  1. That is so, so good. My husband had the lobster tail so many times he said he needed to take a break. And he's not a huge eater.
  2. I was just going to mention that.
  3. So are you assuming that the majority of people here are frequent travelers on O? And, hey, maybe they have some really important things on their minds.
  4. " As part of the Oceania Cruises simply More program, the House Select beverage package provides three dozen premium label champagnes and wines, plus two dozen beer selections from around the world, all to be enjoyed during lunch and dinner at all onboard restaurants.Nov 12, 2023
  5. Good PS. I know my husband got a 'special' burger while we ate lunch on the deck of the TC.
  6. Ding, ding, ding. I think we have the answer to why. Yay. Now let's figure out why they didn't notify passengers sooner. Maybe the approval for them was pending?
  7. Don't I remember that upon boarding they removed Antarctica from the name of the cruise?
  8. Ooh, good idea. Something I actually did many years ago for our young daughters.
  9. And I want you carry on to fit properly in the bin...if above me. Probably my biggest non-ethical problem.
  10. So good. And our caviar shop (yes, we have a caviar shop) recommended to try it on Tom'Original chips. Really outstanding.
  11. Are the beds movable? If so, I'd push them both up against one of the 'side' walls. Will give you a lot more space I bet.
  12. And your point is? What I'm saying is that we blew money on the cruise that - for us in that case - could have been better used.
  13. We've done scores more diy land trips and escorted trips than cruises. Mainly because we want to really visit a place. Dubrovnik was a stop on an escorted tour. A couple of ships were in and the place was completely mobbed. Shoulder to shoulder. We finally took a side street and then another and found quiet. And a nice place to have lunch and wine. There's been recent posting about the large cruise ships and their damage to the ports. And that they don't make all that much money. Pre-covid and our last cruise, we cruised from Rio to Buenos Aires (two cities by the way that you couldn't possibly 'do' in a couple of days.) Since then we kinda kicked ourselves that we didn't 'just' go back Rio and then fly to BA. We're not beach people so that factor doesn't affect us. Back to your beginning: "Given your desire to have everything locked in stone," LOL Try helping push your jeep out of the mud in Africa in the dark. Now THAT is a fun memory.
  14. And the food is so, so good!
  15. Thank you for the best Cruise Critic post I've ever read. Protecting our planet has large and small actions. We can make a difference. And "awareness of the consequences" is huge. Thanks again.
  16. Seattle recommends the same. Two hours for domestic. BTW, we have one of those expensive credit cards. All those points are paying for us to fly Polaris J class from Seattle to Amsterdam and return from Stockholm. Oh, right and the lounge access. I hope you sleep well. Sincerely.
  17. LOL. I think I'm going to let the media and the courts make final judgments and you and your sister and I can mind our own business, personal opinions put aside.
  18. Are you aware of how few ships can actually make a landing. Fewer than 500 pax to begin with. There's a TREATY there. Worldwide treaty. So think of all the cruises you've been on where the ship was small enough. So for many, many people seeing it in person, even at a distance, is awesome.
  19. We're not long term cruisers and I was telling my husband last night that I'd have to look long and hard at ever cruising again after our paid in full one in July.
  20. And when you lose a customer it's way harder to get them back than it was to get them in the first place. And that lost customer tells others who DO trust that lost customer.
  21. I truly recommend that you send you commend to Oceania.
  22. EXCUSE ME! Have you been there? I have. And I got to go ashore. And it was wonderful. But it's also wonderful if you can ride all around it and see something completely unique. @ORV can you weigh in here? I'm ALMOST beyond belief that anyone in the world could justify what was done?
