mpfund Posted October 13, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I've just posted my review of our recent Nautica Black Sea trip. It's not as detailed as I would have liked (jet lag), so just ask if you have questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWED23 Posted October 14, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Can you tell who the General Manager and Dining Room Manager were on your cruise?....Thanks for your review !.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted October 14, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Nice review! No need to give reams of detail when you're just off the ship. And you can always add more detail if you wish to. Mura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulchili Posted October 14, 2013 #4 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Nice review - thank you. I have often wondered about Hapag-Lloyd cruises. How would you compare it to your Nautica experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpfund Posted October 14, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Awed23 -- I don't know who the general mgr was. The dining room mgr was a very energetic, slight, dark haired man. He was constantly in motion and did a terrific job. Paulchili -- H-L is a very different experience from a US line. We were on what was advertised as a bilingual cruise -- we were it! They translated the menus and made announcements in English just for us. The ship was lovely with great cabins. The food was the best I have ever had at sea. But it is very formal, set dining hours and table for dinner. It is also very dressy. Most of the staff spoke English, most of the passengers did not. If you want to dress up and you speak German it would be a good fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my impression and, FWIW, it would be a TERRIBLE fit for us (for all the reasons mentioned - and then some) :D We'll gladly stay with Oceania.

AWED23 Posted October 14, 2013 #7 Share Posted October 14, 2013 The Dining Room Manager you described sounds a lot like "Chimi". The Mariner is our favorite ship at sea...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimandStan Posted October 15, 2013 #8 Share Posted October 15, 2013 The Mariner is our favorite ship at sea. Lovely to hear.... Which Line does she sail for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolphinmar Posted October 15, 2013 #9 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Sounds like a case of computer doing an auto spell. Mariner versus Marina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimandStan Posted October 15, 2013 #11 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Sounds like a case of computer doing an auto spell. Mariner versus Marina. Why would that be the case? Marina is also a perfectly legitimate word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
