crowpro Posted December 14, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Does Oceania still send out the Cruise Booklet about six weeks before your cruise date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mauibabes Posted December 14, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Not 6 as we are about 4 weeks now and I check my mailbox with bated breath daily for my Blue Book of Heaven 🤪🙏. Since Covid their processes have changed and they lost suppliers and service providers. I believe the documents are shipped from New Jersey now, no longer Miami. If you are using a TA, Oceania can be directed to send the Docs to the Travel Agency or directly to the Guest, just not to PO Boxes. If Booked directly with Oceania, the Docs would be sent to the Guest. At least that is my understanding today. Mauibabes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our cruise departs on December 18th, and we received our cruise booklet about 3 weeks ago direct from Oceania although we booked through a travel agent.

Twiga Posted December 15, 2022 #4 Share Posted December 15, 2022 On December 12th I received a very nice package of "Official Documents" for my January 11, 2023 cruise on the Sirena. It is a much nicer package than the old "blue book." It contains two booklets. One is "General Travel & Onboard Information." The other is "Shore Excursions." I like having the shore excursions in a separate booklet. The folder has nice luggage tags. Last February 2022 we did not receive any pre-cruise package for our Marina cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shepherd really Posted December 17, 2022 #8 Share Posted December 17, 2022 My "increasingly misnamed" blue book arrived two weeks ago for a Jan 11th embarkation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LHT28 Posted December 17, 2022 #10 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Why don't people just call them the "Document booklets" less confusion for that that are colour blind 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiga Posted December 17, 2022 #11 Share Posted December 17, 2022 This is the cruise package I received last week. Inside were two booklets, one with cruise information and the other with excursions. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted December 18, 2022 #12 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Apparently they are using a different graphic for each cruise. Just in case you didn't get the memo, they all used to be Blue. 😆 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted December 18, 2022 #13 Share Posted December 18, 2022 So now let's just call them " Cruise Vacation Guide package " Then everyone will know what people are talking about 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safe travels and if you see a guy that looks like a younger George Clooney, it isn't me 😁. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdl60 Posted December 31, 2022 #17 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I just recevied my cruise documents yesterday for our cruise on Sirena which departs on January 11. I last spoke to my travel agent (who is located in Miami) on D.ecember 22, 2022. Oceania told him that our documents were mailed to us in November. I thought they had been lost in the mail. Fed Ex delivered them to my door. Better late than never.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honumaui Posted January 2, 2023 #21 Share Posted January 2, 2023 We are also on the Sirena Jan.11.Got the two booklets and luggage tags but no documents. Instead we were E mailed by Oceania ( and our TA). We got instructions to print out our boarding passes ( had to e mail them pictures) ourselves. It was a bit of a nuisance but we got them done. They included our arrival time. This will be our first cruise since covid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
