@CruiseLifestyle29 күн бұрын
If I remember rightly, we’d been eating lots of salad in the run up to this cruise 😂 so that might be why we didn’t choose many! You can always get salad items in the buffet during lunch and dinner.

@CruiseLifestyle we saw a woman in Cherbourg moaning how crap the ship was because she ordered ice to her cabin and it never came. She also was complaining about waiting 5vmibs for the lift. 5000 people on board, there's always the stairs. Honestly you can't please some people. I would have been happy staying on that amazing ship all 5 days.

@@markenetube some people will always find something to complain about. I remember hearing someone moaning that they didn’t think the corn flakes were Kelloggs in the buffet. What I’ve learnt to do is make my own mind up about things and it sounds like you do the same.

What a lovely spacious cabin. I don’t always like sleeping with the air conditioning on as it is very drying, so as you can open the window a little or a lot I can imagine having it open at night and fall asleep to the sound of the ocean.

It was a really good size for the two of us. You could have the window open if you wanted but you’d have to keep the blind up.

Hi really useful video thank you. We have just returned from a trip on the Jane Austen (ruby deck) and really enjoyed it. On arrival we found single beds pushed together but with seperate duvets. We asked for it to be made up as a true double and whilst it was, that appeared to be an odd request to them. We returned from dinner and all was well but I would welcome your view on if you have found that odd arrangement of singles pushed together with seperate duvets on Rivierra?
@CruiseLifestyleАй бұрын
I understand that lots of ships have single beds that can then zip together to join and this means it can be flexible depending on what people want. I’m glad that they were able to sort that for you when you requested it. I don’t recall ever having single duvets on a river ship but I have come across it in European hotels so I’m wondering if that’s the reason? As Riviera is mainly British (some Australian) you would think the duvets would be doubles. Hope it didn’t cause too much uncomfort - sounds like you still enjoyed the cruise overall.
@Gmarkw2Ай бұрын
@@CruiseLifestyleThanks Laura. Sorted and no overall problem. We loved the cruise. it was just that it appeared we were requesting something which was not the norm to them which we thought should be. 😊

It's such a beautiful destination, but the infrastructure sadly isn't up to dealing with the sheer number of guests visiting by cruise. We took the ferry to Oia instead when we went the second time to avoid the whole cable car system
@CruiseLifestyleАй бұрын
It is, the proposed cap at 8k passengers is still too much in my opinion. Our original plan was to take the ferry to Oia like you did but when we arrived, the first ferry didn’t leave for 1.5hrs and the cable car was quiet. I wouldn’t want to visit in the high of the season!
