Does anyone know if we can now store our luggage at SCL for half a day? We have an Oceania transfer on February 14, 2024, and our flight to SFO is late that night. We'd like to store our luggage at the airport, then head to Santiago to tour on our own. I've read that luggage storage was supposed to open soon, but haven't heard when. Thank you Loretta

Does anyone know if there is a way to review passengers' comments on specific Oceania excursions? I'd like to be able to type in an excursion number and see what people have said about the tour.. Thank you!

oops, I see now they are not doing tours in 2024.

Are they still in business? I can't get on that website. Thanks!

We've been on two 20 day cruises this year on the Riviera. Closet space is not an issue. There are also lots of drawers. And as said before, we kept our suitcases unfolded under the bed.

We're also doing Patrick's tour, now called Adventure Falklands I think since Jimmy retired. I tried to book Solo Expeditions to Magdalena Island, but because we don't dock until noon, they couldn't take us (nor other tours I had contacted.) So we're also on the ship's tour. If you don't mind, could you let me know afterwards how both your tours went. Hope you make it this time! Loretta

Incredible information....thank you very much, again! I've now learned to double check with Oceania to make sure our tours aren't mistakenly canceled! In Port Stanley, we're hoping to get to Volunteer Point in a 4x4, but once again, only if the ship doesn't cancel the Port. As you did, we booked O's tour to Magdelena Island, so hopefully we will be able to see penguins at one of the Ports! I'll study the other Ports too with your suggestions. Much appreciated! Loretta

Thank you so very much! Our January 2024 cruise begins in Rio, and ends in Santiago. We don't go to Guayaquil but here are our other stops: Ilha Grande, Itajai, Montevideo, Punta del Este, Port Stanley, Ushuaia, Punta Arenas, Puerto Chacabuco, Castro, Puerto Montt. We're hoping to see penguins in either Port Stanley or Punta Arenas depending on weather! Is there any advice you can give us on these other Ports, if you did any of these? Really appreciate it! Loretta

Thank you all for the very informative responses! Keep them coming! Loretta

Thanks!

Thank you The big negative, other than cost/crowds, is that the O tour bus is required to take the crowded road back to the Port, same as the road the trucks take. Therefore, the O tour is more of a "drive-by" tour. If in a minivan, then we could take the faster road back and have a real tour. So I'm told. I don't know if that is accurate.

Any advice on whether or not to go to Sao Paulo from the Santos cruise Port? We're on the Oceania Marina in January 2024. I've read that traffic is really bad, so we need to allow extra time to get back to the ship. Wondering if it's even worth going there since traffic could cause our visit to be so short. Should we stay closer to Santos? I've read that, if going to Sao Paulo, it's better to take a tour that goes by car or minivan because those vehicles can take a faster route back to the ship than buses or bigger vans. Thoughts? Thank you Loretta

Hi Flatbush Flyer! I'm not aware of the discounted fare. Do you have a ballpark on what kind of savings BoB offers? Thanks Loretta

Hi, Could you explain your comment about alternative uses of SM credits if O cancels. Do you mean choosing a different O excursion or are you saying we can use the SM credit for something else, maybe ship board credit? Thanks Loretta
