LHT28

You probably need a doctor in the USA to write the RX

We sailed the Insignia in the Irish sea during a force nine gale a bit bumpy but so was Riviera in the Atlantic during a storm If you suffer from "the motion of the ocean" take meds with your Look at the itinerary it should tell you if you go into the fjords or not

Yes we both have watches & bathrobes, new suitcase to haul the booty home 😉 DH had 3 watchers he does not need anymore IMO he thinks otherwise though 😄

If you want BIZ I would just take the air credit from O & DIY Usually a lot cheaper

Yes they do not make it easy for people to understand some of their offers & rules I have a good TA so leave the heavy lifting to her 😉 Hopefully someone in the UK can shed some light on the issue for you I looked also for the double dipping rules here but nothing so far

Some offers are not combinable might be something in the T & C fine print on Oceania website under Legal at the bottom of the page Not sure if different rules in the UK apply

next day is Captains Party usually It will work out in the end LOL

I am amazed people book a cruise & have no idea anything about the cruise line & what it offers Do people not read what your cruise offers or is included ? I know many do not read the fine print but at least check what is or is not included in you cruise fare https://oceaniacruises.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/

That is how it usually works But sailing day the Officers are very busy We have had the M & G a day or so later & officers were there depending on who was available We have had 100plus so usually just bring blank name tags for people to fill out when they arrive

The scary part for me is I DO remember the last time & it was many many years ago OMG I am old 😲

My TA has given us OBC but makes it clear it is Non Refundable Make sure you clarify the source of the OBC & if is truly REFUNDABLE sometimes it is a pass through from the cruise line We have had REFUNDABLE OBC that we did not spend & we got cash on the last full day of the cruise from reception The phone the cabin to tell us to collect it before the evening

We are not foodies but we do like other things about Oceania that keeps us coming back Jacques is too fancy for our tastes Plant based foods too yuppie for us 😄 I like Polo DH is not a Fan I like RG for the most part DH could eat in Toscana every night if he could GDR usually has something good we will like We have never gone hungry so I am sure we will survive with Ember & other venues We try to avoid the Terrace for Breakfast & dinner If you are not a fan of a certain venue then just do not go there others that like that venue will thank you If they find some restaurants are empty they might just make changes to that menu I do not have to cook the food or do the dishes so I am happy with whatever YMMV

coughing without covering your mouth/nose is rude DH has allergies but he does cover his face if he is sneezing & now has some cough from our recent (Feb) bout of covid The difference whether you attempt to not spread the germs or not Long before cough we had "cruise cough" from people walking around just coughing into the air with no attempt not spread their germs We seemed to end up sick on most of our cruises JMO

You may not know if they are on board 😉

That is YOUR fav but not everyones We will take Halibut or haddock not a fan of Cod but then it depends on where the cod is sourced Tonight it is Perch & chips 😃

Probably if you overnight then just tell the Purser you will be leaving at 3or so am & carrying your own bags off

😄 No Oceania is more subdued than Virgin I am sure Maybe not as lively as you may want just depends on what you like Food is subjective but we have not gone hungry on Oceania yet 😉 Always seem to bring home a few lbs extra Enjoy

Bonnie I am with you what next hair leg contests & beer pong That will appeal to those that want the younger demographics

😲 How rude Do they know what that artwork costs it is not Park West crap If that is they type of pax that are migrating to O glad we are nearing the end of our cruising time Will stick to other modes of travel

Some people seem to be able to add others in lower cabins so give it a try JMO

The Riviera will be even nicer now since her makeover Mike does a great job taking photos of everything 😄

What starting dates are the cruises ? Maybe this is part of the new program

It does not hurt to ask for an FCC It is tricky to spend that much if you are not a big drinker or a spa person I had more than that & came home with a bunch of stuff we really did not need Still have some shirts with the tags on them LOL

They used to have the hand held dryer (2016) so I am guessing they still do The spa terrace just has a hot tub no pool probably the same as on Azamara
