  1. Thanks StanandJim

     

    Our experience on other lines has been that the photographer's department

    has had a selection of cameras to buy in addition to the onboard photographs.

    thanks for your response

     

    Regards

  2. Hi Everyone,

     

    We are sailing on Regatta from Miami on 28th March and I need a new digital camera for the cruise.Can anyone tell me if digital cameras are available to buy onboard.If so,does anyone know if it is generally more cost effective to buy onboard rather than in the UK.

     

    Thanks in advance

  3. Hi Everyone

     

    we are on the Regatta Mayans and Islands cruise out of Miami on 28th March.I am starting to research the shore excursions and I'm particularly interested in the train trip from Colon to Panama. The cost of this trip for 2 people is £362 or circa $500.It seems that if you just turn up at the station and buy a one way ticket for 2 people the cost is $50.This is 10 times less than the cost that Oceania are charging.Clearly this is not an absolute comparison as we have to return from Panama and there are the convenience and safety issues to be considered.However,I can't help feeling that the Oceania cost is out of all proportion or am I missing a trick somewhere?

     

    This is our first cruise with O and would appreciate any opinions on the value or otherwise of O's excursion costs.

     

    We look forward to meeting the many veteran Oceania cruisers.

     

    Kindest Regards

  10. Hi Everyone

    It is my wife's birthday on 15th April which is the day that we sail away from Mumbai.I would like to book a table in Prime C for the evening.

    Does anyone know if it is possible to make a table reservation pre-cruise or will I have to take my chance when onboard?

    Many Thanks
