I appreciate the comments on the casino. I thought I was joking but I guess I will have to pull the handle by the sound of it. We've not sailed Oceania before but from what I've read on other threads it doesn't sound like the entertainment is great (not really surprising from our experience) so when that is the case and we don't have anything else planned my wife and I like to try our luck in the casino after dinner. Most of our cruising has been on Cunard, their casinos are not great and they are getting smaller to make room for single cabins. However, at least they operate off your ship card which is a lot more convenient. Thanks for all the comments.

Thanks for the quick responses. I had expected electronic capability for the money. Guess I'll have to pull the handle each time as well. Hope springs eternal regarding any payouts!

Can you use your ship card to play the slots and get any payout from them or do they require cash to play?

Thank you for the responses. I had assumed so but wanted to ask. Thanks again.

Being new to Oceania and the only wine drinker (wife allergic to sulfites!) this is an interesting thread to me. With the variety of restaurants and moving from one to another each day, will the staff transfer unfinished bottles of wine to the next restaurant the following night? Thanks.

Pennbank,

Thank you for the quick response. The red packets had been served in the Kings Court and the restaurants for a several years.

Thank you for the reports. Curious whether the Twinings Breakfast Tea is in the red/black or golden packet and wondered if you could let us know? We will be on the ship in November. We were on QV in April and they had switched to the Golden packets which we didn't care for as much. Thank you.

Blueriband, Thank you for taking the time to describe your trip. Perhaps you have noticed the type of English Breakfast tea that is being served now? We were recently on the QV and they had switched from the Twinings black/red packets of tea to a Twinings Golden tea in a goldish type packet. Curious if the same as occurred on the Mary as well?
