can trigger an interest in a family member!

I believe Riviera has several itins in April that include Japan. I’m on Riviera as it departs Asia (Tokyo embarkation) on 25 April and travels to Vancouver.

I like Giada a lot and used to follow her. Now I’m more into Nigella, Jamie Oliver and Christopher Kimball (Milk Street), as well as America’s Test Kitchen.

Also, please keep in mind that if you purchase an FCC, then you will be subject to any price increases in effect by the time you have selected your itinerary. On the other hand, if you book on board, you lock in your price at the time that you select your itinerary. Enjoy your cruise!

A pdf file can be posted here. First download the file, and then okay to post here……

Can you provide a link to the brochure? Thx!

What is a “Go Next” group?

I’m on the 10 August Oslo embarkation…

Name?

I guess you will have passports soon, correct? Hopefully they will be arriving soon, yes?

If they are anything like the reusable water bottles provided on Mariner and on Voyager, I’d say don’t bother. Bring your own insulated water bottle from home. The bottles provided on board have no insulation and they sweat as they quickly lose their chill. No thanks.

Thanks to the OP for coming back and letting us know how things went. Glad to hear that all was well, although I would not want to encourage others to try to replicate your results in future.

Flossie009, I was under the impression that consumer laws in the United Kingdom would require the cruise line to provide a full refund if they make a substantial change to the itinerary. So, I’m thinking that passengers from the UK might get a full refund instead of losing their deposit. What are your thoughts?
