MarkWiltonM Posted July 16, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) We are taking our first Oceania cruise, on Sirena, in November, and are wondering about smoothies. Do they have these? Do they serve them in the dining room at breakfast? Are they an extra charge? Is there a menu? Edited July 16, 2022 by MarkWiltonM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they have them at WAVES for breakfast No charge for non alcoholic beverages Sample menu for GDR https://www.oceaniacruises.com/Documents/Menus/81604382387/Grand-Dining-Breakfast-Menu.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMHuntFerry Posted July 16, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) The Preismans' blog has the Waves breakfast menu right above the Polo Grill menu https://www.thepreismans.com/riviera_21_menus.htm#waves (might give an idea of the GDR "smoothie specials") Edited July 16, 2022 by AMHuntFerry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suenavy Posted July 16, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I was disappointed that they don't use Fruit to make the smoothies all they use is a liquid, strawberry ,banana. I just got off the cruise ship yesterday From Alaska. I tested myself for COVID-19 and tested Positive. I had a good cruise Just throwing out that information. I have several cruises on Oceania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mauibabes Posted July 16, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 16, 2022 The Preismans Blog is always a great source. He has done an amazing job chronicling their trips. We were fortunate to be able to share dinner with them in Polo about 5 years ago. Smoothies, Sue navy, did you try to go through the buffet line and get some fruit and then take the fruit to Waves and have them add the fruit to your concoction? We had people traveling with us who brought some powders and such to be added to their smoothies and they had no problems. Positive, 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 We had a friend on Regatta last month test positive and was quarantined for 5 days. They took ALL precautions, even masks on board everywhere but STUFF HAPPENS! He did not so he was moved to another stateroom on another deck. Luckily he never did test positive. They both tested negative at Debarkation so flew home and are well. The moral of the story for Smoothies, or anything else, just ask, they will bend over backwards to meet your needs. Ciao, Mauibabes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suenavy Posted July 16, 2022 #8 Share Posted July 16, 2022 You are correct I could have done that I just didn't even think about at the time period the only cruise line that I've ever been on is on is this cruise line and they used to serve With all the fresh fruit there Where you get the smoothies. It really wasn't that big a deal.. I love this cruise line and will never go on any other one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEFIowa Posted July 17, 2022 #11 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Loved my morning Sun Salutation smoothie every morning at the Waves, sitting at table 7 or 10, along the starboard railing. Just a great way to start the day. Did it every morning except one (room service pre-tendering to an excursion) on our 10-day W. Caribbean cruise on Riviera in 12/13-23/21.

I was told only on the larger ships. On Insignia, right now and was told the only energy drinks are through your butler or in the main dining room.

On another thread it was pointed out that hot breakfast for room service is not available below A-category like it is supposed to be now (but on Regatta it is available). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are onboard can you walk by WAVES sometime & see if they have them on the menu board where the Ice cream/milkshake are served ? Thanks Interesting that O says things are available on all ships but pax report otherwise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
