Oceania Regatta Our Cruise Review And Final Thoughts. 11 Day Mexico Cruise April 30th 2024 Round Trip Los Angeles.
I have really enjoyed watching your series on this ship. Don’t stay gone between cruises! You guys are like old friends and we miss you when you are gone!
Thank You So Much. Hopefully We Can Get Some Camping Videos Posted Before Our Next Cruise 😀
Yes please! Love your camping videos too.
I always love your videos and not just for the food. You guys are real and it shows! I can’t stand some of the “TH-camrs” acting all fake and “on” all the time. Anyway, YES do more review videos on your cruises. You are very helpful. I can’t wait for your Cunard cruise as that is on my bucket list. I am like Don always trying to squeeze in that extra cruise!! 😊
Thank You So Much For The Compliments 😀
Guys, I loved this recap/review video of your cruise! It was great to have both of you just chatting away about your experience. I love seeing more of the cruise and excursions instead of just all the meals and restaurants. It gives your channel more flair and I think people will enjoy it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. ❤
Thank You So Much Shirley ❤️
Thank you for doing a recap on your cruise. It is nice to hear your thoughts on the food and how the ship was. I hope you do this for all your future cruises.
Thank You So Much 😀
Hi guys, we’ve loved your Regatta videos including the recap.
We love Oceania and have sailed approx 7 times on Marina an ‘O’ class ship and once on their newest ship Vista. I’d give the bigger ships a try if you can next time, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed, even more food choices which are amazing! ☺
Thank You So Much For Watching And Your Suggestions 😀
I appreciate your candid comments. Iʻm still thinking about this...but your video really helps me to know what to expect. I want to take this ship around Japan...thank you! 😀
Japan Is Definitely On Our Bucket list 😀
After several cruises on larger cruise lines, 11 years ago the Regatta was our first with Oceania - from Miami to San Francisco. Just about ready to fly to Europe for our 18th and 19th Oceania, this time on their newest ship the Vista.
Rarely mentioned is the Oceania Club loyalty program. It is quite rewarding starting with your 5th cruise. Next Spring we hit Platinum level and even get a complimentary 14 day cruise! Anyway glad you liked the Regatta which we subsequently did twice more with both in or around the South Pacific.
After 27 Princess Cruises We Absolutely Fell In Love With The Oceania Regatta. We Have Several Cruises Booked With Holland America Next Year And One With Seabourn. We Are Looking Forward To Getting Back Onboard Oceania. Thank You So Much For Letting Us Know About The Oceania Loyalty Program And Thank You So Much For Watching
Thank you for this video. It covers all of the areas of a cruise, including your not so favourable interaction with guest services. Whilst some people may not enjoy these sit-down type of sessions, I think it is great to show everyone your opinions on the whole cruise experience after the event & also the fact of whether or not you would cruise with that cruise line again. Thank you for all of your good & honest videos & opinions of your experiences onboard your Oceania Regatta cruise.
Thank You So Much John 😀
I really like you guys, keep up the GREAT work!
Thank You So Much For The Compliment. 😀
Really enjoyed watching this luxury cruise series. We are wanting to try Oceania or Seabourne for small ship atmosphere and top notch service. I enjoyed your sit down review you did. I’m sorry you had to endure the uncomfortable situation with the short till. I would have felt that way too.
Thank You So Much. We Want To Try Seabourn And Compare It With Oceania In The Future. The Small Ship Experience Was Amazing. Thank You So Much For Watching 😀
Recap was nice! It gives viewers more info and more genuine feedback! Looks like a great cruise line experience minus polo grill and toscana. Enjoy your next cruise! Enjoyed all of your videos on Oceania Regatta! Thanks for taking the time to put them together!😊👍
Thank You So Much Jeffrey 😀 We Plan On Doing A Recap On Our Upcoming QM2 Cruise As Well
Thank you for your “perspective” on Oceania. I do love your dining videos, but I noticed that on this cruise, many of the other guests kept looking your way while you were filming. I guess TH-camrs are not common on Oceania? Nonetheless, thank you for all of your videos across all the cruise lines. And hopefully, one day, our paths will cross on Princess.
Yes Not Too Many TH-cam Content On Oceania 😀 Everyone Was Really Friendly And We Tried Not To Disturb Any Other Passenger During Our Filming. Thank You So Much For Watching And Commenting 😀
Thanks for the recap. I really enjoyed your series on Oceania! Well done! Now it’s time to fire up the camper!😂😂
Yes It’s Camping Time 😀
Great job on the video. We really enjoyed the recap look forward to you doing that again
Thank You So Much. 😀
Please keep doing this summary of your cruise at the end . There are things you shared with us that you normally don’t include I. Your food videos. I love the interaction that you and Scottie have. Keep it up. Looking forward to your October cruise videos. One last question
how was the WiFi on the ship and do the have Starlink
Our Wi-Fi Onboard Was Slow But Ok For Streaming Videos. Upload Speed Was Awfully Slow. Star Link Was Installed However We Were Told That The Cruise After Ours Star Link Would Be Activated. Thank You So Much For Watching 😀
I very much enjoyed this series. It was great to see an elevated cruise experience. Thank you so much for sharing your perspective 😂 . Please continue to include a wrap up video discussing the your overall experience. Take care and enjoy the summer.
Thank You So Much 😀
Diffidently love the couch talk! This was great. Wonderful recap of whole trip. We have taken a lot of your information and insights for are Princess cruises so far and that has been really helpful.❤
Thank You So Much 😀
I would really like to try one of these small ships. I agree about the having to travel to or from a port as a big turn off. I’m near the LA port and have really become accustomed to not having to do flights and all the layers of difficulty that brings.
We Are Close To SF Port So Cruising From Pier 27 Is A Breeze. Los Angeles Or Seattle Are Fairly Quick Flights That We Are Willing To Do. October Will Be All The Way To NY For The QM2. Thank You So Much For Watching 😀
Cindy and myself are really looking forward to your next video.
Thank You So Much 😀
Love this recap approach. I think since we are new to cruising, your videos are very helpful. Thank you and best wishes, can't wait to see more. By the way, we loved our Princess cruise in April from Los Angeles, for the Total Eclipse, through the Panama Canal, and ending in Fort Lauderdale, and I feel like I really was a lot better prepared after having watched many of your videos!
Thank You So Much😀 Glad To Hear That You Had A Great Princess Cruise. Thank You So Much For The Compliments
Thank you for this recap! My partner and I just got back from Alaska on the Ruby Princess, and booked something in 2026 on the Allura. So hearing your thoughts on the OceanView cabin, the food, the ship - all very helpful. The Allura will be new, but the company vibe will hopefully be consistent.
Happy travels!
Thank You So Much. We Hope You Both Had A Wonderful Cruise On The Ruby Princess. Alaska Is A Beautiful Place. 😀 The Allura Looks Like A Beautiful Ship.
Funny story about your change experience. We had a 5-night stay at Charles V in Paris in the eighties (that was not inexpensive). We had already checked out, settled the bill, and were getting into the car they had arranged to take us to the airport. The bellman had loaded our luggage, and we were getting seated when a flustered desk clerk ran up to the car and seemed quite agitated. When we asked what the problem was, he declared - Monsieur - you have not paid for a bottle of water from the mini bar - that will be 20 francs! So, maybe it's a French thing? Thanks for your reviews - we are sailing on the Regatta to Alaska in August. Can't wait!
Thank You So Much For Sharing 😀. We Hope You Have A Wonderful Alaska Cruise Onboard The Regatta.
Really enjoyed this video guys! The audio on this was much better than some of your other videos. Sometimes, the background music you pipe in drowns out your commentary. We want to hear what you have to say. Especially good to hear some additional commentary from Scotty on this vid. Appreciate your candor and honesty.
Thank You So Much. We Are Looking At Some Dual Wireless Microphones So Hopefully We Can Improve Our Audio Quality. 😀
Love the channel…
Please invest in some Bluetooth remote microphones… head and shoulders the audio would be better.
@@seanobrien9310 Thank You So Much. We Just Purchased The DJI Mic 2 Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones. I Think They Will Make A Difference. Looking Forward To Trying Them Out On Our Next Cruise. Thank You Again For Watching 😀
I will be going through withdrawals after this cruise. I so look forward to your videos and it will be a long 4 months to wait for your next adventure. Maybe you will surprise us with a summer trip. Stay healthy until then and just keep on making your videos as they are fun to watch and you may have just converted me to Oceana cruises. Thank you.
Thank You So Much Hopefully We Can Get Some Camping Videos In Before Our Next Cruise 😀
Thank you for such a great video. We loved you and Scottie talking. Fantastic video ❤
Thank You So Much Kim & Darrell ❤️
Hehe!. You guys are great! Love the summary format at the end of a cruise. It's great. Thanks for posting, they are fun to watch. 😀❤
Thank You So Much 😀
Love, love, love your detailed cruise reviews. Thank you so much 🎉
Thank You So Much 😀
As a cashier in a restaurant in my past, my guess is that someone didn't check the beginning till before start of day. But I agree, they should have done a full check of the drawer and the videos before going to the customer. Thanks for sharing your cruise with us!
Thank You So Much For Watching And Commenting 😀
We have thoroughly enjoyed following you and your cuisine videos on your first Oceania cruise! We sail Princess most often so far but would certainly consider booking with Oceania now. You've shown lovely views and great food. Scotty's "Ummms" 😋 said it all!
Thank You So Much 😀 We Are Looking Forward To Jumping On The Ruby Princess For Our Christmas Hawaii Cruise. Thank You So Much For Following Along With Us 😀
So sad that a guest services interaction over $20 is even a small 3:47 part of your memories. Oceana: let that be a lesson.
The Regatta was built in the same group as the Pacific Princess 2. We sailed on Princess 2 twice. Loved the service on the small ship. From the mirrored wall into the MDR to the main staircase, the Regatta looks like a twin. Sad that we can no longer enjoy the Pacific Princess.
That Was Sad That Princess Sold The Pacific Princess 2 To Azamara.
Loved this video! Yes please, do more of them. Your opinion means a lot.
Thank You So Much
Great video, please continue to do reviews. Thanks for sharing.
Thank You So Much 😀
We think your critique video is great. Also Excursion videos would be enjoyable too. Thanks
Thank You So Much. Hopefully We Get Some QM2 Excursion Videos Also. 😀
Good video and series guys. Will be trying the Allura on its maiden US short cruise out of NY next fall. Trying out to see if we are "small" ship people and of course the food. Their itineraries are great but of course they are much higher than Princess (unless you are sailing in the suites).
Exactly There Is Not Much Price Difference If You Factor In A Suite. We Hope You Have A Wonderful Cruise On Allura. Thank You So Much For Watching And Commenting 😀
I agree with both of you. Good follow up video. I really enjoy Oceania and would like to sail with them more often. BTW, Virgin Cruise Line is doing a RT out of San Pedro next April to Mexico. We signed up not for Mexico, but to check out the cruise line.
Great Seeing You Both Onboard. Let Us Know How You Like Virgin Cruises.
Nice review. Your
food reviews are awesome. Are you planning to go on a Viking Ocean cruise in the future? I have read Oceania and Viking are comparable in
food quality and service in the luxury cruise lines.
We Haven’t Made Any Plans For A Viking Cruise As Of Yet. We Are Planning On Cruising On The Seabourn Sojourn Next Year. Thank You So Much For Watching
Absolutely do this kind of a video. This is what we are looking for. I have suggested in the past you do cocktail hour at your home to let us all know more about the two of you. How you met what kind of work you do hobbies and interests. I just think it would be really fun. Any way just my perspective 🏳️🌈🕺👏🏻
Thank You Jim
In October on QM2, did you get a balcony? If so, how long in advance did you book….
Seems balconies for crossings are booked out forever!
@@seanobrien9310 We Booked A Britannia Club Balcony Nearly 2 Years Ago. It Does Seem Like Balconies Sell Out Quickly
Hey Code 4 gents.
Thanks for this.
$ for $ from a value perspective deluxe line such as Celebrity or luxury line such as this one?
We Haven’t Tried Celebrity Yet. As Far As Dollar For Dollar Compared With Oceania Your Cruise Money Will Go Much Further With Princess. We Really Liked The Smaller Ship Experience Even With The Larger Price Tag Easy To Get Spoiled 😀 Thank You So Much For Watching
Great review all and all, very genuine, tnx!
Thank You So Much 😀
I like this summary of your thoughts!
Thank You So Much. This Is The First Time We Made This Type Of Video 😀
@@code4forlife I know ;)
wow great review! that was a really disappointing interaction with guest services but glad to hear it didn’t affect your experience too much.
Thank You So Much. We Feel This Is Just A Training Issue And Hopefully A Learning Moment For The Guest Services Member. This Definitely Did Not Spoil Our Cruise. 😀
Not sure if we will ever cruise this line but it sounds like you both had a great experience! When is your next cruise?
We Had A Great Time On This Cruise 😀. Our Next Cruise Is October 25th On The QM2 Round Trip NY 26 Day Northern Lights Cruise. This Will Be Our First Cruise With Cunard
@@code4forlife can’t wait for those videos!
@laurieGaryCruise Thank You So Much 😀
great video
😀 Thank You So Much
@code4forlife. We are looking at going to Alaska. Would you recommend Oceania or Princess? Thanks
@@Matt.Jernigan We Have Sailed To Alaska On Princess And HAL However We Have Not Tried Oceania To Alaska. We Did Really Enjoy Our Experience With Oceania To Mexico. We Would Definitely Also Sail To Alaska Onboard Oceania Depending Upon The Itinerary. Princess And HAL Have Great Itineraries to Alaska. With Princess Especially The Royal Class Ships Our Trips To Alaska We Have Noticed The Ships Seem Over Crowded In Our Opinion. This Would Not Be An Issue With Oceania As Their R Class Ships Have A Capacity Of Only 684 Passengers. It All Really Depends Upon What Type Of Cruise Experience You Are Looking For. 😀
@@code4forlife Thanks. We went on the Royal Princess and enjoyed it, but we are looking for something different, but didn’t know, if it was worth the extra expense
@Matt.Jernigan We Really Enjoyed The Princess Grand Class Ships And The HAL Eurodam To Alaska Smaller Ships But A Great Experience
@@code4forlife Thank you so much!!! See you tomorrow with Gordon and Allison
@Matt.Jernigan Looking Forward To It 😀
Makes me want to try 🥰
We Are Glad We Tried Oceania 😀 Thank You So Much For Watching
Have you done a celebrity cruise review?
@@timmurphy8895 We Have Not Sailed With Celebrity Yet. We Do Hear Good Things About Them. Our Next Cruise Will Be With Cunard On The QM2 This October Round Trip NY 26 Day Northern Lights Cruise.
Is there a casino? Craps table?
They Do Have A Small Casino. Oceania Describes It As A Monte Carlo Style That Features Blackjack, Roulette, Poker And A Variety Of Slot Machines.
where to next?
@@tednguyen7258 26 Day Northern Lights Norway Cruise This October On The QM2.😀
you guys are bosses
