We were on the Insignia in Bermuda Sept 2023 and the casino was open then. It was mentioned that a fee or license was in place. k🛳

We ordered ours on line as soon as they were available. With SM many more passengers are booking excursions to use up the allowance included.

About the silver level discount on the beverage package….. I was told it only applies if you purchase the full package, and not if Upgrading from the basic package included with SM or OLife. k🛳

All O ships have a spa with spa terrace, but it’s much smaller on the smaller ships. k🛥️

Sherri…. youre a girl after my own heart! I’ve been known to take an even dozen for a 10 day Caribbean! 🥿👡🩴🥿👡🩴🥿👡🩴🥿👡🩴 k🛳😂

Sometimes I lose count!😂🥿🩴👡

Orv is correct k🛳

okay…I’ll say it…..eight pairs….thats not a lot! I’m known for bringing at least that many pairs. We usually leave from ny or Florida, depending on the time of year. No plane involved. I’d rather have extra luggage and have a choice of what I’m wearing. Even when we took planes to a cruise, I always brought what I needed (wanted). Everybody makes choices based on their own needs. I get it that some people need to cut down on luggage, but as long as there are porters and luggage carts, I’ll be overpacking!😂🛳

The hat is beautiful, as is the dress. My only concern would be is the hat more of a “cold weather” hat or a dressy hat? It’s hard to tell from the picture. I think I would wear the hat, but I would add a small rhinestone broach or a sparkly hat pin. Whatever you choose, you will look lovely! k🛳

Why carry the wine yourself? Ask the butler to send the bottle to the restaurant you are dining in. It will be waiting for you there and if any is left, it can be properly stored or returned to your suite. k🛳🎄

I don’t think Oceania has ever required that both parties purchase the liquor package. The only exception that I know of is if you chose the drink package perk under O Life, both parties had to choose that perk. k🛳🎄

Clo… Nice to see you back. Lenny was looking for you. k😀🛳

Apparently my “personal” floats don’t keep me afloat. I always bring a blow up noodle purchased on Amazon. It’s very easy to pack and butler or room Stewart will have it blown up. 😀🛳

I will be sad to disembark! I wish you a wonderful cruise, wherever you go! As long as they have plenty of food and booze, I’m sure you will! k🛳🍸

hi tropicalkerry, just reporting back….the sea day at the beginning of our cruise was very hot! Very hot in Bermuda. Will keep you posted! Hope you make it to Bermuda! k🛳🍸

Joining you on this cruise!🛳🍸

thank you so much!😀🛳🍸

if I had room in my luggage, I’d take you along…

thanks! I’m sure we will enjoy. If you have any other questions just ask😀🛳🍸

I’m leaving on Wednesday, the cruise before yours. I’ll try to report back. k🛳🍸

We were on insignia for a TA from London to NY. 3 sea days turned into 6 because the captain was avoiding a storm. It was so rough, we were knocked out of our bed twice in one night! Hate to see how it would have been if we didn’t avoid it! A great time was had by us and our travel companions, even though we ran out of grey goose!😂🍸 k🛳

I’m in the dress up group. No, not necessary on Oceania, but we enjoy being a little dressier on a cruise. My husband always packs a sport coat and/or suit and I always have a few dresses that could be classified as cocktail dresses. No gowns or tuxedos for us, but maybe a step up from country casual. By no means is that required on Oceania, but you certainly won’t be out of place. Just do you and enjoy the cruise! k😀🛳🍷

I hope they get back to NY safely…we board on Wednesday😬🛳
