Has anyone used Bernards Express just to get to and from Orient beach. I like the idea of not having to flag a taxi back for a return to the ship. Thanks

I'd be a little careful and allow plenty of time to get to your flight. They can tend to get bunched up and then leave large time gaps between taxis. Last trip for us we boarded at the Doubletree and then couldn't get back there because there was a wedding charter boat blocking the dock.
Thank you! Good to know.

Hello. I have seen suggestions to use the water taxi to spend a few hours before going to the airport after disembarking. Our ship offers luggage, transportation to the airport, so that would not be a problem. How do we get to them and what do they cost? Are they hop on hop off?
Thank you! -

Yes, when you board, you’ll see crew members selling the packages on Day 1 and some ships also on Day 2.
You can also buy It on the App, once OB. You can use OBC to buy it and you also save the amount of insurance you would have paid precruise on it.
Thank you! Very helpful😊

Can we book this when we board? Still deciding. Thanks!

On another thread someone posted a pic of their phone showing that if you clicked to use Ocean Now in the app it warned you of the $15 fee and you had to hit accept. So if you don't use that then you will not be charged. Both charges only happen if you don't have one of the newer packages that includes it. Some have reported only 1 in their party activating the app and ordering all the food to their room as delivery is free to the room via the ocean now....hope i made that make sense.
Thank you. Now I understand how it works!

If you do not have a “current” package then calling room service via phone is $5 per call. The $14.95 is to register to use the app to order food one time charge for set up
Thank you!

Is that automatically added to our bill or only added if we use delivery service? I believe it’s a five dollar room service charge unless we have a plus or premier package. Not quite sure about the $14.95pp charge.

We haven’t cruised in several years. Do they still do the champagne waterfall? What about the captains reception? What day is that usually held? Thank you!

Where do we go to pick up a taxi to the beach. Possibly Eagle beach. Not interested in a tour. We have done a tour in the past. Just a ride and then a pick up. What would the cab fare be and what is the cost of renting chairs and umbrellas. Thank you so much for any help!

If you are on the Emerald now, would you be able to tell me what time is Happy Hour? 4:30 or 5? Thanks so much.

If you're platinum or elite you will have a letter in your cabin with place and times there are also an assortment of appetizers along with the bar. It's every night usually music entertainment as well. On one of the formal nights it is moved to the Captains gala and will be free drinks that night.
Thank you!

Yes, they have elite happy hour from 4:30pm - 6:30pm.
Drinks from the elite menu are $9.44, including service charge.
We were told they now have it earlier to accommodate the guests who have 5:00pm dining.
Thank you. That is very helpful as I am trying to book some dining times!

Hello. Is the balcony dining experience still be offered? If so, How do I book it? Thank you!

Thank you for all your replies. I really appreciate these boards and the people who take the time to reply! We will be sailing on the Riviera next year!!

Thank you for your very helpful replies! It is our first Oceana cruise and I appreciate the room advice. We also like mid to aft cabins. There are pros and cons for me with the extended balconies, but those lounge chairs are calling my name! : )

How far is the walk from the cruise port to pick up a taxi? Is there a taxi stand or must you flag one down? Thanks!
