How would you know? This is the Oceania cruise board. Occasionally, someone might mention a land trip or a trip on another cruise line, but, frankly, when the latter happens and the topic is food, the majority of the posters give the win to Oceania.

 

 

 

Your focus on food, especially land restaurants bewilders me. Cruising is the best way to effortlessly visit lots of destinations. Any other features are bonuses: easy accessible to on-board entertainment, steps away from excellent food, unpacking once, etc. But cruising isn't the best way to visit a destination. And cruising isn't the best way to experience the food of the countries you're visiting. Why set up a contest where every and any cruise line is going to lose to land restaurants?

 

Most of the criticism has focused on your original premise. You accepted the premise that Oceania's food was bland and proceeded to offer a prescription for fixing the problem. Most replies said that premise was simply not true. If posters don't even agree with your premise, why should they embrace your solutions? (And, as many have pointed out, the loudest and most freqent poster who complains about Oceania's food is a habitual complainer on any topic.)

 

 

 

Should I include my credit score, too?

So Nasty...So Rude.

YOU are NASTY. Twirl away, honey....

My god...the girl was looking for thoughts and observations about the food on Oceania, not attacks.

We are taking our first Oceania Cruise in November and I admit, I have been a lurker and now I know why. I have never seen such viciousness and disdain for a simple question/comment.

It's no wonder Oceania is losing customers and can't fill their ships. If I had to deal with most of you on this board, I'd jump ship too!

Thank you to those who gave constructive and informative replies. We too were concerned about the comments we seem to see all over the internet about the lack of quality in Oceania's food as of recently. We went with Oceania due to the itinerary and food plus we wanted to try another line.

I'm certain many of you will "attack" my posting for being critical of the nastiness, however, the difference between me and you, is I don't know you and don't want to know most of you. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
