It’s something Oceania doesn’t do. It’s popular on mass market lines, you dress in white and go to a party late in the evening after 11 most of the time. We’re in bed, not for old fuddies like us and about 80% of Oceania’s cruisers. Not all lines do the food. 

I think Aza does it for dinner  & not sure any  other dining venues are open

I think I read it is the party BBQ or  room service  I could be wrong

Standing in line  to pick up food is not my favourite  thing 🙂

Windstar has a deck barbecue dinner one night weather permitting. it's a lot of fun.

It is for dinner, a buffer on deck with music and dancing. The MDR is open (at least it was on our cruise in september).

White Night on Azamara is a dinner buffet with a wide choice of food, including BBQ.   After the dinner there is live music and dancing and it generally ends around 10pm.   The MDR is open and, as I recall, one of the specialty restaurants for anyone not wishing to participate.   Some people prefer to have dinner in the MDR and then join in for the music but it is widely enjoyed.

+1. Won’t much affect a TA, but this will become a huge factor between the two lines, especially as Oceania slices more port times away.

 

For those that care, some of Oceania’s senior staff, such as the ship captain, are invisible. They don’t even show up for the Captain’s Welcome Party. AZ’s senior staff intermingles with the passengers FAR more than Oceania’s. Never been a big deal for me, but others enjoy meeting and being coddled by senior staff.

We just got off Oceania Insignia where we had drinks with the captain and his wife in Martinis bar one evening. We just happened to sit down with them.

The Captain had drinks? Hope he wasn't driving the ship.

He was drinking a Coke, his wife had a glass of Champagne.😊
