Luxury For Less

Glad to announce, live from Marina in a B3 cabin, that Bvlgari is the norm now. I personally like them, though the old "stuff" wasn't anything to shake a stick at. Either way, we are LOVING this ship all over again. Time to head off to Toscana! :)

Excellent news! Thanks so much for the live update! Have a wonderful cruise and enjoy the Bvlgari

:D

There is typically a 20 for $20.00 offer towards the middle of longer cruises. We've taken advantage several times. It is washing, not ironing of 20 pieces and is done overnight when the laundry is taken the morning of the date.

In your experience, do you think they'll have the offer on a 12 night cruise?

Thanks so much

Hi All,

I wondered if during a cruise, Oceania offered a deal to fill a bag with laundry for a given price? We've had this with other cruise lines e.g. Azamara, and it worked well for us and saves either having to use the onboard laundry or wash out underwear in the bathroom sink :D

Thanks in advance

Sorry to hear that only Bvlgari products are now available on Oceania. Although I book Concierge level, I normally have the Bvlgari products removed and replaced with "regular" Oceania brand since I dislike the Bvlgari aroma....oh well...I guess I will now be forced to "enjoy" it in the future:rolleyes:

Feel free to send any unwanted Bvlgari products my way! :D

Having said that, what impressed me about the "regular" O products was the large bottle size. It wasn't a constant fight to try to get the contents out of the usual hotel type regulation tiny ones!

Thanks all for your thoughts and for the article. As a Molton Brown and Bvlgari junkie, I'm really excited about the expansion of the Bvlgari range to all grades in Riviera and Marina in August. Our cruise is on the 2nd August so it looks like perfect timing.

:D:D:D

Hi All,

We have just received our Cruise Vacation Guide for our forthcoming cruise on Marina and note that the bathroom amenities listed under "your Stateroom" are Bvlgari. I thought Bvlgari products were only provided for Conceirge and above and we are are in a standard Verandah B3. On our last cruise on Insignia in 2011, the products in our stateroom were non descript but pleasant enough. I just wondered if there had been a change?

Thanks all

:D

This Forum is an excellent idea. I have never sailed with Oceania but will be in November so will certainly be adding to it with our experiences with shuttles during our cruise.

Thank you

Yes, thank you so much "2FLtravellers", we are on La Marguerite with our 16 year old son and friends from Ireland in June and we really feel as though we have read a fantastic "trailer" of the cruise, what to expect down to the last detail. Thanks so much for taking the time to do such a comprehensive review.
