Thanks, Orv, don't know what I was putting in, but this time I actually found one whose site included the Oceania Connoisseur agency listing.

sailco Posted December 18, 2019 #29 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) I'd like to add my first timer Oceania questions to this thread too please. It might also be helpful to the OP and others following the topic. * I'm curious about the bathroom amenities. Is there real soap or that awful stuff in a pump fixed to the wall that some of the cruise lines have now? Ditto for the shampoo and condition being mixed in a single dispenser. Urrrrgh * Can we take a glass of wine back to our room? And alternately, if we pour a glass of our own wine in our room can we carry it around the ship?

Urrrrgh Yes & yes - real soap, shampoo and conditioner last time I was on * Can we take a glass of wine back to our room? And alternately, if we pour a glass of our own wine in our room can we carry it around the ship? Yes (I think?) & no - wine brought onboard must be consumed in the cabin or if taken to dining venue corkage fee applies Hope that helps.

Sounds reasonable, unless you're cruise line favourites. I'd expect you have preferential treatment after so many cruises. 😎 Edited December 18, 2019 by sailco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're on the Marina now and we have all the bath amenities you desire. @ORV is the brand of amenities based on the level of your cabin? And that Bulgari bath soap is incredible IMO and I've never had that reaction to a dang bar of soap. Re wine, yes, you can definitely bring it back to your cabin and, has stated if it's any beverage you brought onboard it's too be drunk in your cabin.

The white is usually in the verandas on down. Not sure about the Concierge & PH but the upper suites get whichever one they want. Usually they give a gift box of them also in larger sizes. I haven't been in a suite in a while. Do they still do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay23 Posted December 19, 2019 #40 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Please do not take a glass of your own wine out of your stateroom to drink anywhere around the ship You can of course take a bottle of your own wine to the restaurant where you will pay $25 corkage. If you do not finish that bottle it will be kept for you till next time If you eat in a different restaurant, your bottle will be brought to your table wherever you are.

swigso Posted December 22, 2019 #43 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Ask your room steward to empty the mini fridge in your cabin then when you pass a bar pick up a beer request that it is not opened and then take to your room and put in the fridge. You will soon have enough beer to drink on the balcony you can also stock up with soda. Afraid you will need to go to a bar for a wine though. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the mini fridge was only filled with included beverages. Or did you have a beverage package? just trying to understand. Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best plan is to purchase beer on shore and put it in the mini fridge as clo suggested 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted December 22, 2019 #47 Share Posted December 22, 2019 The top suites DO have beer in the mini-fridge. Only one or two bottles, but they are replaced when needed ... obviously, most people are NOT in top suites ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
