We heard that there is a new GM on Riviera.....we were looking forward to sailing with the GM who had been on this Fall..

Thanks !

Can you please provide a link ...TIA

No - the 4 most expensive tours are the free ones....the example is that if make a change to your tour choices and the new tour is more expensive than one of the 4 free ones, it will replace the least expensive free one so your free tours always are the 4 most expensive

You are correct - it is the pointy end outside the spa....

I believe you meant to say in the aft of the ship outside the spa......we have found it very relaxing and quiet but as you say, there is no bar service.

Yes - just did this a few weeks ago....

Also, just let your room steward/butler know what mixers, condiments, glasses you need for your drinks and they will make sure your cabin is stocked with everything

The policy is clearly stated that the lenient bring aboard liquor policy is "only for consumption in your room". Do they have someone running around the ship policing what people are drinking - no but if people abuse the policy then the policy will disappear. Please do not abuse . FYI - the glasses provided in the room are different than the glass used in the bars and dining rooms so the crew do know that you are abusing the policy.

Not a problem to pre-order Evian and San Pellegrino for your room and order around the ship....they are trying to stop handing out plastic bottles water to people going ashore and for drinking around the ship

It says the butler requested to escort his wife to dinner not that they accepted his offer or they requested it.....you implied that you personally had witnessed it and the couple had insisted on it.....the butlers escorting guest into Privee is not based upon cabin category, everyone invited to eat in Privee is escorted into dinner....

After 15 cruises on O in PH to Insides, I have never seen anyone transported to the dining areas on the arm of their butler!! Also, never met anyone that has regaled me with stories of their butler doing anything for them except to say how nice he/she is......so no we have never met anyone remotely like you are describing... Access to the spa area is complimentary for Concierge and above but available to anyone on the ship that wants to pay for a day pass (pay for access upfront or as you use).... Class system is when certain areas of the ship are not available for anyone not in a particular cabin category - expect for the 2 lounges, there is no where on an O ship that is closed to anyone onboard.

On your 10th cruise.....
