Just curious why would you want to drive all day in iffy weather in winter? I would allow a few days driving in Jan if you insist on driving to NYC Check the East Cost departures forum for suggestions on staying the night before https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/317-east-coast-departures/ Good luck

very busy place for Breakfast & Lunch Mike Preisman has some photos https://www.thepreismans.com/vista23_2.htm

On VISTA Aquamar is not open for dinner so I suspect it will be the same on Marina They also took over the seating area outside the La Reserve location as part of Aquamar

Any cruise booked after July 1st 2023 has the new SM drink package & Excursion credit If you booked a cruise prior to that date you have the option of staying with your choice at the time of booking or changing to SM

Lots of things go on behind the scenes that pax are unaware of

Leave enough time in case of snow storms especially in NYS Consider taking the train https://reservia.viarail.ca/en/booking/create/trip/1?type=oneWay&ADT=2&travels=ALDR_NEWY_2024-01-22 https://www.amtrak.com/tickets/schedule-results.html Take the GO to Union Station then fly Porter to EWR

what cover charge ??

What date are you flying & to what airport ? I see in May there are nonstops from AMS to ATL at 12:30 arr about 4 pm Than should be doable

Maybe they are not longer doing it as no one reads the paper on the bed at night on HOW /WHERE to do it online while still onboard Some do not want to waste their time onboard to do the survey It took me about 10-15mins to do mine then DH did his

It is not so much the cabin other than those over/under the Theater or under the gym but those pax occupying the adjacent cabins On one sailing we had neighbours that liked to stay up late ..no problem it is their holiday also The problem was they would come back to the cabin at 1 or 2 am & proceed to bang the drawers & the closet doors turn on the TV & talk very loudly to each other Some people it is all about them with no consideration to others

One year we had a complaint about dining in Polo When we returned I mentioned it to my TA She said to send her the information & she would forward it to Oceania By noon that day I had a phone call from someone in charge at Oceania YMMV

You have to do it while onboard There was info in the CURRENTS a few days before the end of the cruise on our cruise in Oct on how to access the survey while on the ship

I just clicked on "sign in as Guest" & you can go as far as Make a payment But for solo's I think you need to call to get the best price I looked at one cruise with Solo pricing but it came out the same as for double Occupancy

Did you ask the waitstaff to have someone come to get you a drink? Sometimes for whatever reason tables are missed for service I can live without the bar service but when they miss you for food service then we speak to the Maitre'd

we usually go later so cannot not say what it is like at prime time In Sept we arrived at 5pm but ship was overnighting & were were onboard in 10 minutes

we have sailed from Montreal twice last time in Sep 2023 Just go to the terminal they take your bags then you go inside & check in No fuss no muss😃

NO It kicks in at 180 days Categories PH and Below DAYS PRIOR TO CRUISE SAIL DATE - CANCELLATION AMOUNT 181+ Days prior - $150 Admin Fee pp 180-151 Days Prior - $500 Admin Fee pp 150-121 Days Prior - 25% of Fare 120-91 Days Prior - 50% of Fare 90-61 Days Prior - 75% of Fare 60-0 Days Prior - 100% of Fare

Hopefully those booking online would do their due diligence before hitting that "BOOK" button & paying the deposit The T & C's are on the website for people to read ahead of booking https://www.oceaniacruises.com/legal/terms-conditions If you do not understand something then best to contact the company & have it explained to you not just blindly click & pay It is not a cheap purchase for most people I find it very strange people would commit to spending 10k + & not read the terms JMO

Practice makes perfect 😀

There were actually 2 changes to the cancellation terms The admin fee which used to be transferable changed in the spring to Non Refundable The next change was the $150 non refundable from day 1 of your booking which if you booked after Sept 1st 2023 kicked in It is on your invoice but some people just do not read them until there is an issue JMO

It may be allowed if the pax was moving a booking to another cruise at the same time cancelling one If the pax cancels the cruise hoping to look for another cruise in the near future ..probably not allowed to move the admin fee It is probably a cases by case decision JMO

So if the info is on the pax invoice that is clearly communicated If the PAX chooses not to read their invoice or Cruise contract who do you fault then??

Have you looked at the Cancellation penalty schedule?
