We are scheduled to be on the Jan 28, cruise. Thank you for giving us a preview of what to expect. I know things can change day to day. Yes we have 3 or 4 that are on this cruise and have posted here and you can get a look through the lens of each of us so that's pretty cool. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate it when you get these 3 or 4 days into a cruise, I never want to think about being done when I'm there. Thanks for your reporting. Keep enjoying yourself. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have an Oceania booked hotel for one night at the end of our cruise. I don't see anything on the departure paperwork for that option. Is there anything on the other side of the paper maybe? Thanks so much! You can't imagine how helpful you are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare molemaui Posted January 7, 2022 #209 Share Posted January 7, 2022 A lot has been written about the fantastic dining on the Riviera. In my opinion, an underrated venue is Wave’s Grill. Waygu burgers, ahi sandwiches, etc. They always get extra rare (ahi) and medium rare (burgers) perfect each time. In addition, the daily specials are quite good (pulled pork sandwich was today’s). I either need to exercise or purge as tonight is our second visit to Jacque’s. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always nice to order a little "surf" on the side as well. I found that Wave's did a better job on grilling the lobster than the Terrace grill (which was sometimes a little overcooked). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do this too. I usually bring the entertainment staff the movie size boxes of kiddie candy (lemon heads, hot tamales, Ike and mike, starburst, etc) as a piece of home. When I buy make up and it comes with gift with purchase, I bring those as gifts as well. crew are not allowed off ship in ports anymore to call family or shop for essentials. Your kindnesses mean the world to them. And when you go from 1150 pax down to 690, tips are reduced that so many of them depend on to support families back home. The beginning of your post doesn’t jive with the end of your post. CASH IS KING! (especially right now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(especially right now). We were on a Princess cruise over Christmas and some of the crew told us that they were ordering things from Amazon, to be delivered to the home port, because they weren't able to get off the ship to do shopping. Cash is always good and maybe an Amazon card is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big fan of the burgers, but I also really enjoy the Q-Ban. My wife is a fan of the Rueben. The pulled pork picture up there looks tasty. I don't think I've experienced that before. There's only a couple I wouldn't eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside, we had a female steward and assistant on our TP aboard Regatta and they were outstanding. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(especially right now). Someone asked about cabin stewardess vs cabin steward for next cruise as they wanted to bring little gifts depending on sex. So I said if the tell me cabin number for Jan 14 cruise, I’d supply the info needed. I then posted some of the things I bring - candy, make-up, things they can’t get off and buy now because crew isn’t allowed off ship in any port (except those that help with departure/embarkation day). I too give cash,these little things are in addition to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
