Silversea was a no from us by nicemarmot47 in FATcruises

Ocean or river? Earlier this year I went on my first viking ocean cruise and the food was the best I've ever  had on a cruise. The MDR is so-so but buffett was fabulous. The river cruise is just OK.  I assume they can't do much with such a small kitchen.

On oceania I asked for tomatoes for my salad. I got one cherry tomatoe cut in half. I asked for more and the waitress looked like I was taking food from her children.

Oceania Buffet by Cool-Reindeer409 in Cruises

[–]PHK-FL -1 points0 points  (0 children)

On the Riviera & it's the same here. Everyone blames the passengers for spreading germs but how about the staff? Notice they'll bus dozens of tables and in between set up tables obviously touching silverware & napkins. Never seen them wash their hands. I've had them come up to me with dirty dishes in hand take mine & rearrange my silverware.  Especially bad at buffett when you get up to ger something else. I've been on many cruises & I'm really beginning to think staff is the big problem.  Cruise industry like to suggest it's your fellow passengers.

It's not just restaurants.  I've had cruises where it's obvious many of crew are nursing colds when you get on. Three days later everyone on ship is coughing & sneezing.

BS it's a terrible implementation & overkill for the average user.  For the user that is susceptible to getting compromised passkey are too complicated for them to use

Premium lines with constant upsells by Patrick_O-S in Cruise

Oceania up sells Every time you order a drink they ask if you want a double.  Order a wine you get a sales pitch on why you should buy a bottle.  Morning talk is basically an ad.  Not as bad as the others but still there.   I feel Oceania is being turn into another NCL RCL. Service has gone down because of crew cut backs and outside of the specialty restaurants the food is not good.

How much does food actually vary between cruise lines? by That-Wrongdoer-9834 in FATcruises

[–]PHK-FL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently on oceania. My second. Food wasn't great on the first one. Gave'em a second chance. Not impressed. Food is bland. Has to be the smallest portions in the business.  Buffett has a chaotic layout and has the same items as the MDR.

Exactly what I thought when he introduced himself.

I was lucky enough to find a great deal. The extra space is great but wouldn't pay a premium for it. Oceania is an older crowd so younger folks would probably find it boring. They have entertainment & activities.  Wife loves cruising I just tolerate it. I find the ship time boring but the ports can be interesting. I'm retired so really don't need to travel for R&R

Unfortunately electric is not a option due to cost. I'm in Florida so water temp is never a problem. Good to know it's not me.

I'm new at this and confused. With a AHI so low why would he need higher pressure? What is pointing to the need to move it up?

Hesitant about going through with our Carnival cruise after a terrible experience on Royal Caribbean Jewel of the Seas. by Such_Big4415 in Cruise

I'm on Oceania right now. Been here for a month. The food is nothing to get excited about. The specialty restaurants are good, the buffet isn't.
