Re: Q#2

We will have spent 5 days in Helsinki with family, so would like to board as soon as we can to enjoy the day on the ship.

First ever cruise:

Nautica Baltic Sea

1. Will we receive boarding passes via email prior to embarkation day? I have a personalized large

Oceania brochure with our guest registration, itinerary, luggage tags, etc. Is this all we need?

2. Our travel agent has arranged for us to board in Helsinki on day 2 of cruise (ship departs from

Stockholm the day before). It arrives in Helsinki at 10 a.m. and departs at 6 p.m. What time should we

arrive for boarding in Helsinki?

3. How much of a problem is sea sickness for newbies? I plan to take Meclizine. Any other

recommendations?

Thanks for helping we Newbies!

First time cruiser with goofy questions:

1. Will we receive boarding passes in advance our cruise via email?

2. Our travel agent obtained approval for us to embark from Helsinki on day 2 of cruise that originated in Stockholm. Ship docks in Helsinki at 10 a.m. and leaves at 6 p.m. Any idea when we should arrive at the ship to

board?

3. Is it possible to change or cancel shore excursions once on board and is there generally a $ refund, or ship credit, or we just eat it? We have booked 6 excursions through Oceania but not sure if we want that many or may want to change to excursions with times later in the day.

Thanks for any help.
