Rare vlthom Posted August 5, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 5, 2011 We are excitedly preparing for our first cruise with Oceania on the Marina. We are wondering if the cabins are equipped with umbrellas for use by the passengers? Although I'm hoping for beautiful weather, I think that the reality is that we'll see some rain along the way and I'd like to be prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marebear Posted August 5, 2011 #4 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Please be aware that the umbrellas provided by the ship are quite large and will not fit in any pocket, backpack or purse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted August 5, 2011 #5 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I much prefer a rain jacket with a hood rather than any umbrella i have bad luck with umbrellas & the winds;) lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TERRIER1 Posted August 5, 2011 #6 Share Posted August 5, 2011 The umbrellas provided by the ship are HUGE. You can fit a small country under them. They are great if you are making a mad dash somewhere but very unwieldy to carry around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkeyeCruisr Posted August 5, 2011 #7 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I agree, the provided umbrellas are much too big to carry around all day just because it might rain. I bought 2 very small umbrellas at Target that take up practically no packing space at all and easily fit into a purse or day pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillianrose Posted August 6, 2011 #9 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Now I'm curious to see a picture of these humongous Oceania umbrellas. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CintiPam Posted August 7, 2011 #10 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Now I'm curious to see a picture of these humongous Oceania umbrellas. :) I don't have a picture, but they are golf umbrellas. (I simply packed a six-inch fold-up one, which was much more useful.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
