JHLH821 Posted November 20, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 20, 2022 We prefer to arrange our own hotel accommodations but wish to know if Oceania offers the option for non-hotel package guests to arrange/purchase space on a shuttle to the ship on embarkation day.

Thank you, Leta pretty sure that transfers are now included for folks that use O air but don’t purchase the hotel piece. But that’s probably only good on day of embark/disembark and only between airport and cruiseport. Call O for correct info (or ask your TA to get the info. Even if you could purchase the hotel-cruise terminal transport from O, remember that all their travel related charges are “per person.” Why not prebook the transfer with the concierge at your embarkation city hotel. I’m betting it would be less expensive than O’s charges. Or- just arrange your own (check mozio.com for average airport et al. travel transfer cost). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LHT28 Posted November 20, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 20, 2022 If you are not staying a hotel that Oceania uses then NO transfers just get a taxi or private car hire depending on the port city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of DaNile Posted November 20, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 20, 2022 FWIW Oceania's transfers are ridiculously overpriced. Do it on your own for probably less than 1/2 the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted November 21, 2022 #7 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Yep. We always find our own transportation from ship to hotel (or ship to port). We generally need to do so anyway since most of the time we are arriving early and leaving late. But there have been a few times when, for example, we debarked at Southampton a few years ago and needed to go into London. I pre-ordered a car service for 6 of us. Far cheaper than O's bus transport. The one exception to this was on our last Renaissance cruise in early 2000: we landed in Athens and happened to be on a flight that had many Ren passengers on it. There was a transport waiting for them to go to the three hotels Ren was using. So we just got on and no one asked to see a "ticket". Won't ever happen again, I am sure.

At a minimum, it gives you a “ball park” idea. Since you do your own air, I assume you use ITA Matrix in your comparative air tix research.

Correct, I refer to ITA Matrix and have identified a flight schedule we will most likely take- just waiting for the calendar to open.
