This cruise is just over 4 months away,  and only 2 of us on the roll call! Just hoping a user unfamiliar with roll call will see this post and join the roll call to share private tours! Please join us at:

I know what you mean about your feeling of "discomfort". I remember as a child asking my parents why ANYONE would want to go to Germany after WWII.

We LOVED our tour in Berlin with SPB tours. Not sure we'll ever get back, and enjoyed all we saw and learned. The most interesting monuments I've ever seen.

My TA has confirmed that our cruise on Sept 24th is the first cruise after refurbishment.

So sorry for your loss. Cherish all the memories you made together on O.

merci, encore!

Lyn, could you tell me the date/time? Many thanks!

we did Rome to Rio starting in Nov in 2011. It was perfection!

Those photos just look SO WRONG!!!!!!

Have a great time!

I've been in this cabin on both Riviera and Marina, and love it!!!

Best balcony EVER!!! and close to laundry. Quiet cuz it's not near elevators/stairs.

We have it for 31 days starting mid September, can't wait!

here you go:

I believe the poster was "cbb", and her thread was called "and so it begins" or something like that. I think that perhaps the organization of the cabin may have been on her husband's blog, though.

I suggest you post on the Oceania board, looking for cbb.

We were on a couple of segments with her, and I remember reading her posts.

I think the A1s on 8 have connecting doors to the next cabin....I wouldn't choose  that.

we found it very noisy in 10032, near elevators. Others report never hearing a thing.

Thank you both!!!!

But what if I have bookmarked a page(a roll call),and when goto the bookmark,I am on page one of the thread?

Used to be able to click on a thread, and go to the first unread post. I can't seem to find a way to do this now. 

Is it still possible? Please teach me!

Thanks Lou, I know.

Everyone gets one reservation in each on a 7 day cruise, so it seems you would get 2 on a cruise over 18 days. Not a big deal, just surprised at the low number!

We have a 19 day cruise booked for next year, and I was just looking at various things in My Oceania.

I am quite sure that when we took a B2B of 18 days and 20 days in 2016, we got 2 reservations in each restaurant on each leg. We were on an R ship then; next year's cruise is on an O ship. This is what it reads for our 19 day cruise:

Owner's Suite, Vista Suite, Oceania SuiteCruises 7 days or less: 1 reservation at each restaurant

Cruises 8-17 days: 2 reservations at each restaurant

Cruises 18 days or more: 3 reservations at each restaurant

Penthouse SuiteCruises 17 days or less: 1 reservation at each restaurant

On cruises 18 days or longer guests in suite categories (OS,VS, OC and PH) can make one additional reservation in each of the specialty restaurants. Concierge level and below will still be eligible for only 1 reservation per restaurant.

The extra reservation must be made for the final third of the cruise.

Was it always like this on O ships?

I would think if they grandfathered the PPG thing, they should grandfather the amenities.

Yes, just taxi to hotel when you land. We stayed at Arc Las Rambles, right at the bottom end of Las Ramblas, and fairly close to the port.

In Athens,we stay at Hotel Ava, you can see the Acropolis at the end of the street. They had a flat rate to the airport, ask about it when checking in.

last year, we used Tuscany Bus.

in the search function, type in Cabin 10032, and read the threads. We found it VERY noisy at night, others didn't hear a thing!

expect to want to return to Oceania again and again! It is wonderful!!!

Honestly, I don't see why the footwear matters so much. It is only seen when people are walking to their table, and only then if people look down to see it. Once you are seated, it is a non issue. I don't think very many would dress appropriately and then don a pair of ripped runners or dollar flip flops, but I do know SOME would push the envelope.

Baseball caps in Jacques bother me a lot more!

As someone with foot problems, I sometimes wonder if I will need a note from my doctor!

I have contacted my TA once with an offer, and it was accepted, but the category was marked as available.
