EJL2023

Did you happen to have any shore excursions through Oceania on at the 2 ports that were cancelled? If so, how was that handled with regard to your account?

We have a SM cruise in January 2024. The pdf only notes the 25% off, nothing with regard to the Unlimited option.

Same here as our recent Vista cruise was amazing. But then again, we don’t go looking for things to complain about either.

Have you thought of an Oceania excursion that goes there? I know excursions can be such a horrible concept for many on here. But, if somewhere you really want to see and there are concerns of pulling it off time wise it may make sense to bite the bullet and take an excursion. Also never know if they may shorten the port stay also that could complicate it even more if using private and already a tight timeline. I’ve never been there so perhaps someone who has may say easy peasy to do with the time allotted.

From what I can tell if there are 6 or fewer port days they are not included.

You will love it none the less. Great choice for the extra days in Rome and Barcelona! And I think you will love the Vista! I know we certainly did, a gorgeous ship.

Received your excursion pdf for that one? Hopefully that one indicates the Simply More pricing and unlimited.

Is this the 11 day cruise? Only reason I can think if it is that one is due to perhaps only being 6 ports.

Did you receive the Excursions pdf with your booking documents? If so, check the document, it should state under the Simply More pricing of the minimum number of excursions needed to receive the 25% discount if applicable. And we also had issues with pricing when booking our excursions online. We called and the O rep did them all for us and it was priced as we thought it would be.

Not really sure people are complaining, rather than just making an observation that the mailings have significantly decreased. 🤷🏻‍♂️

We have noticed the same here. Seems like we were getting something 3/4 times per week. Haven’t received a thing now in over two months.

Per another thread, no they are not

Can’t Please everyone?? How about anyone!!!

I think this will work fine. We took the train from Venice to Trieste and it worked fine.

It obviously varies by the type of wine. But on average say $15. There is a 20% gratuity added IF the glass of wine is consumed outside of the House Select beverage package parameter, ie not during lunch or dinner.

I should add that the 25% discount does not apply to the Private Executive Collection excursions. Those would be at the full list price.

It applies to ALL of the excursions. The number needed depends on the cruise but assuming you already know for your particular cruise it is 5. But once you hit that number, all excursions are with the 25% discount.

I see that equal mix of a red wine and Coke is a thing in Spain!! The Kalimoxto!! So I guess you could pull that off with your drink package. And don’t forget the lemon wheel for garnish! Proceed at your own risk!!

I guess you didn’t read my prior post.

Or I kept on top of the situation and was able to select it before someone else did.

Well let’s just say it is pricey. On Vista in May, a female traveling companion booked a few hair Wash and Blow dries and they were like 105 each. She was appalled by the price but had a lot of SBC to use so did it anyways.

Actually it says maintenance is tonight from 8 until midnight.

This happens some time. Has happened to me before. Go in and ADD it back just as you would have when you originally added it. Someone else had this happen last week and they did also as I mentioned and it showed again.

I’d say it may depend in which category you are doing it in. So not always true. We did GTY on Vista for a B1. We ended up with stateroom 8071. I’d take that stateroom any time.

I would think this late in the game will not be the best of,choices. We booked a cruise in Guarantee for a B1 in September 2022 for a sail date in May 2023. We were actually moved to Confirmed in late January 2023 about a month prior to Final Payment. Have to say was more of our doing though as we continued to look at our cruise every couple of days. One day we looked and our category indicated Available! We got on the phone to our O rep and she booked it. While we were thrilled, it does kind of make you wonder how the whole process works though.
