Riviera Tips

Enjoy dinner sitting on the deck of the Terrace Cafe during beautiful sail away from Montenegro!

BREAKFAST ON THE STERN TERRACE

Afternoon tea at 4pm has some great finger food!

Relax and enjoy --the staff will take good care of you

It's a wonderful ship with a great crew, stay away from PH 11062.

Penthouse Suite as a minimum. The experience is significantly upgraded.

Bring light cottons and not anything with spandex. Bring anti humidity hair spray or prepare to wear hair back. Take advantage of walking the ports instead of all the excursions. Loads of fun.

Definitely book dinners early for the 4 specialty restaurants because they are outstanding and get booked up early.

Make specialty dining reservation online early.

All dining experiences are excellent. Enjoy your veranda as you are sailing in and out of each port.

Shows were a bit late 9:45 so plan your dinner accordingly.

Don't book any future cruises on Riviera nor on Oceania Lines. Quality of food and service has diminished since takeover. If you want this type of cruise, then book on Carnival or NCL. Will never take another Oceania Cruise again...this was supposed to be a 14 day dream cruise which turned into

On the MS Riviera eet interesting and friendly fellow cruisers. Expect the loveliest pampering of your life, 24/7 room service, lounging on a beautiful pool deck, boutique shops, spa and gym, library, computer room, culinary and other classes, never having to pack a suitcase until disembarkation.

Very little advantage to Concierge Level Veranda over standard Veranda. I recommend standard Veranda or upgrading to a Penthouse Suite. Room service is exceptional and I highly recommend, especially for breakfast.

Try the open seated dining. You meet the most interesting people.

While they limit the number of specialty restaurants you can reserve for, a party of 2 or 4 can show up at any one of them at 9 PM and likely get in

If you don't want to dress up for dinner, the buffet served wonderful food and was more casual.

Be sure to reserve in advance each of the specialty dining facilities. There were all wonderful. We also recommend the purchased La Reserve dinner.

I never believed a buffet dinner could be fantastic. They placed food on your plate. Carried to your table and the choices were fabulous

Be ready for the roll of toilet paper to fall off of the horizontal post and roll around on the bathroom floor.
