Most of what you are planning would be more than a month if you can get the cruises to line up for you
Or you will be flying back n forth cross country
Suggest pick maybe Alaska cruise in late summer then Panama Canal cruise from the west coast to Florida
Do some research online as to where/when the ships sail
Lower your expectations of seeing it all in one month
Happy planning
Just call Oceania & ask for it
If your cruise is made up of other segments they may have to get the PDF for the segments
Are your Excursions listed online now?
Not sure why you have to wait to book if so
When you get onboard go to the dinner reservations deck & ask if you can switch out RG for Tuscan
It should not be a problem
If not just cancel skip RG it is not mandatory
Give the GDR a try you may like it LOL
Layers Mitts & hat
Rain jacket would also be a good idea you can layer it over a fleece jacket to cut the wind

There have been several discussion here on the rental cars in Sydney
They are a small town/city & when the cruise ships are in it is first come first serve res or no res
Not a lot of rental cars available
We were going to book a car back in 2019 but after reading the comments we decided to just give the renting idea a pass

Maybe they will have a choice so they can decide to protect themselves for the PAX bringing covid & other viruses onboard
I am sure they are tired of getting sick also
Well 28 is the day of the month I was born on 🙂
I am not quite "Up wing" in your age opinion
I bet you can beat me at pickleball too as I never play the game
If table mates ask us about politics etc
We say we do not discuss politics, religion, Canadian healthcare
If the topic continues we excuse ourselves before dessert

You can still use ARRIVECAN when you return to Canada for Customs/immigration

Maybe O will update the website before your cruise 😉
I think the difference between NCL & Oceania is that you can adjust or remove the "Gratuity" if you choose to but the "Service Fee" you need a really good reason to remove it
One is mandatory the other is not
Just my take on it
I have not heard of that class but if it interests you book it now
You have to pay at the time of booking
I am surprised they have them on a port day usually just when at sea IME

I got my jacket at Marks a few years ago
the pouch was handy to store it in the summer
They have lots of jackets now that are lightweight but warm & pack well
