Thank you all for your help. I telephoned this morning and they have confirmed that I have wi-fi on my next cruise. My agent who dealt with my cruise who is suppose to be a specialist on Oceania cruises  doesn’t know his job. 

So you are saying that even though I did cruise only all cruises have free wi-fi with Oceania for  cruises booked  this year and before October. Would my .TA who works for a big cruise specialist in the UK  get benefit for not giving me free wi-fi.

I will phone Oceania tomorrow. Thank you
i can’t see why the T A wouldn’t give it to me if it was free.I’ve checked with the TA customer services as I have some problems with this cruise. They haven’t confirmed that I don’t have wi-fi.

There’s no free wi- fi on our next cruise Marina. The offer from Oceania via our TA was one of the following free wi- fi OBC or drinks package .

we took the OBC. It’s the first time where the wi- fi was part of the deal. It’s usually included. Just might be for the UK. We don’t get all the offers.

Oceania will use the cheapest flight which will probably be not so good flight times. I asked O about the flight details to see if it’s a direct flights they were long waits between flights and not so good flight times.we cancelled the free airfare and got a discount on cruise only  and booked our own.

If it’s Heathrow your flying from there are plenty airlines who fly direct and you can choose your flight times. I travel from Manchester so it’s a internal flight to Heathrow. It maybe a more expensive for your flight  but you have control and more choice .I would recommend going at least one day earlier.

Any extras or free with your cruise will show on your documents that your TA or Oceania has  sent to you. I thought we had free wi-fi on our next cruise but it’s not included. I always check my documents just to make sure everything has been added.

My husband and I left the ship on the 11th. My husband tested positive on the 11th and I tested positive today. Mild symptoms, but be aware that it's still out there folks! Many of our excursion buses sounded like kennels with all the coughing.

One of the reasons we don’t do any excursions from the ship, our last cruise on Marina ,Covid was very bad and no announcements made by the ship

As part of the rehab I have to do currently to strengthen my Achilles, I need to perform a particular stretching exercise and the best way to do this is using a Reebok (aerobic) step.

 

Just wondered if anyone knows if these are part of the equipment that can be found in the onboard gym? :confused:

I have just come off the Ventura and there are steps available in the gym. There is a 7am class stretch which you may be of interest. The female gym instructor is excellent.

There is some good information under Ports on the Cruise Critic site.

Thank you for the information I shall look on the site

When we were there last year (Spring 2014) there were lots of taxis outside the port. You had to bargain hard, though!

Thank you Ann you have answered my question perfectly.

After making some enquiries we have been told that the cost of a taxi should be around $15 U.S. I contacted a local taxi company and he's quoted $81 U.S. One way. So I will get my bargaining hat on.

Its been 3 years since we last visited Yangon. We would like to know if there are taxis available either in the cruise port or outside the port. The last time we visited there were very little tourism so taxis were scarce. The cruise ship did have a paid shuttle bus but wanted to charge for 2 day shuttles if we stayed overnight in Yangon which are also intending to do this time. If anyone has been to Yangon independently recently we would appreciate your information.

From Hongkong to Dubai with Oceanias Nautica

Does anybody know something about privat tour operaters in the following ports: Nathrang and Saigon in Vietnam, Phuket in Thailand,Yangon ( Rangoon) in Myanmar, Cochin and Mumbai in India? Thank you for your help!

Hi

We are also on the same cruise Hong Kong to Dubai and are also interested in tours in Myanmar. Have you contacted any tour agents? I have had no response from one in Myanmar so I am also going to try Golden Rock tours. What kind of tour are you looking for? As we are in port for 3 days I would like to arrange a tour for 2 seperate days and maybe leave the last free time.
