LHT28

So a handicapped person can book an exit row ? I would think it would be a safety issue in an emergency

are all the offering in the bakery not good or just the cookies ?? DH will be so upset if the baked goods are not good

They had a bar there in the beginning Michaels Club from 2007 https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/558246-michaels-club/

you get to take the slippers if you want I doubt you can trade the champagne in for OBC just ask the butler to remove it so you are not tempted

the showers are small but we have no trouble using them found the stand alone shower on the O class ship more of an issue

That would be the same as booking PH & above on the R ships with Oceania Plus on Oceania even the lower categories get the specialty restaurants & internet included we do not mind the smaller cabins on the Oceania R ships

But what time are you allowed off the ship? Just because the ship may dock at 5 am does not mean pax are allowed to disembark Then consider how long to the airport from the port

some cruise only agencies do not have IATA certifications to book air It costs them $$$ to get the proper documents to do this No problem booking cruises

I am sure they will get plenty of complaints if not your Mid cruise survey would work or a letter dropped off to the GM 😉 Hope the rest of the cruise works out better Lyn

I understand if you book the cruise with the new program It will be air + basic drinks package + a credit to be used for shore excursions on the cruise or no air but still the basic drinks package & credit for excursions The unknown factor is how much the cruise prices will increase for the "FREE" included eatras stay tuned on July 1st to find out the real deal Or if you are booked you get to keep the current option you have chosen

Dinner venues usually open at 6:30 sometimes the reservations will have 6 pm

I wear slacks/dress slacks & a nice top not too much of a bling type person Wear what you feel good in No sweatsuits please

Pre covid it was Champagne

Wow Orv that is too bad we did the tour several years ago found it interesting Mind you I do not drink scotch but many enjoyed the tasting & it showed LOL Hope you get something off the price

That is too bad Jan If that is the case then no more O for us 😪

Take a deep breath Wait until all the details come out in July By 2025 it could change again 😉

Well if it was slow before can't imagine have 2 connection for each cabin If you are not paying for it it is a value to some

Yes at $65 pp & you run the risk of being bumped by someone that needs the seat for a handicapped person I have done Rouge in BIZ & it was fine but not paying $1000 PP Thanks for all the comments will just have to go with the flow & crappy Rouge

just my opinion on the new deal Now Oceania did not ask me for my input but this is my observation if it is take or leave deal with or without air I can see many leaving Oceania because most people like most of the way things are now I can see adding the wine/beer with lunch & dinner as people do not need to drink it if they do not want to Viking does this & they are not suffering If the excursion credit it compulsory this is where things hit the fan Many people do not want ships tours so have to pay more to get tours that you will not use it is self defeating If they are going to be more inclusive & more expensive people will start going to all inclusive /luxury lines that will include a lot more bang for the buck I will wait to see how the new deal plays out but we do not want to be forced into ships tours so will be looking elsewhere to spend our money everyone will have to decide what works best for them in the long term Will see when the T & C's comes out for the new deal

LOL well if you book before the new program starts it is still the "what used to be" In any case if you know you will use the OBC perk then it is a wash as it comes out of your pocket but becomes "use it or lose it " I would just skip the O Life perk & pay any expenses you rack up onboard at the end of the cruise JMO

The Champagne can change depending on cabin categories as well as the supply they get

She has some food photos throughout the blog https://www-cruisediary-de.translate.goog/vista-restaurants-an-bord/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp

They may get some notification once the program is rolled out July 1st let's wait & see

Are you looking at Oceania site ? they show cruise only fares in CAD https://www.oceaniacruises.com/

If you do not drink or even some drinks then just do the cruise only fare The OBC is built into the fare You are basically paying for the OBC yourself & it is non refundable if you do not use it all The non alcoholic beverages are included no package required except for the new Lyre Cocktails they have a fee JMO
