if your cruise is 10 days or less just park at the port Option 2 get a hotel with a park & cruise deal

Is it noted on your invoice that you have the Bev package & PPG? The IT dept probably has not figured out how to go into individual accounts & remove the options JMO

just a comment A friend was on Insignia recently & DH zoomed with him daily some days when people were coming back to the ship it was a bit choppy but other times it was fine It depends on the number of users online Timing is everything 😉 When onboard DH rarely uses the internet & I am usually on for CC/emails maybe banking is required I am on vacation 😃

Do you get free access to the internet on RCL?

Congratulations The big question did you need to spend it immediately or is it used on your next cruise ??

I think you are reading too much into it If it was included in the bev Packages there would not be the option to check the PPG box JMO

Sounds like maybe they are raising the daily gratuities Looks like pax can opt to pre pay them or pre purchase the beverage packages (for those not taking O life Beverage deal) since you already get the PPG I would not worry about it JMO

but not on embarkation day unless in a top suite as posted above

Is it noted in your booking? or some place else? I will never be in a top suite so have no idea how that works 😉

Would that not be a bribe if they were give cash before being seated ?? I remember that & was surprised as I knew who was fired & never thought they would do that too bad

Why would it be more via the TA? they must be charging you extra for something? Makes no sense

O prefer the old way with the paper survey that I could do the last night or mail in after the cruise I would do an online cruise when I got home if that was available We do like to give the crew that work hard a mention in the surveys too bad they make it so hard to do the surveys now

maybe not showing on the Canadian site for VS & OC I did see it offered on Sirena OS only Have not checked the others It is not on my radar or pocket book 😉

So I guess the big question is what Cabin Category is the OP in?? OS suite or lower ?? 😉 Funny it was not listed for VS or OC on Riviera description

Do you mean your Travel assistant or directly on Oceania website ??

Entertainment teams will change every few month but the shows are pretty much the same daily activities same thing

Have you joined the ROLL CALLS? You can meet online before https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/323-nautica-roll-calls/

I would be surprised if they did but I would check with the Butler when you board

I would do 10 + if you have the time the 7 day ones you are just getting comfortable then have to pack up 😉 You probably can opt out of the air just like in N.A. bookings Enjoy what ever cruise you choose

I do not believe they do room service until dinner time the crew are way to busy with other jobs

I believe you have to call them https://oceaniacruises.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360005404994-How-may-I-book-spa-treatment-before-my-cruise-

Do you mean the O Life deal or if you are buying it yourself? I know in N.A. bookings if you choose O Like perk boht pax have to choose the same deal

The UK may have different rules but yes anyone can get the beverage package Maybe someone in the UK will comment on how it works for UK cruisers In any case do the math

lots of good info https://oceaniacruises.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/ https://www.oceaniacruises.com/legal/terms-conditions/

The ship is smaller than probably what you are used to Look at the size of the cabins before you decide the PH may be equal to main stream lines The beverage package with O Life is Beer Wine by the glass with Lunch & dinner ONLY you can upgrade once onboard for $20 PP PD that will include most drinks on the menus You can take wine onboard & if you choose to take it to a dining vene pay the corkage fee of $25 you can drink it in your cabin no charge you can take spirits to drink in your cabin if you choose No fee for the Specalties You need to compare the airfare with what you can get diy the included air is economy flying in/out same day as the cruise I would opt to fly in earlier either do your own air or pay the deviation fee & choose the flights/routing that suit you value is subjective if you are thinking of 2025 you have lots of time to do the research do the math & read the fine print JMO
