We are n this cruise, too!

And, I think they’ve just extended the requirement for another year. 🤣

We’ve been told they will hold your table for 15 minutes past your reservation time. I do agree with Vallesan’s comments.

We’re not a member of the Pandaw group, but we’ll be on this cruise, too!

I agree. No opportunity to comment and several of the questions were too broad. Sadly, I think it is typical of the O end of cruise surveys, though you can comment on those.

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply!

We will have a port call in Sabang (Pulau Weh), but I haven’t been able to find any tours other than those offered by the ship. If you have been there, I’d really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks much!

They do!

OMG! 😱

My thoughts, too.

I am also curious about this and would like to hear from anyone who has been stopped. Thanks!

My husband often goes to the spa to shower when we’re on the R ships.

So many bad puns. 🤣 Love it!! Sorry for those on board, though.

Oooooohhhh, we should be getting ours any day for our 4/28 on the Riviera! Dinner soon??

The cruise we followed was a swingers’ cruise, so perhaps more than just topless women. And, gee, what about the bottomless men??

I think that’s the best advice. Having been on the refurbished Riviera and just last month on the Marina, I can safely say, for us anyway, that though we’d love to have the redone bathrooms, their lack is not a deal breaker by any stretch. We found the Marina to be very well maintained. I think O is doing all they can/as much as they can while still recovering financially from Covid and bringing the new ships on board, so to speak. 🙂

No kidding! We were on the Regatta in French Polynesia a couple of years ago that immediately followed a similar charter. It was a bit unsettling thinking about it. I’m going to say the crew got an eyeful. 😳

Regatta only has one laundry room, which is on Deck 7.

We had that happen in February. It was fine going in, but it turned really rough in the afternoon. We were on one of the last tenders, and it was really rough. After a few passes, we were able to pull along side, but then the mooring rope broke, and it took several more. Several people were rather panicked. Not us, though. 🙂

Idle curiosity question to anyone who is on this cruise or the last one. How is the new cruise director doing? She seemed a bit of an odd choice to me, but what do I know??

Thanks for your post and link to your review! We, too, will be on the Riviera, having last sailed on her shortly after her refurb. Our itinerary is Singapore to Dubai.

Thanks so much to all who have posted so far! We will be there towards the end of April and can’t wait! I’ll look forward to reading more posts and adding my thoughts, too, after our visit. Jane

We just ended a cruise in Santiago a few weeks ago and stayed at Hotel Le Rêve. It’s a small boutique hotel in a neighborhood with a number of restaurants nearby. We were quite happy with it.
