RDMOREU Posted March 25, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Does Oceania provide minature, wallet-sized copies of their deck plans? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted March 25, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Yes along with your world card when you check in at the port They are more of a side view showing the location of the public rooms I would take one out of the brochure if you want to see the cabin locations etc...

RetiredFL Posted March 25, 2013 #3 Share Posted March 25, 2013 There is one but you will find the ship is small enough it will take you about 30 minutes to get your bearings and feel at home. There is a list of what is on each deck at the elevators. A secret(?) is that what is on the top of the list is what is closest to that elevator bank on each deck.

RDMOREU Posted March 25, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Thank you for your responses!! LHT28 - I thought I'd mainly use it for public locations; but, after your comment, it would be nice to mark the location of newly-met friends. RETIREDFL - Oh, you salty dogs, giving away secrets!!!!!

Rare LHT28 Posted March 25, 2013 #5 Share Posted March 25, 2013 They are small & I cannot read them anyway but I pretty much know my way around ..as long as I can figure out which direction the ship is pointed in I am directionally challenged ..even at home;) Just remember most of the food is aft Afternoon tea is forward in Horizons That is all that matters :D Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no fuss travel Posted March 26, 2013 #7 Share Posted March 26, 2013 On the Marina, I also noticed that the telephone located in the foyer by the elevators was always on the port side. That was my way of turning the correct direction to get to my cabin. I would always look for the telephone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimandStan Posted March 26, 2013 #10 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Does Oceania provide minature, wallet-sized copies of their deck plans? TIA Guides are distributed in the World Card Wallets, but they are cross-sections, rather than deck plans, and show an overview of Public Room locations on the opposite side.

sparty1 Posted March 26, 2013 #12 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Another good tip:-) I also use the "PORT = 4 letters as does LEFT". It helps me navigate even after 40 years of cruising.

no fuss travel Posted March 26, 2013 #13 Share Posted March 26, 2013 But for those of us who are direction challenged, knowing port is the left side of the ship still does not work. I get off the elevator and have no idea which is forward or aft, so have to look for the telephone to know which side is port.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not help me unless i can see the pointy end of the ship ;) On the sailboat it was easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mura Posted March 26, 2013 #18 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Thanks, Jim. I never thought of that about the NCL fishies. We have only done one NCL cruise in recent years and I don't even recall the carpeting. But in the future I look to see which way they are swimming!
