Live From Oasis of the Seas 2/18-2/25!
exlondoner replied to jam19872016's topic in Royal Caribbean International
It will be fascinating, as, of course, will be pineapple reports. For something termed unlimited, the dining plan has a fair number of exclusions. -

Faint but pursuing, I am much looking forward to reading about your next trip on a ship I would never consider. Along with the ‘Why?’ moments, there will also be quite a number of ‘That looks really nice’ moments, and many things of interest. You will probably need a whole paragraph to explain the dining options to the ignorant (ie me). -
They seemed pretty fluffy to me when I encountered them. Not necessarily feathers though, but certainly not thin. And rather too warm.
-
Even better if they don’t have to do it, assuming the message gets through, which, strangely enough, it usually does in my experience. Also strangely, when I read an FAQ on the subject (which may have disappeared long ago), they said everyone had duvets.
-
Poor Grills. Worse still the duvets are rather warm.
-
The default is duvets. If you want blankets, ring up a couple of weeks beforehand to save the staff extra work on their busiest day.
-
From Australia it is possible QE, to QM2. Agree the Concierge is usually both efficient and lovely.
-
And as one who has caught campylobacter food poisoning from bottled water (not on Cunard), I would say it is safer, because of being so heavily chlorinated.
-
Only in the cabin, not in the dining room.

She seems to be enjoying herself at present. Her track is loopy - literally.
-
Well, so far, all I can say is that I think the mdr looks gorgeous in the artist’s impression, and I don’t much like the bright green sofa in the Q2. Neither of these are very likely to impinge on me in reality.
-
Really? I spend quite a lot of time ambling around the prom deck (which the new ship is apparently not going to have) on the Vistas, and it never seems very busy. It must be the times I pick, I suppose.
-
Yet all three of them always feel so empty. It is most mysterious.
-
It says just over 4,000 in post 4. That arithmetic looks better.
-
And also a few left free in case people have to be moved because of plumbing catastrophes or the like. They may take a particularly cautious view on that on the first few voyages.
-
It seems unlikely as the Statendam, on which she is based, has a capacity of under 3000.

How can I get early dining while being waitlisted?
exlondoner replied to newbie202020's topic in Cunard Line
I think there is usually a note in the Daily Programme indicating where the M d’h is and exact timings. -
If you’ve got the time and the cash, why not? It’s only a week, even if it all goes wrong, how bad could it be?

You have told Cunard about this serious allergy, I imagine. If so, all will be fine. If not, do so urgently. -
It is so annoying when that happens. Just like when they have a 25% of all wine offer at the supermarket the week after you have stocked up, if less financially disastrous. Just out of interest, are the prices the same?
-
Are there any off menu dishes available in the MDR?
exlondoner replied to Jim_P's topic in Cunard Line
Where I have seen it from time to time is in the Daily Programme, though not, I think, in its current format. -
As few as possible. They are heavy and invisible in the dining room.
-
And, if you go to one of the excellent talks by Mr. Flounders, you will find he is scathing about White Star, which managed to hold the record for the worst losses in both the 19th and 20th Centuries, and keen to emphasise the superiority in all ways of Cunard, who did own the Carpathia, which sped to the rescue.
-
How horrid of them. I wonder what they would have done if you had ordered from Room Service a bottle of wine which happened to have a cork.
