wkwayne Posted January 14, 2006 #5 Share Posted January 14, 2006 We are anxiously waiting as well. There will be 4 of us from the Kansas City area. Anyone have any good tips on what not to miss in these ports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustRich Posted January 15, 2006 #7 Share Posted January 15, 2006 No, my biggest concern is not Bird Flu, pickpockets, scammers, being run over by bicycles in Viet Nam.... My biggest concern is: Where are we going to watch the Superbowl???? Here are the possibilities I've have come up with so far: 1. On the ship - If it's on, I say we have a jammy Superbowl party. It starts at 6:00 a.m. Monday, Hong Kong time. 2. At the Amercan Chamber of Commerce of Hong Kong Superbowl party: http://www.amcham.org.hk/events/sp_060206_superbowl.html 3. At a local sports bar: http://www.skitzbar.com Please tell me I am not the only one bonkers enough to be concerned about this. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JoePDX Posted January 15, 2006 #8 Share Posted January 15, 2006 My biggest concern is: Where are we going to watch the Superbowl???? Please tell me I am not the only one bonkers enough to be concerned about this. Rich Rich, I don't know about bonkers... However, I doubt you'll be surprised that this hasn't crossed mine or Jeff's minds.... :eek: Joe P.S. Sure a lot of dog avatars in this group. Scottsdale Cruisers are dog lovers too! We need a cruise line that will pamper our pups too! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnhamville Posted January 15, 2006 #9 Share Posted January 15, 2006 My husband would be in favor of watching the game somewhere. As for me, it is o.k. if we do and o.k. if we don't. We leave two weeks from Friday. When should we be expecting our final documents from Oceania? Phyl P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We leave two weeks from Friday. When should we be expecting our final documents from Oceania? Phyl P. Hi Phyllis, The posts I've seen regarding documents are 2-3 weeks generally before departure. I asked our travel agent about his a couple weeks ago. She didn't have the answer. Since we are not using cruise line air, I'm not so concerned. It's not like you are going to be denied boarding. However, it really is a cool day when they arrive!! Cheers, Joe & Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JoePDX Posted January 17, 2006 #13 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I e-mailed Oceania and received the following response. Not exactly an answer IMHO.....:confused: Greetings: Each stateroom and suite is equipped with a remote controlled, 20” color television with the following programming: Daily Activity Channel Destination Information Channel The National Network (TNN) Cable News Network (CNN) Satellite TV (subject to availability) You will have a program guide available to you in your stateroom and you may find the Super Bowl on the satellite channels if the ship is able to pick up the station or has access to the station. It is not guaranteed that the satellite channels will pick up the game, however. It will be our pleasure to welcome you aboard. Sincerely, Oceania Cruises www.OceaniaCruises.com Your World. Your Way.

farnhamville Posted January 18, 2006 #16 Share Posted January 18, 2006 My gosh, Joe and Jeff, that would be a panicky passport problem!! So glad you found them. I know what you mean about not being able to focus at work. How can I work when my mind is in Hong Kong???!!! Glad you got your documents, too. Something about getting them makes it official. We leave Des Moines on Feb. 3 and will be staying at the Marco Polo just one night. So, SEE YOU IN HONG KONG!!! Norm and Phyllis P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
