Yes, seriously. I wasn't the only one and it happened a half dozen or more times.

I prefer to follow the rules personally for the enjoyment of all guests. End of story.

As far as the drain being covered - it never occurred to me that I would have to consider covering a drain especially because of mosquitoes. On the website it clearly states that the dress code is "after 6 in the restaurants no casual jeans (probably meaning blue jeans?), shorts, t shirts, baseball caps, sandals or tennis shoes". All of these things were worn in the restaurants at night on the World Cruise. PH suites on Insignia World Cruise - I repeat were only allowed ONE device. I have more than one device - laptop, iPad, iPhone - as do most people. Maybe they upgraded since July 2023 for you all because I know other ships have excellent service and can use more than one device per cabin. Anything else - I communicated what I experienced personally in my cabin on the 2023 ATW cruise. And, unfortunately, what I mentioned was less than half of what I could have said. Enjoy your cruise.

I had a mosquito infestation in my cabin with that drain in the bathroom! It was treated and they went away. I heard at least 3 other cabins had raw sewage come up through that drain. Dress code in Terrace is no swimsuits. Grand Dining, Toscana and Polo Grill it was no jeans or shorts. All of that was present regularly. I was in a Penthouse Suite. One device per cabin was the rule and it wouldn't even connect more than that at a time. It was so intermittent and slow that some said it was a deal killer for future travel with Oceania. It worked with lightning speed when they wanted you to fill out the Review online a few days before each of the 8 legs ended though. Being single I did shore excursions off the ship as I don't feel comfortable going alone with a taxi or locals in other countries. I don't know anyone that had blinds in a Penthouse Suite on Insignia - it was all drapes.

"Best cuisine at sea" shouldn't be mentioned. Mushy, tasteless boiled vegetables (yellow broccoli), steaks in Grand Dining that couldn't be cut with a knife or chewed, menus in Polo Grill and Toscana never changed the 6 months I was on Insignia for World Cruise, brown congealed bits on salad greens in Terrace Cafe', hot food not hot and cold food not cold, dress code not enforced, lots of Asian foods. Cabins are worn out - (no black out drapes, drapes 4" too short and hard to open and close, bedskirt ripped and torn, loveseat cushion like sitting on the wood frame, cushion clips for veranda seating broken, 110V plug at desk had 2 sockets but could only plug one appliance in at a time, sometimes no hot water, WIFI is close to non-existent and limited to one device per cabin so don't lose your partner onboard, shore excursion descriptions often not what you get (i.e., museum was listed as a highlight but had been closed for 4 years), need I go on?...
