The PH's had a major redo in the final iteration of the plans . Staterooms below and suites above were the left outs of major work.. Here's what was said by Oceania: https://www.oceaniacruises.com/oceania-experience/post/marina/new-features-coming-may-2024-marinas-refurbishment

Look carefully at the 2×7 day voyage ports. We booked a 14 day (2×7) vancouver to Vancouver cruise in 2025 that only repeats Glacier Bay. So it really depends on the specific itineraries

If you prefer late, you should be fine for getting additional reservations onboard. Here's the FAQ for advance reservations: https://oceaniacruises.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360005477653-How-many-dining-reservations-am-I-allowed-in-each-specialty-restaurant

Correct.

We use our individual CC accounts where there are large purchases that are clearly personal to one or the other. Otherwise it's balancing of points, miles, and other benefits that we use use them. We like having a small individual checking accounts so we feel we can splurge once in a while on some special treat or need for ourselves.

We have his, hers, and ours bank accounts and credit cards. But for cruises, regardless of the purchases, we consider it ours. So we both register the same joint card and both of our onboard charges show up on the same account display and on the single final bill.

This is our experience, too.

The #3 is irrevant, as that option is no longer available for new bookings. O does not provide an algorithm that states how many excursions are required for the SM discount. Maybe your TA can find out in advance, but short cruises frequently don't have that option. If the site says N/A, then I would assume it's not for that specific cruise. A good TA will be able to sort it out.

There is a Simply More Excursion Package which is a 25% discount off all excursions which you book a certain number of excursions, just like the old OLife YWC program.. It is not automatic. The number depends on the number of port days in the itinerary and is specified in the pdf that lists all excursions. Below that number you pay the "Tour Price." The allowance is simply funny money and does not invoke any discount. On some shorter cruises, the Simply More Excursion option does not appear. Your TA should explain that to you and send you the pdf of your excursions if he/she hasn't done that already.

Yes, if you book piecemeal, you will to call your TA (or Oceania) to get it applied. Make sure you have them all booked before you call, so you don't have to call a second time.

That's what I remembered. And yes, each way could be separate. Thanks for confirming.

And cruise with air, but no Olife?

The airfare was never really free. You could always decline the "free" air and get a credit on the total fair.

Once I've logged in, MVJ keeps me logged. If I manually log out, it requires logging in again. I use email and password with no additional verification needed. I was sent a verification code that I could have used for non-email log in.

We're on the Magenta Max 55+ plan, which unfortunately no longer available for new subscribers. This plan has unlimited calls, text, and 5G data (where available) in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Internationally, we have unlimited texts, 5GB of high speed data per line per month , unlimited 256kbs after that, and 25 cents per call, for 256 countries. We've used it in Canada, Argentina, and Chile and were very happy with the service. And of course, it includes WiFi calling. The newer version of our plan is more expensive, but provides a much higher data allowance in foreign countries. We have a hot spot allowance, which we haven't used, but the newer plan has a much higher allowance.

So glad we switched to T-Mobile.

When we had Verizon, it was $10 per 24-hr day, not per month. Has that changed?

No more than 2 at a time.

BA says minimum connection time for Terminal 5 is 75 minutes. I think the will have to accommodate a change for you. https://thepointsguy.com/news/british-airways-increase-connection-time-heathrow/ See the point: "Passengers who had already booked flights before the time change have been contacted by the airline and offered new connecting flights when required."

Don't change your plans on the basis of the information provided here. Go to a real source.

I could only wish 🍷

You should check with your TA. On the Riviera, a select number of PH3s did not get the tub replaced to accommodate those who wanted to retain the tubs.

Do you know they are not available to other lines? The ports do have an economic reason to provide them to all ships. I don't have the experience with other lines at the same ports, so I'm curious.

Thanks. We will be there in March.

This was what I was thinking, but I guess I should have allowed for the exceptions you noted. Thanks.
