No. We had a reservation and organized the group but ended in the medical centre with bronchitis. I asked the doctor and he said we were not catching but asked if we would enjoy it as we couldn’t really taste anything. It was one of the events we were looking forward to.

I’m sorry that you got sick, but it seems strange that you commented negatively multiple times on the dinner that you actually didn’t go to. Why not leave it to others who participated and can comment on the real experience. It’s great that you were able to enjoy the other special dining event on the ship.

You are going to be very very disappointed then. - I didn’t disembark either - I didn’t try to access the executive lounge. - I wasn’t on the excursion that was complained about i tried to report back impressions of a newly refurbished ship and on a total cruise on that ship along with ToxM and answer what questions I could, take pictures, report on the new bar menus, answer specific questions. We were a very tight group, ate meals together, met and talked, shared experiences, had a very active roll call. Sorry that I missed the mark with you to the extent you chose to respond only negatively. You can be sure that I will not be doing anything as extensive as this again while on holiday again. Please do not waste your time responding to my posts again. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please do not waste your time responding to my posts again. I think it is great that you pooled together your groups' thoughts and experiences. It makes it even more helpful. Many people do not like to share and the fact that you took the time to share their thoughts with us is much appreciated. Since I will be going on our first Oceania cruise on Riviera in 3 weeks, I loved every word. I think it is great that you had such a close group before & during the cruise to hang with. So thanks! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wherever they will be held, the impression was that Vista does plan to have wine dinner events 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have to wait until the ship actually sails and see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have to wait until the ship actually sails and see. Additionally; Our OCA left a strong impression those wine dinners in Privee would primarily be private, invite only, events. Otherwise, it would be the shared $300 reservation fee, plus the cost of the paired meal. If a paired wine dinner is chosen, all in the group must take the dinner and it would have to be pre ordered. This means a group couldn’t walk in at 7:00 and say “ we want the Odyssey meal.” This makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ToxM Posted January 9, 2023 #35 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Just for the record, I didn’t go to any of the meet and greets or CC meals - we were tired from travelling. Also one thing I just remembered - we didn’t get a Sunday Brunch on our sea day - it was Xmas Day, but I notice that Regent got a Sunday Brunch for NYD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not always Sunday that the special brunch happens it does not happen on all sailings usually on longer sailings IME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much Amber. That was exactly our purpose. We tried to balance the responses and yet represent everyone’s point of view. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
