  1. Armed guard on our ship on the Nile, relaxing with a crew member as we pass through the lock at Esna.
  2. I also had a little queasy feeling while on Lake Ladoga, during a thunderstorm. Certainly no issues on any other river cruise.
  3. Reading your review, I enjoyed reliving our 2017 visit to Egypt with Uniworld. Itinerary was almost the same. It was such a fantastic journey. We also had lunch at the Mena House. I wish we would have stayed there while visiting the pyramid precinct, even though the Four Seasons is so luxurious. As I type this I can see one of the papyri from the Papyrus museum that we had framed to hang on the wall. Definitely a tricky time now to be traveling in the Middle East, though.
  4. One of the listed amenities is unlimited access to the Aquamar Spa Terrace. Does that include complimentary use of any of the facilities besides the lounge chairs?
  5. 16 laps! I might get dizzy! Thanks for the replies.
  6. Re: DrKoob's comment on walking tracks -- is there much of a track on R class ships? We will be on Regatta in April with 3 sea days, so I will really want a place to walk. I'm another cruiser enjoying Dr.Koob's posts. We enjoyed a similar itinerary a few years ago on HAL.
  7. We will be on the April 20 sailing for our first O cruise. Haven’t cruised since 2018, mostly due to COVID. Really looking forward to it!
  8. After I wrote that, I had the same thought. Service can vary from sailing to sailing, I would think.
  9. Harters, Thanks for your detailed review. We will be on O for the first time in April. Breakfast in MDR sounds unacceptable. Looks like we will head for Waves or Terrace Cafe, or order room service. We choose a PH3 for the size.
  10. Thanks, LHT28. I always research the ports. On other lines, port talks haven’t included recommendations for shops but a few times mentioned changes that have been made. So are the lectures televised?
  11. Oceania newby with two questions: are lectures and port talks available to view on stateroom TV? How is the safety drill accomplished? We’ll be on Regatta in late April.
  12. Also should mention the Boathouse at Hendry’s Beach, up the coast a bit, not at the port area.
  13. I visit family often in Santa Barbara and have enjoyed Breakwater Restaurant on the Harbor/Marina and the Santa Barbara Fish House on Cabrillo. Both are moderately priced. Also restaurants on Sterns Wharf.
  14. Any recommendations for Manzanillo? How do you get from port to interesting part of town? Weighing spending a beach day at Karmina Palace Resort Hotel (Oceania excursion) vs DYI in town. We enjoy historical places, picturesque places and unique stores. Will have enough souvenir shopping at other ports, I’m sure. If we are lucky with good weather, we would enjoy a beach day at one of the ports.
  15. What would be typical cost of taxi to the Rosita?
  16. Thanks for the replies. I stumbled on where the prices are listed. They do seem overpriced.
  17. We are contemplating the Los Angeles (San Pedro) to Los Angeles Bridge to Mexico. Experienced cruisers but new to Oceania. We're interested because of the itinerary and relative small size of the ship (Regatta). My question is: is there a way to find out the price of each excursion? I've found the descriptions of the excursions but no prices. Trying to figure out whether to take the offer of "free" excursions or the $600 obc. PS Rather surprised to see so many negative comments about the food. But not everyone has been displeased.
  18. Should show up on Booked Cruises section, unless your cruise is several months in the future?
  19. I believe it’s the Constitution, 2018. ACL website has the year each ship was built.
  20. Gosh. We’ve been to Vienna twice with Uniworld, in the “old days.” The concert was included on both (although one was not private) and a culinary walking tour was included on one itinerary. Of course, I don’t know what included tours were offered. Anyway, I will enjoy hearing about your trip.
  21. Glad you had good weather, in between storms, I guess! Now hoping for a review from someone who was on board.
  22. I caught the episodes on PBS in Los Angeles. All I saw about Uniworld were the ads!
