What is the passenger side?

I honestly don't know, since what I posted is the bar list, and have yet to experience SM (Still working with old OL bookings). But I thought the question was about what was available, not what was included in SM.

Under "DESSERT & FORTIFIED" in the "Wines by the Glass" section and under the "APERITIFS & CORDIALS." https://www.oceaniacruises.com/sites/default/files/2023-04/general-bar-menu-oceania.pdf

I suspect that unopened crackers would be OK, but I would be very cautious and ask an official government site and not depend on any advice from here or any other social media site. In New Zealand, the restrictions were rigid, and if you got as far as a customs inspector at any port with any prohibited items such as fruit or vegetables...even a banana or an apple...there is a minimum fine (I think $400) that is instantly assessed. No exceptions and no leniency. And a doctor's note would not make any difference, especially since you can always but snacks in the port.

If it's a true b2b (2 booking numbers) the each segment will have it's own booking window. If its an extended cruise (1 booking number for both segments) then you will be likely to book both segments when the window becomes available.

Just to put excursion cancellations into a bit of perspective, we returned from an Azamara in February, and two nights in Tasmania were cancelled because of sea conditions. We're on the Sirena from Oslo to London on the Sirena from August 10 - 28, 2024. We risk likely cancellations on the Norway to Edinbugh portion at Faeroe islands, Historicaly it's 50-50.

If you do a search on "Beverage Packages" on this forum, you will several posts that discuss this issue in the recent and distant past. The bottom line is that if you have SM, you can upgrade while onboard for $30 per day. Those who are on the old cruise-only OLife program, don't have any lunch/dine/wine/beer drink package included and have to pay the full price of the Prestige package

Yes, it's not always worth it. I just do the math like you did to decide.

Same here! Great plan.

Have you look how many excursion you need to get a 25% across the board discount. In some cases, with the 25% discount, it's cheaper than just adding just one.

🤣

I don't know where @ORV get his numbers, but we found them shared by the Captain at repeater's receptions.

🙌👏 Yea and Thank you.

Isn't the Spa Terrace available to every one, but at a daily fee if it's not included in your stateroom? On the R ships there are no Concierge or executive lounges, so for those ships, there are no restricted areas.

I can see that issue though other cruise lines seem to manage the issue no problem. I agree with uktog. Other similar size ships seem to be able to manage their seatings in 30 min intervals, so I don't understand why AZ can't do it also. It would also spread the demand on the kitchen across the evening instead of two peak times.

Yes, the excursion cart is glitchy, and you need to click the right buttons at the top of the cart...but even then it's can be problematic.. As has been discussed on many threads on this board you should book through your TA to avoid the problems, but don't have a TA, book them through an O agent. However, if you call O and tell them what you want they will adjust the prices and give you a refund.

You can't double reserve for one using a reservation for another.

There is a non-refundable administrative fee that is included in your deposit On our recent booking, it is $150 pp. Then 30 days prior to final payment there is a cancellation fee, which on our recent booking is $500 pp. If you're asking about flight deviation fees, I haven't used O-air, so I don't know the amount.

That's interesting. Perhaps a change. I was told the Big O martini was not available on 2 for 1.

@Zoey123. If as @ORV says, if you are looking at a R ship ( e.g. Sirena), things like the Artist's Loft and the culinary classes are not available.

@Cruisedreamer1 In terms of Happy Hour, specialty drinks are not included in the 2 for 1 discount.

I don't know what applies to TA commissions, but on the passenger level we had to cancel in the 100% penalty level because of a medical emergency, and there was no compensation for port fees and taxes because we didn't pay for them separately.

The fees and port taxes are bundled in the total fare, so they are not separated out at any level of cancellation.

How do you know this? Please provide a source.

But don't firemen always wear blazers? It would seem fitting, even if a bit 🔥.
