Loved the sparkly “beyond wonderful” label for the roasted tomato tarte. Lamb, crab cake and Caesar salad looked so tempting. OK, now to watch the rest of the video.
I sit at the dining room table onboard ship and make “um, um, yum” noises for the so good foods. Tonight on Viking Saturn is foie gras, and crab cake as starters. yum, yum, yum 👍
I liked Oceania but am always looking for an unusual cruise or at least one that has a couple ports I’d like to revisit or visit for the 1st time. Thanks so much for your time to view and comment and I’m so glad the video helped. Best to you, Sheila 😍
Why do I feel like I need to go to the gym after watching this? Thanks once again for bringing us along. And of course, I want to give a shoutout to Marine Steve - usually in the background but not forgotten!
Thank you, David, for coming along on the journey. I really should make a video of me giving camera directions to Steve and shouting at him, "No. You're too close. Hold the camera steady. You are moving your arm" and so on. Poor guy. I need a camera crew, make-up artist and cue cards would definitely help. Best to you, Sheila
Thank you so very much for your binge. Just wish I had another couple of thousand “bingers” 🥰 That would be so wonderful. Have a great sail with Oceania and where are you going? Best to you, Sheila ❤️
Sheila Simkin Miami to Miami, Palms & Paradise, Feb 4-14, 2020 on the Riveria. Going with my mother and grandmother, they went on the same cruise a few years ago and loved it.
yum!....its a chilly Montana Saturday morning minus 12 26 inches of fresh snow...living vicariously thru your travels...only one problem with this video it made me hungry, but when I went to the fridge there was no fois gras , no escargot, no scallops and somebody ate all the pate and caviar....such a let down ;-)
Hee, hee. I drool why editing the videos and then go to the fridge and have to COOK! Darn, darn, darn. Thanks for watching and your hilarious comment. Best to you, Sheila
It is bad enough that I gained weight even trying to stay away from lunch and afternoon tea (scones with cream) but then I have to edit all the food. I would sit down at each meal with no intention of vlogging and then a plate is put before me that I just have to video. Much, much food ended up on my "cutting room" floor and much, much food ended up in my stomach. Groan and pass the TUMS.
Thanks for sharing, you've changed my mind in Oceania's overall experience! I'm a huge foodie but I have to watch what I eat, and it seems there's something for everyone (but definitely more gourmet on this ship). I have a few suggestions for you though: 1. try to hold the camera steady because it's dizzying otherwise; 2. always remember to finish your comments before cutting the scene (what did you say?); 3. be nice to your server even when you are disgusted by your dish, they work hard and are generally not paid well; 4. Not necessarily your doing, but cruises in general have a horrendous amount of food waste. Keep the vids coming...
Thank you very much for the suggestions. I will do my best to hold the camera more steady and finish the comments. However, I am always nice to my servers. It is not their fault that it isn't to my taste and they didn't make it :) I find it the food waste so appalling on cruises and just everyday living when too many people in the world don't have enough to eat. Thanks also for watching and your time to pass suggestions that can only help my videos. Best to you, Sheila
Have a great trip, Rudy. I look forward to hearing about it and thanks for watching. Any view from you is a good view and appreciated. Best to you, Sheila
Thank you for sharing this video, but I'm quite bothered by your propensity to waste food. At one point, you show us your beef wellington/rock lobster entree and then proudly proclaim " believe me, I'm not eating it all, I (only) want to taste it." Apparently, most of the filet mignon and lobster goes down the trash chute? This is very wasteful and increases the costs for all of us who cruise. There is too much food waste on cruise ships.
Thanks so much for your view and thoughtful comment, Paul. There is incredible food waste on ships! I gave up on not to wasting food since it is an exercise in frustration. At home, everything I don't eat comes home in a baggie for another day. With trays and trays of buffet food for breakfast, lunch and dinner, my uneaten "tastes" are a drop in the bucket. IF, both the tenderloin and lobster were delicious, I would eat them both but much of what I order is not to my taste, e.g., that entree. I'm not faulting the cruise line since it is impossible to please everyone. I also hate to see the abundance of food go down the drain when so much of the world is starving but don't have a solution. Thanks again for your view and I hope you and yours are well during the pandemic. Regards, Sheila 😍
@@SheilaSimkin Thank you for your polite and gracious response. I know my comment was quite forward (some would consider it rude) but this is a pet peeve of mine. Anyway, I did enjoy your video and thanks for letting me dine on Oceania vicariously.
@@paulholt2317 I didn't think your comment was forward at all, Paul. I am really interested in viewer comments and completely agree about food waste; both at home and abroad. Again, thanks for your view and stay healthy! Sheila 😍
I'm booked on an Oceania to Bermuda in July. No telling it will actually go but this is helpful. I hope they offer gluten free options. It looks like most of those desserts are a no go for me. I'm wondering if Oceania's food is any better than NCL or Royal. The presentation definitely looks it.
Oceania definitely wins on presentation. I thought the food was good but not worth their brochure bragging rights. But, as I always say, "We all have opinions." I am positive they will have gluten-free options so no worries on that. I've even noticed gluten free corners in some hotels. The wave of the future 🤔 So hope yours (and my) scheduled cruises go. It's been way too long. Best to you, Sheila 😍
Are you saying, David, tat the food on the Regatta isn't fancy? We just got off another cruise and I'm so sick of fancy, can't wait to eat a Grilled Cheese Sandwich 🤣 Thanks so much for your time to view and comment. Best to you, Sheila 😍
The amount of food that is wasted on all cruise ships could probably feed a small country. Really sad but that's a cruise. Thanks so much J for your time to view and comment and hope all is well with you and yours. Regards, Sheila 😍

I like how this video was done. I'm attracted to Oceania for the food and this answered a lot of my questions quite directly.

Just got back after 20 days on Riviera. Ate my way through the UK, France and Spain. The food is superb. Gained 8.2 lbs. So worth it.

Quite excellent! Loved your review of the food.
Thanks so much for your view and comment. It is very appreciated! I do love food...yum...😍
I have been binge watching your videos. Loving every one of them! Sailing with Oceania for the first time in 2020. 👩🏻🦰❤️🛳

I’m so excited for my Oceania cruise in February, thank you for showing us.
I’m a new subscriber :)
Thanks so much for your sub! And if you don't mind a question, which cruise are you taking? 👍

@@klinzons What fun! Enjoy...🛳🏖
Loved this series of videos.
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kudos and your views. Very best to you, Sheila p.s. Have you visited this area?

This video has gone a long way to persuade me that I might just enjoy a cruise! LOL! Thank you for the video!
Bottomless food and interesting itineraries are definitely right up there on the persuasion scale. :)
Loved the video. The only problem is I'm so hungry now after looking at all the wonderful food on the cruise.

Tuna tartare and escargots…yum!
I wish the portions were smaller. Pearl Seas let you order half portions, which I loved.
Giant chunk of foie gras was so luscious!

Sorry for the long hiatus! The food there looks delicious. I take off on the A350 on Delta this Thursday. Will report on it soon :)

I would have jumped on the guava sorbet. Ooh!
