Interesting Did the prices go up since you booked the cruise?
The BROCHURE FARE listed is double what the O fare with air/O life is for my cruise
The Cruise only fare is $1150 less than The OLife fare
just an example
The fee is no longer applied to another cruise
Your TA may or may not be able to work out something to have the Admin fee transfered but do not count on it now
It could be handled in such a way not to distress more people this close to the schedule changes
Most are on the RTW cruise so they do not have much choice but go where the ship takes them
But for those maybe joining the ship soon they could just say
"due to the situation in Myanmar we will cancelling that port & we are working on an alternative itinerary"
Yes some will be upset & some will understand but to leave people in limbo is not doing anyone any favours
But the silence & denial that anything is wrong is just making people angry
JMO
Good work 😉
I wonder if they will allow you to give the extra Oceania supplied OBC to the crew ?
I tried that a few yeas back & they would not do it
Anyone donate their Oceania OBC to the crew with success?
Vacations should not be this hard
You have to drive yourself nuts with O before you get to the ship
I need a vacation just booking an O cruise these days 😃🍷
You are paying for the non refundable OBC you could just skip the O Life perk & pay as you drink or buy the Prestige package
Do the math & see what works for you
maybe it was the previous ports
We came from France before SOU
But on other cruise we had stopped in Falmouth before disembarking in Dover that time we were on the bus at 6:30 am but it was many years ago
They usually do the refits in Italy (not always) & somewhere someone posted it was scheduled in for the shipyard in Genoa Italy
Maybe someone who was on Riviera will comment if their were fed scraps from the pantry before she headed into dry dock
This year it seems all lines were having supply issues, shortages of food & staff
Do they require a passport to sail??
Good to have but usually US citizens can sail on closed loop cruises with BC & Government issued photo I.D.
Or has that changed ?
In 2019 it seemed to take forever to get off
We had to do a F2F with the authorities
I would not book a pick up before 8 am
We were stay in Southampton so were not rushing but it was after 9 when we disembarked
Deck 6 will mostly be Blue you could put your new cabin number on them or just get new ones at the port
Cabin type may have different colour coding
OS may be different than PH same as the room cards
