LHT28

Just go back into the speciatly res & keep checking I was able to get 2 tops earlier after a week or so of booking If all else fails ask once onboard at the desk on Deck 5

Ember was not open for lunch

The laundry room is off a hallway that goes from port to Starboard it will not be an issue Enjoy

I think it is the new non alcoholic ones made with Lyre that have a fee I never got around to trying one of the new non alcoholic spirits Your pina Colada are still free 😉

It was mentioned before I think they are for the 2025 sailings ??

Good to know Easier to see if Baristas was open on the R ships Our disembarkation time slot was 8:30 so getting food was a priority for us 😉 We tip the day before so as not to miss them 😉

We walked through the seating area & yes there are tables but I do not think they are used on a regular basis ?? They do bring the hot water for the afternoon tea from that area into Horizons

From the deck plan they look like the extended balconies Some of the aft PH on deck 11 will have the deeper extended balconies also

This was our notice delivered to the cabin the night before too bad your cruise did not give you a notice miami.iami.pdfpdf

Thanks for your approval 🙄

many do not READ the paperwork or the daily Currents The announcements were heard in all public areas on disembarkation day IME YMMV

They usually have the guest entertainers do 2 shows To be fair the movie was on the night we overnighted in NYC & many went ashore for the evening We enjoyed the movie complete with popcorn in the Vista lounge

Some CD's like to hear themselves talk We have had a couple but for the most part it was the morning announcement then noon & maybe a reminder for afternoon events starting soon & an evening announcement Piped music happens ... most is low & background noise

Embarkation day I would be there by 7pm & do let Oceania know you will be arriving late The port check in people may not still be working & you may have to check in onboard JMO

Unfortunately this is normal people do not listen or follow the guidelines No matter how many announcements asking people not to go to the exit area until their number is called people block the exit route then just stand there with their bags block people getting off They also announce to have your card ready to swipe off the ship one lady ahead of us was in a panic as she threw hers away that morning PEOPLE you still need to swipe out for the last time

My guess is that they meant no aft elevators to deck 5 you need to go to the forward ones to get to deck 5

a comment on the mobility scooters/wheelchairs etc There were a lot less onboard this sailing than we have encountered on other Oceania cruises JMO

On VISTA recently the restaurants closed 8 or 8:30 am & I do not even think Baristas was open though I did not go & check

What is SB list? The only river cruise we were on it was a choice of red or white ..whatever the waiter were carrying around Oceania you can choose from the "wine by the glass" list for the Simply More package at meals

On the VISTA most of the doors to the outside decks either had a sensor when you got close the door opened or they have a red button on the wall you wave your hand in front & the door opens for you The public washrooms had the green button .wave you hand infront & the door opens same as the H/C stall then inside wave infront of the red button door locks also an emergency pull cord in the H/C stall Cannot comment on the accessible cabins there were a couple we passed on deck 7 the door is wider but we did not see in the cabin so hope someone will comment further The staff are very helpful moving a chair if needed to pass in the public areas but most seem fine maybe Horizons could be an issue but some of the crew will move the chair out of the way

I do not believe the lifeboats go that far back The are inbetween the elevator banks We were in a B5 & you did see the top of the life boat looking straight down but not really an obstruction of the views IMO

You can also just wait until the morning a later to book unless a 7 day cruise then you probably will not get an earlier time slot if any

Nothing trumps a refund An FCC has to be used in a certain time frame

If you tell the "wine steward" what wine you brought onboard they probably could suggest something from the menu to pair with your wine On the GDR menu they have suggestions of the wine from the list to have with certain dishes Sample menu see page 2 https://www.oceaniacruises.com/sites/default/files/2021-01/Grand-Dining-Room-Dinner-Menu.pdf

Not to be missed IMO
