We booked this cruise about 2 years ago. This will be our first TA cruise and 3rd cruise on Oceania. We like this itinerary because of interesting ports. We will spend 2 more weeks at the end of a cruise visit Spain and Portugal.

On my invoice it shown as gift order (this are not from my travel agent, it was add after my travel agent contact Oceania when I inquired about my shareholder benefits) and show as $50 per passenger however it not list it on my online account.

I got updated invoice from my travel agent show $100 as gift order but it didn’t show up as OBC on my account when I login. Does your $100 share holder OBC show on your account? For someone who received this $100 OBC, when it show on your account?

We booked this cruise last year. It will be our first Transatlantic cruise. if I will have that many sea days I would love it to be on Oceania.

Thank you so much. They said they will meet me at port gate.

We will be on Oceania cruise in September and we plan to rent a car in Rhodes from Rodos car rental. Which location I have to choose between Rhodes Port and Rhodes Town? I am a little bit confuse. Thank you.

Thank you for wonderful reviews. Are they any local people or boat hang around the pier that we can hire to go for snorkel?

If I understand correctly, there are 2 parties that offer free drinks. One is a captain’s welcome party and the repeater party. The repeater party is by invitation only for passengers who cruise with Oceania in the past.

How often Oceania test passengers for Covid? How do they know if people get Covid on broad if they did not show any symptoms?

One thing I am looking forward to is the afternoon tea on Rivera. I read some reviews said they not as good as it used to be. I have been on Nautical once but never went to afternoon tea. Some reviews are from January 22. I just wondering what is it right now. Anyone have pictures or want to share recent experience? Thank you

@mauibabesIs Wagyu Tomahawk Steak available at Polo Grill?

Thank you for clarification. I see Amex and Oceania SBC on my account now. I read on Amex terms and conditions and it said “credits cannot be used for casino charges, gratuities or other similar charges.” Good to know I can use to pay for gratuity. Thank you

I got $250 SBC when Oceania canceled or cruise. Can I use that to pay for gratuity? I know that I can’t use $300 SBC from Amex cruise privilege program and $100 SBC from own Norwegian stock to pay for gratuity. Not sure if SBC from Oceania can use for gratuity.

@Cruise Wonderland As of now I know 3 people who got 3 different offer. Seem like you and me get offered the same cruise. Do you take the offer or cancel? Some people turn down the offer and cancel the cruise. I hope Oceania let us choose the cruise we want from the first email. My TA called O and the rep know nothing about 1st email. She only see the cruise O rebooked me. My TA will contact O and see what they can do.

Did you get other choices? Our first cancellation email Oceania gave me 4 alternate Rivera itinerary. But the 2nd email ( 3 minutes later) they rebooked me with Rome to Monte Carlo. The other get rebooked in June out of Barcelona. O honor the original price we booked plus OBC. Our category is on waitlist. Hopefully, we will get upgrade. Just wondering if I still be able to choose one of the cruise they offer. I contact my TA but she still not get back to me.

Our cruise is the last one before it go to major upgrade. I get a feeling that O might cancel this cruise. Hopefully, O will let us know sooner than later. I paid the deposit with my FCC which I had to use by Dec 22. If O cancel this cruise, will I have the use it by 2022 or they will give me extension to 2023.

We booked Rivera from Mote Carlo to Trieste(Nov4-14). Every category on this cruise is on a waitlist for at least 2-3 weeks now. I know this cruise is not sold out. There were a lot of cabins available when I check at the beginning of April. The Rivera itinerary before and after this one are available for booking. I don’t know what’s happening. What might cause this? Will Oceania cancel this cruise if the booking is so low. I know no one knows for sure. Just want to hear the options of the regular O passengers.

Thank you for your post. I am looking forward to hear about your transfer from Trieste to Venice airport. Our cruise in November from Monaco to Venice which later changed to Trieste. Email from Oceania said they will offer complimentary transfer to Venice airport. We booked our own flight but I think the complimentary apply to all passengers. We will stay in Venice 2 days after the cruise. Just wondering what time they start transfer people to Venice airport. I am thinking about take Oceania shuttle to airport and then just go to our hotel from the airport. Is it a good idea?
