Anyone know if O provides a shuttle in Limassol. Cyprus and Bozcaada,,Turkey?  Thank you!

I have a question about the Shareholder Benefits.  What does it mean when the website says that the shareholder benefits cannot be combined with any other offer?  What offers are they talking about?  Is it Olife or Oceania Club benefits? 

Thank you for your help.

Thank you!!   Great information from both of you.  Ruth---we live in Woodbridge, VA, just down 95 from you.  Loved your photos.   We are sailing on the Riviera in April.  It has been so long since we have travelled, I am feeling a little rusty trying to make travel plans.  With all the new rules and regulations, it is even more difficult.  Thank you also, for all the information you sent to me via FB.  

Thank you also, Edin, for the bus information.  That is really helpful.

I appreciate the information that both of you have shared.

Any suggestions as what to do in this port?   Is the town close enough to walk to?

Thank you GG.  I appreciate your help.

How close to sailing do e-docs arrive?

Thank you, Sparky. I appreciate your help.  What is the workspaces rate?  Our flight, to Dulles, doesn't leave until 10:30 at night.  We are also on an NCL cruise.  We will contact the Hilton you mentioned.  We tried the Holiday Inn at the airport, but they don't have day rates.  Thanks again!!

I am looking for recommendation of hotels that have "day rooms".  A hotel, at or close to the airport,  that we could stay between the hours of 9:00 am to 9:00 pm-ish.   

Thank you for your help!!

We just booked a Barcelona to Barcelona cruise for April 2022 yesterday Our TA, confirmed with O, that they will take care of the testing requirements for all passengers for their return flights.  

We did the Delhi to Mumbai land tour as a post cruise four years ago.  We have done several O pre and post land tours.  All have been exceptional.  We stayed at the Courtyard/ Marriott at the Taj Mahal and in Delhi.  The hotels were very nice.  We did not have any worries about the cleanliness of the food or the hotels.  All tours were excellent.  You will have the opportunity to visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise and sunset.  India is a challenge.  You will have peace of mind since everything is taken care of.  

We have done two Christmas Market cruises.  Both on AMA.  One on the Rhine, Basel to Amsterdam. There other on the Danube, Vienna to Germany ( I can't remember the city).  Both cruises were great, but I preferred the Rhine.  Maybe because it was my first one and everything was new.  

I prefer Viking.  I think their food is better, but i liked AMA's itinerary better.  Be prepared to buy an extra suitcase to bring all of your treasures home.  

We stayed in 8002 on Insignia.  This cabin is right next to a door that some of the crew use.  I found it to be noisy early in the morning, when people were opening and closing the door and talking in the hallway as they met other crew members using the door.

I have a problem with motion sickness and found it worse with the location of this cabin.  

Thanks Redtravel.  I am hoping by the time we sail (Aug '21), we will be able to change cabins.  We are on the Waitlist, with fingers crossed.  All levels of the category we like are waitlisted now.  When I booked I had a choice of four adjoinings or one obstructed view.  We had an adjoining cabin on a Princess cruise once, and I swore never again.  The steward tried to block the noise through the door, but it didn't work at all.  

Thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks for your thoughts.  

Thank you for your replies.  The adjoining cabin was the only one left in the category we wanted.  I am on the waitlist to change to another cabin.  Hopefully, one will become available, if we actually sail in August '21.

We experienced an adjoining cabin once, and don't want to do it again.

Has anyone stayed in an adjoining cabin on Sirena?  We took the last cabin (8022), but asked to be waitlisted.  All other categories we ae interested in are waitlisted.  We had a bad experience in an adjoining cabin on a Princess ship. We could clearly hear the occupants' conversations and what they were watching on TV.     I would like to know how much noise comes  through the door.  

Thank you!!

Our Copenhagen to London cruise for August 2020 had all categories, but one, available yesterday.  Today, they are all waitlisted.  I am hoping this means the cruise is about to be cancelled and we will be able to receive a refund instead of FCC's.  Waiting for word from our TA.

Our August 22, 2020 cruise's final payment was due yesterday. Not a Grand Voyage.  It's a 22-day cruise.  We asked our TA to contact O and ask if it would be possible to push back the date.  We were hoping for maybe a month.  Their answer was a plain and simple NO.   Not sure if a month will make any difference right now.   We decided not tie up a large amount of money  at this uncertain time, so we cancelled.   If things get better, we might reschedule.

Currently Oceania suspending all their operations. I’d like to ask if someone with a final payment coming soon for the grand voyages late summer or fall departures have their final payment date delayed. We’re not looking to canceling our September cruise but would love to have a little bit more time to decide.

Thanks everyone for your input.  I appreciate your thoughts and recommendations.  

Has anyone tried these?  If you did, I would like to know how it worked and if you think it is worth the price.  I currently use the patch along with the cloth wristbands, and add Bonine or Dramamine when needed.

Thanks!!

I am looking for suggestions on cruises in the Galapagos Islands.  We are not interested in land trips to Machu Picchu.  I am not sure where to start in my research.  Should I look at the bigger cruise lines, or try to find smaller companies.  Any suggestions on where to look for smaller cruises?

Thank you for your help.

Hi.  I am a brand newbie on Disney with a few questions.  On Pirate Night, do people dress as pirates?  Should I buy some pirate dress ups for my grandkids? I am assuming that the dress code is very casual.  What do adults wear to the dining room during dinner seatings.

Thank you for your help.

Has anyone done this excursion from the port of Flam, Norway?  Oceania is offering it, but without a lot of explanation.  I would appreciate any thoughts about this tour.

Thanks!!

Thank you, everyone, for your responses.  No one really answered my question though.  I really don't feel like I have to explain myself, but I will anyway. We consider excursions to be part of the total  cruise price.    I like to keep my OBC's because it feels like "free" money.  That way, I can go to the salon and spa, play bingo, etc., and not feel like I am wasting "real" money.  Simple as that!  Excursions=real money.  Bingo=free money.  

When I booked excursions online for our last cruise, they were automatically (or at least I think they were) deducted from our OBCs.  I like to save our credits for onboard.

Did I miss something?  How do I book excursions online and pay for them with a credit cards now that we can use OBCs?

Thank you for helping this techno dummy!

Thank you!!
