Cruiser John

Would like to hear fellow passengers experiences and recommendations with luggage forwarding. 

What can one expect regards a back to back cruise out of Miami? Are passengers required to leave the ship and go through the immigration process?

Anyone considering travelling to Russia should read this book, Red Notice. A true story about business activities in Russia. It helps one understand some of the present day attitudes and problems. Traveller beware.

A number of years ago Regent offered a "Le Cordon Bleu" cooking class on board. On of the features of this program was a served dinner in the galley. This was a fascinating experience that we are still talking about.

Since the beginning of O Mr. DelRio has always been on the spot to solve problems that have arisen. He has been curiously silent here during the unfolding of O's most tragic event. Is he still with the company? Why no comment?

If you really enjoy good quality wine plan to make your wine purchases in Miami and pay the 25$ corkage. This is a nice Oceania option often overlooked. You will have no problem boarding with enough good wine for your entire cruise

Having just returned from a 14 day Baltic Cruise on Pride the advertised changes to the dress code weren't too evident to me. During our cruise the recommended dress for evenings in the MDR were "Jacket Required" or more formal on 10 of the 14 evenings. This limited our enjoyment of the cruise and we will not be returning to SB unless the dress code is completely changed to CCC. There are lots of quality options available.

We also are in possesion of a coupon. Would be happy to mail it to any new Seaborn sailor.Please e-mail me at hulljj2@aol.com John
