Thank you for all your responses. I missed the previous postings about the change in category. 

Does anyone know if the extended balcony cabins on Riveria, B3 category, have been recategorized? The deck schematics still show them as B3 but when I went to make a reservation, they told me they are no longer B3, but now are A2. I looked at the schematics from Oceania's website this morning. Still all listed as B3. I'm confused! Thanks in advance.

Thanks!

We are cruising in April and I wanted to buy the Internet package ahead of time. Where can I do that?

Thanks!

Leslie

Thank you all for your replies! I really appreciate it.

Hi,

We are new to traveling on Oceania and wanted to ask if a cabin in between the elevators would be noisy. Specifically I'm looking at cabin 8052 on the Marina.  I also have the option of cabin 8044 and that's next to the stairs. Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

We were previously in cabin 7192 on Koningsdam and had no creaking noises at all. The next time on Koningsdam we were in cabin 7195, just a couple of cabins away and we had a TON of creaking noises. It was very annoying. Glad I brought my ear plugs since they were definitely needed.

You might want to check your flights again. Our flight on Alaska Air fro FLL was changed from 11:50 to 10:00 but now it's at 11:10. Closer to the original time. I'm just saying they can make you crazy with their time changes!

The Regatta has very small bathrooms and there is not much of a theater. Other than that, wonderful ship. Great food and very attentive staff.

I was just on the Koningsdam and smoking was allowed in the casino except for 2 non-smoking nights.

Thanks for your reply. Just what I wanted to hear!

Does anyone know how long Captain Dimitrios Kafetzis will be on the Silhouette? We're sailing in Aug this year and would to have him as our captain again.

Thanks.

I am with warmwinds on this one. We have 2 upcoming cruises on Celebrity in Aqua Class and the bottled water, while not important to some, is important to us. We don't get the beverage package and don't like the sodium content in the water on the ship. When I booked both of these cruises, over a year ago, bottled water was one of my benefits. Now it's not. It doesn't feel good to have something taken away that you enjoy and not even be told about it unless you happened to check their web site to see if any Aqua Class benefits had changed.

Mike,

Your reviews are always full of great details and beautiful pictures! Sounds like you and Carol enjoyed your first TA, otherwise you wouldn't have booked another one. I love TAs because you're very busy in the beginning of the trip but then you get to RELAX for so many days before getting home. We'll be doing another one next October and can't wait.

Thanks again for sharing.

Leslie

Linda,

That was an AWESOME review! So happy you had a wonderful trip. Your enthusiasm comes shining through. I can tell you're re-living each moment again as you write it.

Trips don't get better than that one!

Thanks again for sharing.

I just wanted you to know Mary Lou that CSA does provide insurance for pre-existing conditions as long as you get the insurance within 24 hours of making final payment. It's their Custom Luxe policy, which costs a bit more than their regular policy. Maybe this will help you!

Add me to the list who have brought Almond milk onboard with no problem. I buy the shelf one and keep it in the fridge once it's opened. I use it for my protein drink and make it with my shaker bottle. No issues!

Leslie

I too admire your positive attitude. I hope you're able to postpone the chemo until after the trip, since traveling has been a passion for you and your husband. Good thoughts and prayers coming your way.

Leslie

Have a wonderful cruise Trainman. Carol is certainly with you in spirit. Are you sure you can't adjust your walker? A lot of them adjust at the wheels to go higher for you taller folks. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
