marieps Posted June 14, 2021 #8 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) You have plenty of time for flights and lodging, but do pay close attention to your specialty restaurant deadline. Wave to me on Feb 7. I get on when you disembark. Enjoy! Edited June 14, 2021 by marieps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit confused. It says: Concierge Level Veranda, Veranda, Ocean View and Inside Stateroom All cruises: 1 reservations at each restaurant But also: All other categories Cruises 17 days or less: 1 reservations at each restaurant Cruises 18 days or more: 2 reservations at each restaurant So on 18 days cruise - is it 1 or 2 at each restaurant? Also, we don't like one of the restaurants, can we replace it with another one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wave to me on Feb 7. I get on when you disembark. Enjoy! I personally wouldn't wait. I like locking my flights and hotels in asap. There is a huge demand on hotel rooms right now. People are getting out and traveling. Where I live we're set to have a record year. I'd be willing to bet the same for most other tourists areas. I usually only do hotels that I don't have to prepay, with a few exceptions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot replace a restaurant choice prior to boarding, the system will not allow it. However, you can easily do that once onboard.

I think that's right. There are another set of rules for the O ships. I went to the link and looked and it appears that AK has cut the bottom part for the O Ships and another part from the R ships. Here is the whole thing, which has two separate policies. Guests are permitted to make the following reservations in our specialty restaurants - which vary by ship, category and length of cruise: Marina and Riviera Owner’s Suite, Vista Suite and Oceania Suite Cruises 7 days or less: 1 reservation at each restaurant Cruises 8-17 days: 2 reservations at each restaurant Cruises 18 days or more: 3 reservations at each restaurant Penthouse Suite Cruises 17 days or less: 1 reservations at each restaurant Cruises 18 days or more: 2 reservations at each restaurant Concierge Level Veranda, Veranda, Ocean View and Inside Stateroom All cruises: 1 reservations at each restaurant ___________________________________________________________________________Insignia, Nautica, Regatta and Sirena Concierge Level Veranda and above Cruises 7 days or less: 1 reservation at each restaurant Cruises 8-17 days: 2 reservations at each restaurant Cruises 18 days or more: 3 reservations at each restaurant All other categories Cruises 17 days or less: 1 reservations at each restaurant Cruises 18 days or more: 2 reservations at each restaurant Edited June 14, 2021 by ORV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The great thing about Oceania is - you’ll get a GREAT dining experience every night whether you eat in a specialty restaurant or in the GDR.

Rare Laszlo Posted June 14, 2021 Author #23 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) I'm trying wrap my head around what to wear to dinner. I've watched a view videos and never saw any men in a jacket or sports coat. In fact the person doing the tour said no jackets or sport coats are needed. Per Oceania web site it looks like jackets are requested? Some people say no jackets require some say they are. I'm planning on wearing dockers or khaki for pants and either a polo or button dress shirt and dress ish shoes. I'm not planning on taking a jacket, not on a southern caribbean cruise.

Jackets are not required, but some men chose to wear them occasionally in the specialty restaurants. What you describe would be the norm, even for a non-Caribbean cruise.
