Also, you don't get the 25% discount for excursions on the second cruise, even though you booked enough of them to qualify for it on the first leg.  They are truly separate cruises to Oceania, well except for being able to access it under "My Account" or under "My Reservation".

That is what we have been doing.  

For several months we have been trying to access our booking, make dinner reservations and update our travel information for our upcoming B2B 30 day cruise on the Oceania website.  All it says is  :"Error..... Back to Back or combo reservations cannot be managed online while we upgrade our online system. Please contact your travel agent or Oceania Cruises for assistance. We apologize for any inconvenience".

After contacting customer service, our TA, and their website service requests for answers this is the answer we we got:

Thank you for contacting the Special Services desk at Oceania Cruises.

 Kindly be advised that due to your Combo Bookings updating can only be done with our Reservations Department.  Our website is unable to handle these types of bookings.

 Please contact our Call Center at 1-800-531-5658 and any Cruise Specialist will be able to assist you.

 Thank you for choosing Oceania Cruises and we look forward to welcoming you onboard.

Sad and unacceptable.  

Great perspectives !

We have a limited stop in Cienfuegos, Cuba and the cruise line offers a trip to Trinidad.  Is it worth going to see or is staying in Cienfegos just as interesting?  This isn't the only stop in Cuba, will have stopped at two other ports.  Thanks in advance for your opinions.

They did a few posts back.

Gidgetwidget was looking for a pictures of  ilsun  cabin, not Bob Browns.  I think that Bob Brown is in a different category of cabin.  Many of us want to see the A/B closets.

When you go to the forum you want to search   click on the thread  EG  shuttles

Then top right  there is  a box  SEARCH   click on the word search &  a menu  will drop down

then click on  THIS TOPIC   

type in the search word(s)

FYI  there is  a post  that lists most of the ports & if they have shuttles or not  look for post #404

Just tried it; very easy and worked great!

I looked at flights on United for the day we would be flying; 2 to 3 thousand for coach and 7 grand for their "Premium Economy"!   Not sure this was the upgrade O would get for the extra $199 I paid.  Anyone ?  

Is there a way to search within a specific board?  An example would be I am looking for information about a certain airport, town, port, etc, I get tons of pages to search through to find something similar to my question.  It hits on everything from avitars to hometowns and includes every cruise line.  Another example is on the Oceania forum, they have a thread that lists the shuttles from the boat in each city.  It is impossible to find the port I am searching for without looking through page after page, I just give up.  Thanks in advance and we love the help and support CC gives us.

Very nice !

First time O cruiser flying from Denver to London in July for the Transatlantic back to Miami.  Because O doesn't assign flights until 75 days out I am looking for others experiences with flight times and possible airlines.  We have to make our own arraignments to Denver and not sure what times most planes leave for England.   Is the upgrade to "Premium Economy" worth it?  We have sailed on many lines, just no experience with O.  Thanks in advance.

Thanks all, this was REALLY helpful.  Found the Insignia June 23 docking in the Port of Dublin, which must be the Alexandra Quay area.

Very nice pictures.   Because of the little one, I think we will look at day passes at the nearby resorts.

It could be cold, especially in Newfoundland. Do you also go to Iceland or Greenland? They can be cold too.

No Greenland or Iceland, we head south from Newfoundland and hit a couple places in Nova Scotia, and then all the way to Miami and then Cuba !  What do you consider cold for Newfoundland and at sea?

What is your embarkation port?

Glad you asked !  Cork, Ireland to St. Johns, Newfoundland

Any idea how far from town the cruise dock is?

Could not find a place to put this question other than here.  We will be doing a Trans-Atlantic in Mid June.  Any suggestions on how cold it is and typical dress for being outside during the crossing?

I see you posted somewhere else, and it was moved to the Mexican Riviera forum, where it belongs.  EM

Other than your comment, do you have anything regarding my question?

We will be in Dublin on a Sunday and sailing on Oceania.  Has anyone done the Hop on Hop off trolly's there.  Is the stops near the cruise boats and can you buy tickets on the bus?  Our cruise has terrible tours in Dublin, this looks like a good alternative.

Thank you, JF - retired RRT

Have you tried asking on the appropriate ports of call forum?

Can you point me in the direction of the Mexico ports forum?   I can find Mexican Riviera and Panama Canal, but not Mexico.  I already put it on the Panama Canal forum, but there are cruise boats that go to Huatulco that do not go to the Panama Canal.  

We are taking the 15 day Panama Trip with our kids and 2 year old grandchild.  They want to go to the beach for the day and I am looking for two things:

1)  Are the beaches at the dock clean and can you rent chairs and especially shade

2)  The resorts nearby have day passes.  I am looking for suggestions for which ones and your experiences and prices at those.

Thank in advance and happy sailing!
