I have always done it by message to Oceania once trip payment is complete.  Feather allergy for spouse, diet non cola soft drinks, and C-PAP distilled water. 

 

May I ask what number you use for messaging? Is it just their regular guest services phone number? I would rather message our requests instead of calling, even though their agents are usually very quick to answer. Also, does anyone know an email address for guest services? Thanks for any info.

I always request that the Captain, CD, General Manager and Oceania Ambassador meet me at the dock with a litter to transport me inside. In tropical areas I request that they have 4 people from the entertainment team fan me with palm fronds. Oddly enough my requests haven't been honored yet. I keep trying.

We use the cruise line's "Special Needs" forms for this.

We also have a serious allergy situation, so we need to use this form anyway.  Then we add in any other special requests.  We feel better that it all arrives in written form.

Thank you. We don't have any special needs, so I would feel strange just asking for something for the room. That works out well for you, though.🙂

Where do you even find a “special needs” firm on their web site?

I don't know if the various cruise lines "post" their special needs forms, or one needs to inquire.

 

Each cruiseline has a special needs department, under some title or another, such as:

Once we have forms filled out for a cruise line, we often just submit the same form over and over, with any updates noted.  (There often are no updates; the form is often a reminder, especially about the allergy/medical situation.)

If you use a TA just ask them to put your requests on file

I apologize if this has been asked and answered. . . What time are the shows. . . Trying to set my dining times.  We generally prefer cocktails, the early show followed by later dining and then, for me, the casino! Appreciate any insights.
