yes it should be. I have my TA send me a check about a month after the cruise instead of giving me the OBC

You get a refillable water bottle which doesn’t keep the water cold and is difficult to drink out of so bring your own. They will give you a bottle of Champagne which you can turn in for a bottle of wine and finally a very nice waterproof Oceania bag for you to keep as well. Have a great trip.

Hi i wouldn’t try to spend it all until you call Oceania. We have had some OBC that we were able to cash in. Depends where it comes from. So it’s worth the call

Hi, scheduled to sail on July 13th on Marina. It will be our 16th or 17th cruise on O. As I read this link I can reflect on my previous cruises and am struck by the fact that on past cruises along the Atlantic iOcean we have also missed these ports. We have never gotten to Oporto. Maybe they should just stop including it as a port since they don’t seem to be equipped to handle the docking situation. I can tell you that based on my experiences and the ones you have had, we will not take any of their cruises that go along the coast. I even went and looked at our itinerary for our next cruises to see if it could happen to us. We are safe only crossing from Southampton to the Baltic and the second we will be only in the Mediterranean Sea. I think I mentioned in a previous comment that I anticipate one missed port. It is more the norm than the exception from our experiences. I am careful to pick port intensive sailings for that reason so if we miss one it’s not a big deal for us. I agree fully that I believe we should be compensated for port fees and have also written it in the mid and final comments. I too have never gotten a response. I know that O is planning on changing up things starting in January 2024. Hope it is in the passengers favor. I agree I could go on dozens more cruises if we didn’t sail Oceania. However, I keep seeing how close I am to the free cruise I feel locked in at this point. Maybe after that 20th I’ll try Celebrity again. We did love their Aqua class.

Have your TA contact Oceania to inform them of your allergy. I have a fish allergy and i am contacted by the head of food services when we embark. One warning, if you eat at Buffet, you need to ask each server if egg is in the ingredients. Anywhere you are served they will be aware. Fern
