Love the penthouse and would not reserve anything smaller.  We do make use of the butler a great deal.  We generally have breakfast in our room and do have room service from specialties a few times on each cruise.  The table may be small; but the butler can serve you course by course.  It still beats getting showered and dressed up after a long day of sightseeing.

WE have also felt that the cultural exchange with our butlers has been a highlight of our cruises.

And, there is no better authority on where to find things and what is happening on the ship than the butler.  If he doesn't know, he will find out.

Good suggestions. We’ll be 1st time Oceania passengers (Nautica) and we were debating about what cabin to book. Because our trip is over a month long, we opted for the PH — just for the space. But, as we’re paying for one, we’ll be sure to use the services of a butler.

Thanks for posting.  Your post prompted me to check if there was a similar offer for my Amex Aeroplan Reserve card and there was.  For my card offer it requires a spend of at least $2,000 with Oceania by July 22, 2024 to earn a $400.00 credit.  The final payment for my upcoming cruise is due July 14, 2024 so this works nicely.

Yes — same here - got the same offer for both Platinum and Reserve Amex card.  Pretty sweet deal. 

I also found that nowhere did it tell me the cost of the visa. On the website I found the cost of shipping; US$25 for Canada Post and US$35 for Fedex, but nowhere did it tell me what I would be paying for the visa. Ultimately, the cost was US$149.35, which I am assuming included the shipping charge.

We just finished this process. I was expecting a charge of around $100 for two multi entry visas. I was shocked when I saw the charge of $350 CAD. At first I thought it was a mistake, so I called the embassy and was told this was accurate.
