LHT28

I agree We sailed 2004 then 4 yrs later one of the waitstaff kept looking at us at tea time then made his way over to our table he remembered us from the cruise 4 yrs previous Plus people do become friendly with some of the crew & it was nice on the small ships as you got to chat with some when they were not busy

my guess will be in 2027

Built in 2011 but this is not a normal fluff job She has been refurbished over the years

Maybe sent to your TA??

the porter will have blank tags just let them know you do not have yours

You can check on O website just scroll down the page https://www.oceaniacruises.com/value#value-packages For cruise critic search feature on a computer go to the top right when on the Oceania home page Click on SEARCH just under your CC user name put in the keyword hit Enter On phones it probably is different

Oceania includes the gratuities for their butlers but you are free to add more if you choose https://oceaniacruises.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360005476793-What-is-your-gratuity-policy- Some think the butler is theirs alone & he stands by waiting to act on your wishes when you call 😁

You are well ahead of me LOL Enjoy

Your TA could have contacted O to find out how to get it for their clients 🤔 My TA has no problem attaching it to our invoice when she emails it to us

Some CD's are better than others some talk too much on the public system & we would like to avoid those ones But we go for the itinerary so have to take the good with the bad 🙂

As I said I did not know they had O Life Lecturers I have not sailed in a couple of years & they did not have them then

Thanks Did not know they had "O Life " lecturers

What is an O Life Speaker? They have a TV in the bathrooms ???

I would give them all a try then decide what works for you Everyone has their favourite 😉

Do they make you clean your plate? 🤔

That is a PITA for you Is Fly Ready a Delta thing? I have not used Delta in many years Not flown since 2019 either so maybe something new

No you have to call O to do it or ask your TA

even with ports you dock in can be risky if the weather or seas are bad We have yet to make it to Holyhead Wales I would look at the port of Southampton & see what ships sail from there & do round trips https://www.cruisecritic.com/cruiseto/cruiseitineraries.cfm?port=111&depcity=270 Then look at number of tender ports if you want to have a few as possible Late June early July might be safe but pack a rain jacket no matter

People book these excursions just stop booking them Stop buying products you disagree with

Ask your TA or O for the PDF file of the excursions Our TA usually included it with our email with the invoice

Also check if the cruise line require ALL pax to have passports or not

If you want to do a deviation fly in early or stay after the cruise yes you can work with O 270 days out to find flights that work for you or if you just want to choose flights & routings After you both agree on the flights you will pay a non refundable deviation fee currently $175 pp I believe you can ask to have them ticketed after final payment Or you can just take the air credit then when flights open up book your own air especially if you want BIZ class Did I mention before NEVER BOOK BIZ CLASS WITH O JMO

Usually the O reps are outside baggage claim area just look for them with the paddle or sign

Is the cruise booked in her maiden name? Then yes just wait until they return if you can not get it changed in time

Does he need a passport for the cruise ? Some closed looped cruises US citizens can just use their birth certificate & D.L How is the cruise booked ? married name ? Maybe just use current passport
