Acrusa

Think you might  be better off in Long Beach. More choices and not too far to port.

We requested the small bottles of Perrier replace all the cans of soda in our cabin fridge and replenish every day. The room stewards are.  very accommodating

The OP is talking about a pre cruise ship excursion. For peace of mind the excursion will arrive at the cruise port  on time and know the ship will not leave without them.That's worth the price.

I would think Oceania would offer a post cruise excursion in Sydney that you can take

We will be cruising on the Nautica and the trip starts in Cape Town Africa in 2026.  Has anyone done a pre-trip 3-4 Oceania pre-cruise though the company?  Not sure if they offer one or should I plan it on my own.  Rather go through them if it is offered.  Thanks in advance and happy sailing !

We have done pre and post excursion with O in the last 15 years 

You should look up cruises that O is doing in  2024 and 2025 to Cape Town they will list all the pre and post excursions with prices 

I've never been on Carnival  but don't they have soda on board? 

We are staying overnight at the Hyatt next to LAX and flying out the next morning to JFK.We have done this flight over the last 15 years but getting a little older to wait for connecting flights 

To be honest I shmeard the desk clerk when I arrived at around  9:30  and got the room at 10. But since there is the option now for day pass I'll go with that.Thanks for all the help

Pretty sure that is correct. If you want the day room, then you want the day pass through PG (it's an add-on that you book through your travel agent or with the cruise line). We did the direct-booking day pass (the Lotus Pool day pass) and were totally fine with that. There is a bathroom that you can change in before heading to the airport in the evening, but no shower (I was told there is a shower by the pool, but we didn't swim or lounge in the sun that day).

 

As an aside to my June comment above:  They let us have the lunch buffet instead of the 2-course meal with the Lotus day pass. It was a mediocre lunch buffet that day (we love the ICH brekkie/brunch buffet!).

Thank You where you able to check your luggage with the hotel? I read they have a Spa to change clothes in maybe I'm wrong .in 2017 I was able to book a day room and checked in at 10 am.

if you are going to get coffee anywhere on ship to take back to your cabin be sure u have a coffee thermos with a top. O does not have plastic covers for the paper containers that people bring into the elevators that spill. 

I contacted ICH and was told they have a Lotis Pool day pass but no longer a day room. Am I missing something? Getting off ship and leaving that night 

Looking at Le TAHITI at Pearl Resorts. Always have stayed at Intercontinental any opinions. 

There was always 2 prices listed 1 including air and 1 cruise only very simple even after the SM was included. Now it is changed.

Is there still free airfare on Oceania cruises?

NOPE

Private "black car" limos, yes. Not Uber X. You have to go to LAX-it for Uber X. Uber Black can pick you at your terminal.  

Thanks I got the different types of UBER mixed up cause I do not have a UBER app LOL

I've found that depending on which terminal you arrive at, it's sometimes easier to just walk to the LAX-it area rather than waiting for a shuttle (that hopefully isn't already full).  It's a short walk from the terminals at the east end of the horseshoe (terminals 1, 7, and 8).

Tell me if I'm wrong but I was informed that private  limo companies and UBER X can pick you up in front of your arrival terminal at LAX

I spoke to a rep. at the hotel we are staying in Long Beach and have arranged for a driver to pick us up at LAX and staying 3 nights and taking us to San Pedro for our cruise. Not cheap but I hope reliable LOL.

I have no idea, I was doing a mock booking which would be the same as booking for real for a new booking. May be different for cruises already booked. I just looked on our March 6, 2025 booked cruise online and I can't find an option for booking air, might be that we booked without air to begin with. 

When booking leave with air selected on and after u confirm cabin # the air purchase appears 

Received an Oceania Your World brochure last week in the mail. There are no prices in this brochure and have to go  to  Oceania web site to see them and they do not list with or without air.

It's the weekend. 

It's always the weekend.  But ussaly they state it on the website guess someone forgot  LOL

We are booked on the Jan 7th LA to Papeete. We did this same exact cruise on Oceania in 2017 weather was great.That year was able to book the ICH day room but this coming cruise only day pass.

So. What's New?

Noon flight from LGB would be easy. It is a very small airport, very easy to navigate.

I don't think there are many non stop flights out LGB to the east coast I think LGB is more of a regional airport 

Need recommendation for LIMO service out of LAX

booked 4 excursions for our Jan 2025 cruise in March
