Creator's Key Takeaways

We crossed the Pacific by cruise ship — from Hawaii to French Polynesia on the Oceania Regatta — and spent a four days at sea.

I was really struggling. Um the chicken the I'm sorry, the beef mole was actually really good. There's just a lot of chunks of fat inside it.

So, the verdict on your Moroccan tasting lunch. That was a good tip. I I don't know how I've been on two other Oceanana cruises and not realized that to look at the bottom right of the menu and get this tasting.

So, we were excited about lobster night, but it was one of the weirdest presentations of lobster we've ever had.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Look for the tasting menu in the bottom right corner of the lunch menu.
If prone to seasickness, consider a mid to mid-aft cabin and bring patches.
