LHT28

Here we go again 🙄

You probably will not be bothered by the bar the cabin is over the GDR Lifeboats are another issue though on the O class ships

The OP is in a PH does that count 🤔

Usually they have a nice bag in the closet heavy plastic with a zipper I would speak to the GM or Concierge to see what is going on Maybe they are getting cheap here is a thread with different ones from the past https://boards.cruisecritic.com.au/topic/2704893-oceania-beachtote-bag/

The sale is also on specific sailings in specific categories Be sure to read the fine print

What ship has C 3 cat? I have not looked closely at Vista

enrichment speakers can be hit or miss You might have better since you are on a segment of the RTW cruise

Get to the lounge early with all your group in tow get your tender tickets & stay in the lounge so you know when your number/colour is called The O shore tours go first but sometimes there is room on the early tenders for independents

I would check the ports of call forum for more info https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/2-ports-of-call/ also look at www.Whatsinport.com

The O class ships have a good size bathroom except the insides The R class ships you need to get a PH + to have a larger bathroom space You could always wait until after the refurb on the O class ships & book a cabin with the tub removed for more space

I pack 1 26" case each for cruises up to 32 days so far 1 wk cruises we take a carry on We have not done World cruises where we would need several cases each so not a problem for us I will do some smalls in the sink if no laundry rooms are available on the ship or just go to the self serve laundry room

What are the new style luggage tags like? Any photos ?? I liked the old ones

Yes Oceania is confusing too bad it turns people off with their games sorry marketing If you liked Viking you may not like Oceania they do not include excursions unless you take the limited O life perk some free excursion per cabin depending on the cruise The beverage package are more than you pay on Viking do not think you can beat $20 PP pd for unlimited drinks 😲 O does not have all balconies On O you only get 1 free internet account per cabin unless in the top suite Food is subjective I can only say give O a try or just stick with Viking O works for us as we do not do ships tours we do not drink much so having included alcohol is not important to us Only you can decide what works best for you JMO

it does depend on the ports if Oceania takes foreign citizens passports at check in Us citizens are not usually in the line up to collect passports at the end of the cruises IME Just the facts of life 😉

But you are American ..it is different for you than other citizens

Silversea in 2023 Seabourn 2022 2023 2024 Check their website for exact dates

If you plan to be back 1 hr prior to ALL ABOARD time not Sailing time he should be fine 😉

Usually they collect ours as we are Canadian even on Caribbean cruises it can also depend on the ports of call & if they would need them for several port clearances I keep a photo copy of mine in the safe ..that is just me

someone posted some the dailies on here not too long ago on a "Live" thread In the past they have had yoga , walking, stretch classes They did have Zumba on some cruises no cost pilates (for a fee) they have lots of equipment treadmills weights etc..

No compensation for other illnesses AFAIK

Look next to the Tour description if they have letter next to the walking figures they are usually not part of the free excursions example of free tours Not included in Free tours In the T & C OLife Choice free shore excursions vary by voyage and exclude Oceania Select, Oceania Exclusive, Executive Collection, Food & Wine Trails, Wellness Discovery Tours by Aquamar, Go Local and Culinary Discovery Tours. https://www.oceaniacruises.com/legal/promotion-terms/

I have only every seen them have the Super Bowl or World Cup final game on But then I am not into either Fortunately we have not sailed during Baseball playoffs 😉
