    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 “RUclipsrs” 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!! 😊

    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. ❤

    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.

    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.

    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 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 RUclipsrs 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.

    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.

    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!

    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!
