Brollys??

[swabs]

Looking at next weeks weather forecast it looks like we may need an Umbrella when on our Riviera Mediterranean cruise :(

 

Do Oceania have umbrellas at the gangway / in your cabin that you can use and take ashore?

 

I am sure they were available on the cruises we have done with Regent.

 

Fingers crossed we wont need one but it if they are available it means its one less item to pack!

Both

They are large golf size brolly's

 

I prefer a rain jacket with a hood ... less chance of being carried away like Mary poppins;)

A Brit worrying about rain :D. I thought you all were born with a "brolly" as a part of your body :D

Seriously though, we always travel with small travel umbrellas that are convenient to pack and don't take up too much space. They may not keep you as dry as the larger ones but are much more convenient and sufficient if the rest of the clothing is appropriate for rain.

The umbrellas (golf size) are kept in your cabin closet. If it is windy, don't take. I just took a waterproof jacket with a hood with me. Kept me nice and dry and when the rain quit, it could take it off and put it in my bag.

Always take a pocket sized folding umbrella and you can't go wrong.

Thanks all for your replies[emoji3]

As you say "a Brit worried about a bit of rain"?? And a Brit who lives "up north" as well!!

It's just that it's nearly June one shouldn't really need a raincoat in the Med in summer!! [emoji299]️[emoji3]

We will be on the Riviera next week and the weather forecasts we have been looking at seem to indicate good weather.

[swabs]

I will follow your forecasts in that case!

Just need to get work out of today and we will be off ![emoji3]

Take a brolly as "insurance" then there is a very good chance that it won't rain!!!!! J

[O'Mally]

they were provided last time I was with them. But, just in case ...

Caught in a windy rainstorm in Barcelona last November, a hotel brolly died shockingly in the first gust. O's brollys are somewhat larger but not certain they are much more robust. I too suggest a good rain jacket as the more practical solution.

Just got off Riviera on Sunday and we never needed any umbrellas. The weather was fabulous the entire time from Istanbul to Barcelona. However, I always bring a small umbrella which easily fits in the bottom of my purse just in case.

 

Actually I am posting to brag about the fold-up Oceania umbrella I managed to snag as a reward for our trivia prowess onboard!:D

 

And happily all trivia was played in Martinis and there was not the intense cutthroat competition that I abhored on previous cruises. We enjoyed a very pleasant atmosphere so played more often this trip.
