Oceania Cookbook

I would love to buy the Oceania Cookbook for a friend of mine, as we have done a couple of cruises with Oceania and he loved the food and is an excellent cook. I saw where I could order it on the Oceania site, but only as a Bon Voyage gift. I checked Amazon.com and only used books are available. Jim & Stan, Mura, and other regulars, do you have any suggestions?

Many thanks in advance!

Not sure if this is the cook book you are looking for or not

OOPS looks like the link goes to Amazon

Oceania seems to hold all of the stock on the new ones, but if you are not willing to book yourself a cruise in order to gift yourself one as a Bon Voyage present (by far the most sensible alternative), then I would suggest waiting until a mint copy becomes available on Amazon or Ebay.

Those books were given to a great many people as promotional gifts, so they seem to come up for sale on the secondary market very frequently.....some of them virtually untouched.

Oops! just learned that even Oceania is out of new copies of Taste of the World......so Ebay or Amazon are the only way to go until the second printing.

I got one for my wife via a reseller through Amazon - it was listed as Used but mint condition - and it was even better than that-- was still shrink-wrapped. Cost was $49. So if you keep checking Amazon or eBay, you should be able to find one.

I got one for $5 at goodwill book store. I was very pleased as we were originally booked on Marina's maiden voyage and had to cancel for family reasons.

I'm sure it had never been used. I buy lots of books on secondary market and some are gifts. My 21yo son was thrilled at Christmas to get a lovely slipcased set of Paddington Bear books!

If Oceania is a presenter at any travel/cruise shows in your area, you may have a shot at getting the Taste of the World book. We've attended several shows locally where a few books were given away as door prizes. We didn't score any then but we did get a copy by attending an Open House on Regatta when she was in our home port at the end of the Alaska season last year. Taste of the World is a gorgeous book with favorite recipes of staff/guests as well as an insider peak into the Oceania culinary magic. Hope you find it!

Thanks Jim and Stan,

Yes! I would book myself on the Riviera in a heartbeat. We have been on the R ships before but this was a first for the O ship and we loved it. We booked for the Caribbean the end of March (Colorado was very BRRR with snow) Especially Red Ginger and Jaques. And the real French baguettes with butter. my friend has booked for the first of October of next year and that seems like a long time to wait for the cookbook. So I will keep looking at Amazon.

Hi,

That was a great buy! The ones I have looked at on Amazon have been highlighted, etc. So I guess I will have to wait until the right one comes along.

Thanks,

Hi Mo,

You win the prize for the best buy! I will look at the Good Will here in Colorado Springs.

Thanks for the tip---

And thank you too, Mighty Quinn. That is a great suggestion and I will look for the travel/cruise shows her in Colorado Springs. Glad to know that you are really happy with your cookbook.
