Oceania Shuttles List

==================================================================

Does Oceania Cruises provide free shuttle service? Free shuttle buses are offered when:

• The ship is docked a long walk from the main thoroughfare
  
• Taxis and or public transportation are not easily accessible from the port. .
  
• The port is industrial and not pedestrian-friendly.
  
• The decision on whether free buses will be offered will be based on the port used and will be made closer to or during the sailing
  

Once on board, a list of ports that will offer a complimentary shuttle into town will be provided.

Has anyone used OLife air credit to fly from Barcelona to Atlanta. I believe the airline will be Air France (Economy from Barcelona to Paris and PE from Paris to ATL). Those flights leave at 6,8, or 10 am. disembarkation is 8AM. Should I deviate and stay another day? Use O's airport transfers? Use my own hotel in Barcelona? First time with Oceania

Thanks, I'll move over to O cruise flight forum

Has anyone taken an olife flight from Barcelona to Atlanta. I understand that Air France will probably be our carrier. Permium Comfort flights leave at 6, 8, and 10. What time do we need to leave the ship?

How much should you give someone who delivers room service, breakfast, lunch or dinner

Thanks for the great pictures. My TA said this was the best balcony to get since you have so much room, yet are still able to see a wide view of the ports and scenery. We said May 25 from Venice to Barcelona. Can't wait.

the only thing Delta gives is more leg room (drinks are included for all internationsl fares), but it's the non-stop flight that I'm really looking at. since O doesn't book until much later and non-stop is questionable. Has anyone booked through O that has flown out of ATL with PE? Would be interested to know about flights.

We are sailing on riveria May 25 ... does that mean a nice new ship??? or a change to another ship!!!

I want to fly delta out of ATL and asked my TA what the air allowance would be if I got my own air. He said $1000 per person. Delta to Venice and back from Barcelona non-stop was $1015 and I could upgrade to EC for less than Oceania's. Yes I have to pay transfers, but peace of mind knowing that I get the airline and seat I want doing it myself. Since the air as well as cruise is covered by insurance, I'm not worried about any losses if things change
