LHT28

I use a zip tie you can get a bundle of them at the Dollar store I also put our address etc as well as the ship name/itinerary in an outside pocket of the case & also on the inside Might be overkill but then they have no excuse to say they could not contact us We do not put the cruise line tags on until we are leaving the hotel & heading to the ship On disembarkation I remove any tags other that our personal one before handing it over at the airport also watch for the bar code stickers some airlines put on your cases

Yes I believe it is 20% The Beverages packages have the gratuity included So you can do the math & see what works best for you

Thank you I have only seen it when going to the USA Good to know

Can you use it to get through security faster in Canada if flying to UK or Europe? On your return to Canada in a Canadian airport from Countries other than the USA? Sorry i did not spell it out completely

Can you use the Nexus cards when going to Europe?? I thought it was just for crossing into the USA via land or air We do not travel much so never really looked into it

Maybe the longer distance from stove to table in the GDR the egg continues to cook while waiting to arrive at the table vs standing at the window the egg is on your plate & in your mouth within minutes Our complaint if it is one is the food does not arrive HOT in the GDR sometimes warm but rarely HOT

If you are worried about the lines being dragged down by debt then I think you have your answer Go with MSC or one with private financing until the debts of the other lines are paid off & things either improve or go further down hill No one can say what the ship/service/food will be like on any given sailing you have travelled enough to know this JMO PS I think this whole exercise is just a wind up 🤔

Well at least you know what line works best for you Enjoy life it has an expiry date

AFAIK there is no indoor pool on any Oceania ship

I have never been fingerprinted or had iris scans like some visitors to the USA have to go through

there is a thread from Jan the prices will probably be same https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2904150-riviera-new-bar-drinks-menus-and-prices/

how ever did you find that link 🙄😄

Book the Vista then Of course if people are unhappy more will post about their negative experience & not so much the positives You are an experienced cruiser ...right?

I guess it depends on the TA I get the group rate with our US TA as well Booked last few cruises in CAD

if you know what terminal you depart from you can check places to eat/shop/relax https://www.orlandoairports.net/getting-around-mco/shops-restaurants/

I think it depends on your interests There are limited things to do in those areas not like in the Caribbean I would look at the Tourism boards & see what is there then decide what works for you https://tourisme.saguenay.ca/files/cartes_et_brochures/magazine_croisieres_2018_anglais_web.pdf

We may just have to wait for the Official announcement from O 😉 Maybe some of the VIP's will have insider info but they may not be willing to share

In parts of Europe if it is a Holiday they are closed they do not care if there are ships in port It is their holiday

Some waiters will ask if there is a problem but some may think you are just not hungry or you just wanted a taste If the dish is not to your liking just mention it to the waiter No need to jump up & shout that it is awful just quietly tell them the issue We had an issue in one of the Specialties nothing serious but a training thing We wrote a note gave it to the Concierge we got a call from the restaurant manager apologizing the waitstaff person was new & the Manager was training them but got busy with the reservation guests "stuff happens " but he thanked us so he could keep a closer eye on the new trainee YMMV

Thanks for sharing that info I will just use the spa credit for a cheaper service then

You can check the AMS connections https://www.schiphol.nl/en/transfers/

Carmen did say at the top of the page that there were no prices as the drinks were included "Nine bars and lounges are available to guests aboard Oceania Cruises' Vista . Unfortunately, the bar menus were not priced as all drinks were included due to the event."

You should notify Oceania ahead of time have it noted in your file of your wife's condition they will provide menus the day or two before for your wife to choose items & they will work with her to provide safe meals If you go to the Buffet ask to speak to the Chef so he can walk you through the safe food items Do not leave it to chance it can ruin your cruise JMO

I have said this before Oceania is not perfect no matter what some people say Stuff happens If you do not want to bring a problem to the attention of management so be it

you will have plenty of time to grab a bite to eat & shop if you choose 😉
