  1. Thanks ORV, much appreciated.
  2. I'd do this if for no other reason than to burn some OBC, but also to see behind the "curtain". Did it indicate how many times this would be offered and for how many people?
  3. In 2001 on a transatlantic cruise on the Radisson Diamond we sailed out of San Juan PR. About an hour into the cruise, the Captain announce that we lost one engine but would proceed at a lower speed. It was nice to hear the truth, that's the way it should be done.
  4. hover your cursor over the person's screen name, it's on the bottom right.
  5. @ORV If you don't have this site, it has the wave height and wind forecasts, especially useful when you head to the Falklands and Drakes Passage Sailing Weather - Marine Weather Forecasts for Sailors and Adventurers - PassageWeather Thank you for this thread, it's welcome and timely, I'll wave as you get off and I get on the ship on the 14th.
  6. Interesting, but it raises a question, in my case I have an upcoming cruise with $600pp SM excursion credit but spent closer to $1000pp on excursions. So, if they cancel a couple of excursions are they going to claim that "those were the ones paid by the SM credit" based on order of booking (or some other criteria) or will they refund up to the amount I paid in cold hard cash (by credit card obviously) since that portion has nothing to do with the SM credit?
  7. I'll be next door to that cabin in a couple of weeks.
  8. Since pictures will be taken, I think it is fair to call it a drive by shooting. 📷
  9. Yes, I can say with 100% certainty and definitively that not a single thing on Marina has been refurbished, since it isn't scheduled until May.
  10. As long as it isn't the Marina (I say selfishly).
  11. This ^ I live in Western North Carolina and drove straight through in one day to Miami last January. Twelve hours doesn't faze me but taking two days is easy and way cheaper than flights even with parking, hotel and food expenses added in.
  12. I hope they have them if needed on the Antarctica portion of the cruise 🔥
  13. If she didn't send that $200 voucher in to Oceania, they aren't going to honor it. What is more likely, Your TA made a mistake, understandably doesn't want to fess up, but made you whole by giving you $200. or Oceania won't honor their own coupon which they send out by the tens of thousands? It could be either one. I'd lean towards the former, with no malice towards your TA, but reasonable people can disagree on this.
  14. Since no one has confirmed that this "Oceania welcome menu" is a thing, in fact several, including myself, have experience the opposite including someone on Marina right now, I'll assume your experience was either a one off or a misunderstanding.
  15. Your travel agent screwed up, that's where the blame should be placed.
  16. How does the BA passenger terminal look since the wind damage last month?
  17. A mylar bag would work too so you can keep your mouse in the Faraday cage. 🐁
  18. Even old New York was once New Amsterdam Why'd they change it I can't say Maybe they liked it better that way Witten by the Four Lads and covered by They might be Giants
  19. Should be pretty easy, most of the alte kakers don't stay up that late.
