Newspapers on Riviera

[retafcruiser]

Are printed copies of certain newspapers still available for purchase on the Riviera? You used to be able to get a "subscription" for a fee.

I believe it's the Times and USA Today....if your booked in the Concierge level the Concierge Lounge has them free

Oceania has free internet which is where I get my news.

Top suites have an option for delivery of two papers.  When we've been there, we've opted for the NY Times and the Wall St. Journal.  When in lower levels, we are satisfied with the brief 4 page or so Oceania summation.  And with internet, yet, you can at least see headlines even if you don't have the time to really read an article.

 

If you are in Concierge (on the "O" ships) then you can read the papers for free in the lounge.

 

I'm not positive if you can purchase the papers on board but i THINK you still can. If you are below concierge level, I suspect that the cost of the papers if purchased would be far less than the higher cabin price for a concierge cabin  ...

Unless some selfish and entitled people have decided that these copies are their own personal copies and removed them from the lounge to their cabin - this unfortunately happens a lot (especially USA Today). British papers seems of less interest and are left in the lounge.

It is $6.50 per day, per paper, to have it delivered to your room, presuming you are not in a top suite.

When we board I go to the reception desk and fill out a form and order the NY TIMES and it is sent to my stateroom every morning except Sunday.The cost was $6.75 per day. Your name and stateroom is printed on each page so know one can mistake you took it from the lounge.

Do they charge for days that the paper is not printed?
