Where did it say about port departure times? 1800, guess it’s no luau for us.

Has anyone stayed in this cabin and can telll us about noise from aquivit terrace and pool above?

Thank you all very much. Yes, our cruise is for 2022.Sydney to Papette.

We are booked on aOceania cruise to South Pacific on the Regatta. Looking at excursion prices leaves us in Shock! Is this how cruise lines are recouping their losses from 2020? From Australia to Bora Bora all the ship excursions are astronomical. Any one else seeing this on their future cruise or is it just Oceania? 

We sailed on theRegatta and my comment on the bathroom was “I had to step out of the bathroom to change my mind”. 

Can luggage be stored under the beds after the next upgrades?

We agree with many posters above,to see the wildlife one must do a safari trip somewhere. Off topic we did an AMA “cruise” which went to Cape Town, Zambezi Queen o the Chobe river(4 nights) saw tons of animals, Johannsberg, and then 4 nights at Tinswalo lodge included great 8 game drives. Our favorite trip by far. PS , avoid Johansburg diamond district!! My first house cost less than that ROCK! 

We cancelled our Sept 7,2020 cruise onMay 8thand received our full refund yesterday!!

Yes, AF-1 is correct. Also, we had a Suite last year and we able to eat breakfast in The Crown Grill for “ made to order, quite meals.so if that is still available it is a great option.

If you are in a suite you get Club Orange perks included. Look it up on HAL’s site.

BabySis, The AMA site refers to an extension we did not take. Check out their site to see all the options. The weight restrictions were for the fact that it’s a small plane so you can only take like 35 pounds of luggage. Planning is half the fun I always say.

Vino100, yes we did Victoria Falls. While there beside the river walk ,we did the helicopter tour and it is fantastic! Great photos. Saw the leopards while at Tinswalo Lodge along with cheetahs, warthogs,rhinos, lions tons of elephants and giraffes. We did not do the side trip you mentioned due to the weight restrictions, probably should have done it.We have a Son in Kentwood’mi and we live near AnnArbor. Happy Trails, We loved AMA and the entire African experience.

We did this trip with AMA and loved it. On the Zambezi Queen you take smaller boats on the river to spot the animals. The actual “cruising on the Chobe is from anchor point to anchor point,there are only two. One day we all took the land Safari and saw many animals. The hotels we stayed at were the Best we’ve ever been in, fabulous trip.

I apologise for being the OP of this thread. Never fails to instigate a conflagration on CC. See you on the flip flop. Happy Cruising.

Ha, we will try to leave our cabin,4121, neat for you as we get off as you are boarding.We are thinking to try the 13 hour excursion out of Buenos Aires. Have a great cruise.

Thanks. Wonder if I can take my coffee press?

Can anyone tell us if there is a coffee maker on Riveria suites?

Great news on the refurb. Thanks for the update. FYI, my TA said it was scheduled for September. Hoping it happens as we are  on the 40 Day Cruise Sydney to Vancouver in April,2020.

So, is the refurb happening and when?

Thank you all for the great tips on our future visit to Iguazú Falls. We have been looking for private tours and hopefully will find a good one  b4 we head South.

We are going to be on the Viking Jupiter next January 2020. Viking offers two excursions to Iguazú Falls and wonderif anyone knows the approximate cost of the 13 hour vs the 48 hour excursions. What opinions would you all think of the Iguazú Falls visit?

Aloha CropTop, We are on the cruise now. Presently in Ensenada chillin on our balcony.Embarcation was a breeze in LA, boarded aroun 130 and accessed our cabin right away. As many others have stated ,the first couple days are rougher seas than closer to Hawaii. Our favorite excursion was HawaiianBotanical Garden in Hilo. The “club class”” dining was wonderful as we are in Suite A750 Aft.Sure is a relaxing and quiet ship which is fine with us. Have a wonderful cruise,any questions fire away. BitburgBoy
