We will be arriving in Singapore on the Oceania Insignia. The Insignia is a small ship and is able to dock at ports closer to city centers. Does anyone know which of the two Singapore ports, the Insignia will dock at?

We are staying in the Best Western Au Trocadero, which is located in the 16th district, is a small hotel that is a five minute walk to the Eiffel Tower, and very close to where the Viking ship docks.

My husband puts an AirTag in our car that we leave parked near the port, just in case.

Thank you.

Is there a Pickleball court, or is it still a paddleball court? Do they have any Pickleball equipment?
-
We will be staying at the Yotel airside hotel at the airport, since we have a 4:00 am flight. Does anyone have any information about the hotel, and transportation from the port to the airport?

We have found that the larger ships offer more activities. However, this summer on the Sirena we had baggo bingo, putt putt golf and ping pong. Movies were offer a couple of times in the evening because there was no show. The movies were some of those available on TV and were very old. We had several canceled ports and no new activities were planned. This is not good customer service. We love Oceania, but they do owe their passengers more than the same thing every single day with no variety.

For example?
Line dancing, team competition other than trivia, karaoke, name that tune, there are many options. However, Oceania doesn’t seem to try any of them. We have been on 11 Oceania cruises. We enjoy the people, the food and the itineraries. The lack of entertainment on sea days or the days when ports have been canceled just seems lazy.

Yes, our last cruise was another 14-night Caribbean one on Riviera, which disembarked in Miami on March 11, 2020. On March 12 I attended my first Zoom meeting!
We hope we get a chance to meet you this January.

I certainly will look for the pickleball court when I board Riviera in January 2022. As several have pointed out, you will be able to play while in port but it is often pretty breezy upstairs outside when underway.
We will be on the Jan 14 cruise. Are you also on this cruise?
-
Are there any Pickleball players presently on the Riveria? If so, could you please take some pictures of the Paddleball court and give me your opinion on if I could play Pickleball on the court.

Does anyone know if the courts on the R ships can be used to play Pickleball?

The best part is that these folks will be readily identifiable. And will most likely be treated as unwelcome by the other passengers. Not a pleasant vacation experience IMO.
If I were unvaccinated I'd definitely think twice about booking a cruise.
Especially if masking is required even on the Lido deck.
I can not believe this attitude. People have the right to make their own decisions! I hope no one would be so classless as to mistreat those who are continuing to wear masks. Some vaccinated people have continued to wear them. However, no one has the right to treat anyone disrespectfully.

We just did our check in for July 3rd!

They have effectively ended cruising in the US. This is just ridiculous.

I don’t believe this precludes you from providing the cruise line the documentation you received certifying that you have been vaccinated.

Under President Trump, I seem to remember VP Pence meeting with cruise line executives to try and get cruising going in the United States. The CDC isn’t going to do anything that will hinder President Biden’s very cautious and overly safe approach to opening anything, except maybe 4th of July activities with limited family involvement. So, I don’t expect the Biden administration or the CDC to do anything.

They should be excluded from any cruise line in the future.
They might chose to exclude those who wish to impose their beliefs and judgments on others. Just saying!

What does this do to the world cruise? We are on the June 11 cruise and we have heard nothing about a cancellation.

Oceania wants to update you on the status of our scheduled cruises to Asia this year. Out of an abundance of caution and as a result of the uncertainty surrounding port entry and berthing availability in various destinations in Asia, Oceania Cruises has made the prudent decision to cancel all voyages in Asia through June 2020. Our commitment to the safety and well-being of our guests and crew is uncompromising and always our number one priority. Accordingly, the following sailings have been cancelled:
- Nautica March 4, 2020 roundtrip Singapore
- Nautica March 18, 2020 Singapore to Tokyo
- Nautica April 3, 2020 roundtrip Tokyo
- Insignia April 9, 2020 Cape Town to Singapore
- Nautica April 13, 2020 Tokyo to Singapore
- Nautica May 1, 2020 Singapore to Dubai
- Insignia May 9, 2020 roundtrip Singapore
- Insignia May 24, 2020 Singapore to Tokyo
- Insignia June 11, 2020 Tokyo to San Francisco
The Nautica May 19, 2020 voyage from Dubai to Rome will operate as planned.
All guests on cancelled sailings will receive a 100% refund of the cruise fare paid along with a Future Cruise Credit, valid for any 2020 sailing, equal to 25% of the cruise fare paid to recognize their patience and understanding with this evolving situation. The Future Cruise Credit must be utilized for a 2020 voyage

Where did this come from? It is not on Oceania’s web site.

I think it’s time we think about doing the following to hopefully get Oceania to respond to this problem: complain on the survey, and your travel agent, and to an Oceania representative at the main office. I believe if enough people make the effort, it could result in Oceania resolving the problem. Jan can you help?
