Does anyone know if Oceania is still mailing out luggage tags and the blue customized booklet before your cruise?

Wonderful review!  Do you have the room service menu?

The revised itinerary is awful.  Now only doing a technical stop in Panama. Really you are going to be at sea for 8 days in a row.  We were trying not to cancel but now no point of going.  We were on an Oceania cruise Jan before the virus with the stops at the beginning of the cruise.  They really should give us our money back and a credit toward another cruise if we cancel.

I spoke to Oceania last week and they said they are mailing out 7-10 days before departure.  

Just to let everyone know that are switching plans I spoke to Oceania this morning and there is a possibility that they may go back to original Dec1

Itinerary.  They heard from Ecuador and Peru overnight and will know Monday which Itinerary they are doing!

Good luck to Oceania and all who sail on her ..

 

If you have a chance to send us some info about what has changed, what works, what doesn’t, Currents and menus.

 

Most of all … have a lovely time 🙂

Thanks for posting.  I’d love to see some current pictures and if balcony cabins have been refurbished!

Does anyone know  if the Marina was refurbished in May 2021.  If so what was actually done.  I saw on another post someone say it had been done in May 2021.  But no where else have a confirmed this was done or what was refurbished.   We are scheduled to cruise in Dec 21 and it will be nice if this is done.

So glad that Oceania is requiring all to be vaccinated.  We are booked in Dec and we would have cancelled if this was not the policy.

I just wish Florida required all to be vaccinated on cruises and then cruises could begin without test cruises.  Booked Dec 1 from Miami to Lima and really looking forward to this cruise.  Final payment due soon and unsure what to do.  Hopefully Oceania will extend date for final payment until sailing from Florida is expected to begin.  I trust Oceania to keep us safe once vaccinated while still providing an outstanding experience. 

I wonder if the Marina refurbishment will be completed prior to sailing?  It was originally scheduled for 2020 and then delayed to May of 2021 but I haven't heard if they are going to do it.  We are scheduled to be on Marina Dec 21 and we were told when we originally booked that it will be refurbished before our cruise.

Watching now!

I am so happy that vaccines will be required.  I will feel must safer on our Dec Oceania cruise knowing that everyone on the ship has been vaccinated.  NCL got it right.  Now hopefully, Oceania can resume cruising ASAP.

I will feel much better taking a cruise if passengers and crew members all have been vaccinated.  

Oceania Marina’s refurbishment was also delayed.  Hopefully, this will also be completed before returning to service.  Last I heard it was scheduled for May 21 but I don’t know if this has changed.

We have an 18 day cruise booked for Dec 1 2021.  I wish they would extend final payment for the cruises the rest of this year since we lose money if we cancel less than 6 months in advance.  We really want to take this cruise but pushing us into making a payment decision so early may force us to cancel.  If final payment was 60 days before hopefully we wont have to cancel.  

Thanks for all the updates.  Very helpful!

Are you the only ship at Terminal J

Are you at the port?  Thanks for all the updates.  It really helps to let us know when to leave for the port.

Fabulous pictures.  Thanks so much for posting.  We will be sailing in January.

One of the major plus for Oceania in the past was eating in the dining room at lunch.  Over the last few cruises the dining room was only open for a day or two for lunch in Europe.   We were very disappointed.  We are doing another Oceania cruise in January on the Sirena and hopefully the dining room will be open for lunch.  

Thank you so much for posting.  I've been searching for weeks trying to find refurbishment pictures.

Does anyone have pictures they can post of the Sirena after May 1, 2019 after the ship was gutted and updated.  Thanks!

Love the update. We've been on the Riveria many times and are glad you are enjoying your cruise. We will be on again in May.

Thanks for keeping us posted!

Thank you for your update. We are thinking about using Oceania Transfer since they are handling our air and telling us to contact them if we run into a delay and they will take care of it with no cost to us. I will discuss with them what the best way to get to the airport quickly once on the ship if not I may arrange for a 7:00 am transfer privately since flight is 10:40. We will be arriving on a Wednesday. Hopefully, it all works out.
