We would love to see Scotland as well!

Hi all, Opinions on best smaller cruiseline for port intensive England/Wales/Ireland?? We are Oceania people but they seldom do this itinerary. Thanks!! Kim

So sorry, we had to cancel that trip because, you know, Covid! So can't help.

No, not needed. I think they just have to send the notice. See you soon!!

Wow, sounds like you've got a great deal then. My old plan included Mexico and Canada but not SA. 65.00 for the old one and 75.00 for the new.

AT&T has a new plan. For an additional 10.00 a month one can add Mexico and South America to one's plan, includes unlimited text and calls. Previously we paid 65.00 a month and then had the international plan of 10.00 per DAY when we travel. So, this is a good deal when we travel next month to Central and South America.

Yes we were able to use our magnetic hooks on the walls on Vista.

Oh I hope he is our cd in December!

All the bars have pretzels and peanuts. I suppose, as with any cruiseline, there is a learning curve as to what is where and who does what. We've been on enough that we have relationships with several of the managers so we know who to whine to. So sorry you were disappointed.

We saved 6K doing the same thing! Good to have an awesome TA to sort it all out. We had to do it on our final day as well!!

We just saved over 5k on our Miami to Buenos Aires itinerary in December. Our final payment was due today. Our stellar TA had to split the cruise from a GV and then rebook as 2 cruises. We did have to switch to simply more but this will benefit us a lot. Very please. Not all change is bad.

It's a hand pump. Just bring extra bags in case one springs a leak.

Hmmm...not sure,,,maybe someone else remembers.

It's pretty much the same menu and same experience. There are a couple of new 'Giada' created items on the menu.

I have contacted guest relations and will let y'all know what I find out. kh

I think this is a great idea! I would love to see more interesting food choices. I don’t eat red meat and there is way too much of that already on cruises! I grew up in Fresno….how about you?

That is exactly how we felt! I wonder if they just didn't get some of the gel tops? Like the little clocks by the bedside were missing and they told us everything hadn't been unpacked yet! thanks for responding, nice to know we aren't alone!

thank you so much! I am glad it went well and isn't it great to have this option for those who need it? We figured it will take some clear planning, although we will be in Lima for 2 whole days. Thanks again, this is comforting!

Do you get these shots? Yes we know about the insurance etc. We also know that these are done worldwide and there are highly train opthamologists everywhere. Cost are way less than in the US. Shots here are 3500. each. Right now he's at 4 week intervals.

Have anyone of you been successful at getting your eye shot for AMD while cruising? We are wanting to cruise longer than the 4 week interval allows and searching, currently, for options in Lima but would be interested in others experiences elsewhere. Please don't respond unless you have this experience. We don't need advice or worries about medical services available outside the US. Sorry if we made anyone squeamish with the thought of eye shots! Thanks! Kim

Aha! There was no gel pillow top on our mattress. I think there has always been one in the past. I will have to check with them to see if they just didn't have them or if ours was must missing.

Oh, ok. I guess I just missed the brochure in the room. Could be, put seemed like the pillow top was missing. We have a European sleepworks mattress at home and they used to seem comparable. Just seemed very different. We were on sirena last year and they seemed ‘normal’.

We have always loved the beds on Oceania. Just got off a month on vista and pretty sure they have changed their brand of mattress. We found them firmer than before. Made for some shoulder discomfort and a firmer sleep. I know they used to sell their awesome mattresses but no longer do. I don’t think it’s our imagination or maybe it’s just that the mattresses are totally new? anybody else notice this?

Ok then. Please let me know what they tell you. We had a PH room years ago which came with a pillow menu, but none of those worked for us. We both have tender necks so the weight is worth it for us but I totally get it!
