I get that this frustrated you ALOT on the Vista but for many of us, maybe most of us, two devices is enough. We enjoy disconnecting from the world while on a ship, check emails daily and "surf" some but that's it. We've always been fine with Celebrity's one device per person that we received in a suite as recently as April of this year so am sure we'll be ok with Oceania when we board Vista in Dec. Might be interesting for Oceania to survey their guests about this. Someone like you obviously needs more.

OK 5 months, but DrKoob stated it was 90 days.

Intereting comparison. We are trying Oceania on Vista in December and thinking about trying Viking sometime in the future so all your comments are appreciated. One note, I'm pretty sure that Oceania, in the last month, changed final pay date to 6 months out, which is still better than Viking.

I agree, we have cruised Princess several times and enjoyed them all. With their new "Princess Plus" and "Premium" the perks are equal to and in some things exceed what Celebrity offers these days.

We are trying Oceania in December. Suspect it will be a great fit for us based on all the reading I have done. If not, it may be time to step away from cruise vacations for awhile.

What is the opening time for GDR?

And the same to you. Hoping when we walk off the Vista after our December cruise that we will have found a new home. Celebrity Retreat was our main choice for the last 2 1/2 decades, but as you say, things change and we just wanted more for our $$. Hopeful that Oceania will fill in the gaps we've missed/lost.

We too did a lot of reading about Oceania before we booked our first cruise on the line which will be this December. We have been unhappy with changes in prior lines along with large price increases which led us to Oceania. If you're going to spend the dollar then try and make sure you get what you want. It seems Oceania will fulfill that, but we won't know until we are onboard. And we can't wait!!!!!🙂

Just saw a post on another social media site from someone currently on the Vista stating they are experiencing 12-14 foot waves, the post is from about 6 hours ago. It included a short video of their stateroom showing the bobbing and weaving of the ship!!!! Looks like a rough night for Vista, the post was tagged "sleepless on Vista." 😱

This looks like great fun!!!

As I said, from what I have learned you have to have more than one booked to get a better final pay date. You just stated you have 3 booked at this time, so am sure you have the better dates. Enjoy your cruise, we will be on Vista in December

It is our experience that this is only true if you have more than one cruise booked. A single one and you still have to pay in full a year in advance.

Exactly what ours did.

Yes, he did

I have a filled prescription prescribed by my doctor. Thankfully my insurance covered the cost. Of course, my husband has been in the health care industry his entire career, we would never jeopardize others.

We will bring our own Covid tests and RX for Paxlovid to the ship. This seems like a lot of money for the medical treatment.

Here is the link to the roll call:

We are on the same cruise and in Roatan we are going to the GumbaLimbo eco park. We were there in 2013 and it was a really fun day and hope to find the same this year. Why not join the roll call for this cruise, there are quite a few people who have already joined, you are likely to get ideas there.

That's what I thought. I'm sure we will find something, have never been hungry on a ship!!!🙂

Is there room service the afternoon of embarkation day?

While we haven't gone so far as to have lunch somewhere local we do regularly show up later to embark. I asked the question because we are new to Oceania and didn't know what the protocols were. Pretty sure we will stick to our 1PM or after arrival. I like your idea though and perhaps sometime when we are embarking in a port that is of interest we may do exactly as you say. Miami just isn't one of them for us. Thanks!🙂

Thanks!!!!😁

I get that completely. We just prefer to be able to place our bags in the room, so we will arrive a little later to insure we are able to do that.

PH1? What should we expect time-wise?

Thank you, I was wondering if I could do this since our reservation is through a TA.
