So sad

The ocean is our home away from home

Hi,

The suite we had and the balcony were awesome I never wanted to leave the room

Loved the flowers

Wished our one housekeeper wasn't so busy He had many rooms to service, as well as ours

We cancelled the daily ice, snacks and candy Nice to have but not necessary for us

Wish you a happy time [emoji4]

Local handicrafts on port days would be a great addition

Really nice photos Thanks

Has anyone used OBC for a future cruise deposit?

Granville Island is a great place for lunch and sitting near the water

I would take the shuttle into town then go the Main Street and enjoy There are several places for margaritas there Others may suggest a favorite place

I had this happen too and called O and couldn't get a resolution on what was what

When I got on the ship, the excursion was confirmed

Once I tried for a refund on a bad shore excursion and I was sent in circles - write it up, wait for Miami to approve

Miami said they needed time for review By that time I was home No refund

I think it's good to let others here on cruisecritic know you were dissatisfied

I do hope O eliminates the poor performers, but I don't know this for sure

I think shore excursions should have a separate evaluation form so that feedback can go to O as well as the tour company and guides

I would stay at a hotel near a hoho bus stop and buy a 2-day ticket and get around that way

Good question

It good to back up and think of the big picture and why you need insurance

Our first time we bought insurance mainly because we felt we needed to cover the contingency that if one of our parents got sick, we wouldn't want to cruise

Another time, the cruise was so expensive, we wanted it covered no matter what

Another reason to insure was that our health insurance didn't cover doctor visits in international ports

As far as start and end dates, we use the dates we actually travel so we insure the days ahead of the cruise and after

Also good to know if the insurance covers pre-existing conditions

So many more questions and so many questions about just in case things that you sometimes learn the answer to when you have a problem

Good luck

Thank you I have enjoyed your thoughtful posts

I enjoyed the tour We met owners in their houses and shared their reasons for living in Hawaii I would do it again

We went to 3 places

I agree, silkman On the July 2016 Insignia cruise it seemed like the Internet was lacking big time

I wonder if the Insignia upgrade is set for late summer

Thanks for alert

This particular OLife condition is news to me

I too missed the fine print

We got an OLife excursion cancellation notice when we got onboard and were able to add another OLife excursion

Scary stuff I hate it when trails aren't marked I wonder if these were

Nice job on the review Thanks

Our TA suggested we add a deposit to the wait list request We did and it cleared about a month later

Steel cut oatmeal

Great review

It helps set our expectations when we board Sirena later this year

Thanks

I would bring one each

I second pre-ordering advantage- the water is inexpensive We ordered 24 bottles pre cruise It was waiting for us onboard

Sad

Hello Benita, miss you

We did Alaska cruise together

You were so helpful and had so many tips for us

We are on Insignia now [emoji4]

Georgia and Peter

Thanks
