Nope...no wine..

thank you for your post...

Did you book an inside guarantee? then indeed you did well.

I will be interested in what you think.

Yes I agree...just says Nassau twice. Have never experienced a cruise line going to the same port twice, once at beginning of cruise and once at end.

Yes received notice of new itin, from O, through agent...says Nassau twice. On another site, people are saying it will be stirrup cay that I would be happy with. Just wondering if anyone has that confirmed.

Yes I know, call O or call your agent. But has anyone done that already and gotten an answer?

Someone on another site said that a second stop in Nassau is really stirrup cay. Can anyone confirm that? I would be very good with that. I know NCL has thatvas a private island but does O do private islands?

Couldn't O come up with anything other than repeating a bad port twice...guess not.

Charleston is the main reason we booked this itin. Not happy about going to Nassau one, twice is insulting. Yup a sea day.

We were on the insignia pre covid. It was so amazing that we gave up being elite plus with celeb to sail O only. Since then, have done a marina TA and a Carib on the Riviera in January. Not as amazing (food), but better than anything anywhere else. I say that after being on a Viking Ocean in March. We will be on a back to back in Sept on the Regatta, I will post when we return.

Yes, I know if we had a Connoisseur Club agent things would be different...but I just cant seem to be able to give up the generous rebates we get. Yes I know, without a ConClub agent, we are basically on our own to do everything. sorry derailing my own topic....

Yes had the same issue, only saw prices in CAD... So got a VPN...now easy to see US prices... It's easy to do...very little cost.

Yes, over 50 cruises, in about 30 years, although only 5 with O, after September it will be 7. Definitely know what it's all about but still relatively new to O. Will be very happy with a somewhat mid ship inside. If not yet assigned when we get on board, Sept 7, we will be able to check while on the ship what they have for us for Sept 20. I think it is an advantage to be on the ship and be able to do that. I realize that it is Head office that controls the assignments and not the management on the ship. We have never been on a ship not knowing what the stateroom would be for the following sailing, should be interesting.

yes all sites show as only waitlisted... we will wait for the surprise and will report back as to what we ended up with.... that will give others some guidance in booking guarantees...

Wow, the O site here shows the whole ship as waitlisted. Will contact the agent.

Believe it or not, we are travelling with carry ons. Our Air Canada is still losing luggage and is very unreliable. Yes for a 20 day cruise we are doing a carry on. Have done it before to Europe, so it IS doable. We will pack up our own. Hope they dont mind. the last cabin available when I kept checking was 7002, We will probably get that, but we will be on the ship sept 7, this sailing is on the 20, so while on the ship, if we do get 7002, we will keep asking for anything else, to minimize motion. thank you for your comments.

Its good to hear that happy endings are possible. I am not stressing over it. It will be what it will be. It is only a seven day cruise. We will manage.

Thank you for the above. We are approx 40 days away from our sailing on Regatta. We are on the previous sailing in a mid ship balcony. I added this one as an inside guarantee when the extraordinary sale came out. After that the ship quickly filled up. I am not looking forward to having to pack up and switch cabins but knew that going in. The only hope is that the inside that we get, will be somewhat mid ship. Has anyone else ever booked an inside guarantee?

doesnt seem like deja vu to me...or I would not have posted the topic... if it IS to any of you , please just ignore....

then you did very well.... there is hope...

Yes they do. I want less motion.

As long as I'm not in the nose or last in aft, I'm OK.

I'm not savvy enough to play the game. And also usually not lucky enough either.

not good.... if that is the case, I will never do that again...
