Rare abbydancer2003 Posted yesterday at 05:31 AM #352 Share Posted yesterday at 05:31 AM Just decided to follow this. Oceania is on our radar, but we'll see how we do with Azamara in November. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they have an up charge? There’s no upcharge if you have a beverage package. The pairing menu suggests a wine to complement each course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare abbydancer2003 Posted yesterday at 07:31 AM #354 Share Posted yesterday at 07:31 AM If anyone also posting here is in a balcony, I'd love to see some pictures. We're on Azamara in November, in a balcoy, and since it's a sister ship in terms of design and origin, it would be nice to know what to expect. I never sailed her when she was with Princess.

On X upper suites as well as on Scenic Johnny Walker Black is an option. Hopefully that will be available in our beverage package as we are only in a PH for our first Oceania cruise in December. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't pay a lot of attention to the left side of the menu with the Wine Pairing, but isn't there some wines that are not on the By the Glass menu?

Travelexpert35 Posted 18 hours ago #359 Share Posted 18 hours ago I always love following along with you Jim. Your pictures are so vibrant and beautiful. Friends of mine sailed with Oceania a few years back and they were in their late 50’s. They raved about it. Enjoy the rest of your cruise!!

This will be the longest and most expensive cruise we have sailed to date, but you only live once! My favorite cruise up to this point was on Celebrity Flora to the Galapagos for the truly remarkable experience. Best Cruise Ship so far has been Regent Splendor which we are sailing again in April. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted 15 hours ago Author #368 Share Posted 15 hours ago Last night we did Polo Grill for dinner. I was worried it would be all meet but was pleasantly surprised by the wide array of dishes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted 15 hours ago Author #369 Share Posted 15 hours ago (edited) We had an 8:30 reservation and Polo was much busier than Toscana. We did have a short 5 minute wait while they prepared a table AFT facing the slanted windows. Felt really cozy and quiet. Unlike Toscana when we left at 10PM there were still about 10 tables with guest finishing off their evening. The lighting is a bright as Toscana but looks a bit darker as Toscan has a white palate and Polo a wood clubby look.

Was thrilled it was on the ship, disappointed that it was not on the 6 bottle suite list. You are correct. Martinis Bar has a great selection of liquor.

Not sure where they have been hiding. ... Still 70+% over 70. Have noticed 3 families with pre-school age children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
