taoscowboy Posted March 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Now on Sirena which is great. Have heard that other 3-Regatta, Nautica and Insignia- May be showing wear and tear. Does anyone know when each was last refurbished or when any are scheduled to be refurbished? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classiccruiser777 Posted March 25, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 25, 2017 We were on Regatta during November and she looked immaculate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know when each was last refurbished or when any are scheduled to be refurbished? You heard wrong. We were on Regatta on its first cruise after a major 2014 drydock/refurbishment in Seattle and again this past summer. If anything, some stateroom built-in furniture finishes look outdated and IMO a changeover to HD TVs from analog would be great.

Does anyone know when each was last refurbished or when any are scheduled to be refurbished? No, I was on Regatta last year and Insignia a few months ago..... cant see any need for refurbishment all looked 4.0.... Saw nothing in need of anything.... I think these new mega cruise lines are selling the modern look concept where as the R fleet maintains staid subtle and elegant tones.... Some might call them out that " outdated" .... I call them a class act like a boutique British country hotel.....elegant to a fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taoscowboy Posted March 26, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Great! I am planning to book Regatta but was also looking at Nautica but recent passengers said they had mildew in their shower on Nautica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted March 26, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Thats why we all love them..elegance..Jancruz1 Mildew not very elegant. Looks like some of them need a little work. Going 24/7 365 days a year. How can they not. I think for the most part O keeps on top of things. :):):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimandStan Posted March 26, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I think for the most part O keeps on top of things.Oceania does a better job than almost anyone at this, but I have to admit that a lot of it boils down to how the passengers treat the ships. We first found Oceania when we left HAL because the veneers in the big suites were starting to look as if folks had played football in them, and we will never again even consider Carnival after a sister in law had her college reunion cruise from Tampa ruined (it happened to fall during Spring break) because the Line was unable to control the public urination in the hallway outside her room.

Hawaiidan Posted March 26, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I would hazard a guess that many of the folks who complain or find fault with Oceania do so coming from homes or dwellings that are less than the perfection and in reality not up to O's standard.............when is the last time they had the CDC inspect their home?????

Bootman4U Posted March 26, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 26, 2017 IMO mildew which can easily be eliminated has never been, nor will it ever BE anything close to "subtle" or "elegant" especially at the prices some folks pay to be ON these ships. There is, IMO, no excuse whatsoever for that sort of thing. I am glad to know that there are passengers who make a habit of doing routine and obviously meticulous inspections of all the ship's spaces and because they didn't "see anything" then obviously it cannot possibly be true.

Completely different standard. Most people do not have different guests staying at their homes every 7 to 14 days all year long. Many of us have furniture, carpeting and furnishings that is 10 to 15 years old and that is fine with us. Just a whole other way to look at things. A cruise ship probably gets more use of their cabins every year than our homes would get in a lifetime. Saying again, I think O is really on top of their ships as much as is possible. No complaints from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Caroldoll Posted March 27, 2017 #13 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Yes, for me it is so sad how people treat these wonderful ships. I only like the O ships, but we were just on the Riviera in the OS. OMG, it looked like someone danced on the nightstands with high heels. There were gouges on the dining room table. I know that the ship is going in next year and they have replacement furniture, but no one should misuse the ships like this. It is not management, it is those who stay in the staterooms and have no respect. I almost cried. The finish on this furniture is not standard. It is something special. Anyway, it is not the cruise line's fault. It is some of the uncaring people who misuse the staterooms. That being said, the cruise was wonderful and everything was meticulously cleaned.
