He is, in fact! How did you guess?

Our doctor also gave us a hard no on taking Paxlovid along, just in case. The good news is, I think O is stocking it on their ships, although I think someone reported it cost $800. 😳 We are fully vaccinated, including two boosters, and still managed to catch the dreaded Covid from a trip to Ireland. Fortunately, we had mild, to the point of asymptomatic, cases that I also attribute to those vaccines. Now, we are just hoping that we had the BA5 variant that might have given us a little immunity boost to get us through to the fall when the new boosters are available. So. Over. It.

Thanks, all, for your answers, some of which did answer my question, but even the other ones were illuminating. Must admit that I was hoping for the full value of both the O gratuities and that from one of the agencies we use through their consortium. Now I just have to do the math to see which is our best offer. I really do appreciate the responses and, like FetaCheese, I’ve learned a lot from this board.

Has anyone receiving complimentary prepaid gratuities from Oceania also had an offer from a travel agency that included gratuities as a perk? If so, how did that work? Thanks much! Jane
