I suspect if booked through travel agent you will not be able to view. Anyway I looked at my online booking and there is no “ view credits option. Stock is at a one year low so you can get 100 shares for about $1300.00. Even If it goes down 20% you would be about even with $250 onboard credit. I made a lot of money buying carnival stock but I would be surprised if rcl does that in the short term. Got in at about $13.20. Something to watch, anyway

I had read something I thought was from oceana but was from an online travel agency. It appears you are right. No military discount.

How does this work? Already booked cruise. Is it too late to get it?

How do you view the credit?

Most places dont stamp it. You have to beg them

How easy will it be to get a shared table at 6:30 pm?

Princess does. This means cost of the tour can go up as it gets closer to sailing and there is strong demand. Can be a problem for those waiting to book on board.

I booked the five free excursions and paid for a sixth. I would like to exchange a free one for a different one in the same port. Signed on to my booked cruise and can not figure out how to do this. No way to cancel. Cant add as i get a conflict message. cruise is not until oct 1, 2022

True

What does not gone hungry have to do with the quality of the good. Just curious. I could eat a bowl of oatmeal and not go hungry

I booked Oceana for Sept. have 21 cruises on Princess. Not encouraging to hear about the current dining situation. We had always had fixed dining. Not sure I would book Princess anymore. Of course Oceana is much more expensive.

I prefer California wines. Not much in UK wine shops. I have checked. Also I have about 200 bottles of high end California wine . I do prefer French Champagne.

A few years ago I brought magnums on a Princess cruise when we had a large group of people. This was when you could carry on wine on an airplane. Have a wine carrier that can be checked as luggage. Did that once and they lost it but found it before we left. Princess did not charge a higher corkage fee for the magnums but I think they do now. so my theory is if you charge more for magnums then maybe half bottles would be less but not likely today. Also if I bring wine from the US to the UK the duties probably make it not worth it .maybe no duties on a couple bottles. i shy away from ordering glasses of wine-because there is no way to know how long the bottles have bern open. I sent several back on Celebrity and they were fine opening a new bottle.Would never buy the drinks package for this reason plus we normally might have only one mixed drink a day.

Wine oxidizes. At home I use a nitrogen spray, PrivateReserve, which keeps wine fresh for up to a week. If I buy a bottle and they save it until the next day it wont taste as good. White wine lasts longer. As we get older , we are drinking less wine. I recently bough several half bottles of Grgich Hills and StagsLeap, about $25 for half bottles. my thought was I could pack a few half bottles in my luggage and they would take up less space in checked luggage from San Francisco.may or may not do this. appreciate all the comments.

No. Not talking about saving a full bottle overnight. A half bottle is a smaller size bottle. About half the size if 750 mil.Since half the size some restaurants in the US charge half the normal corkage fee.

My oct 1 cruise for 17 days on Serena still shows virtually no rooms two weeks after final pay.

Do you know if they will charge the $25 corkage fee on half bottles?

Thank you! I did not realize there were tours on the 16th. I booked an 8 hour tour to cognac and will re board the ship as you mentioned.

We have a day here on an Oceana cruise. Can someone suggest a tour company or what we should see here?

Curious why this is. The prior day we overnight in Bordeaux. Leave Bordeaux around 10 am and it takes 7 hours to get to LeVerdon? Maybe the ship sight sees on the way? the town is a couple miles from the port. No taxis or buses . Is it worth getting off the ship? I thought about dinner there but msybe not. There must be a reason for this stop? Maybe provisions? thanks
