I am a new to Oceania cruiser who has taken more than 150 cruises on other lines. I still have questions about policies on Oceania that might be the same or different from other lines. If you don't like a question, just ignore. But understand that the question is usually important to the one who asked. My thoughts exactly!! We are experienced cruisers as well, but new to Oceania, and I have found lots of good information by reading through the posts. If the questions/answers are repetitive or boring to long time Oceania cruisers, I ask for your indulgence. It's probably best that you just skip over the whole topic of the post. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pfft its never a prob Rio help, I am nowhere near as experienced an O cruise as most on here but happy to help where I can. I’ve had almost exclusively good experienced on O, some very bad misses, but still my line of choice, I may be a bit of a cheerleader, but I will call them out if I think they have done wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare the more ports the better Posted November 30, 2022 #28 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Jancruz, is there a way to get info on whether the Myanmar stops are still on for next year? We are scheduled there in May. All next year, there are only 3 O ships, one Regent, and one Viking scheduled to stop in Myanmar. Between sanctions and the coup, I’m wondering if O still plans to visit the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My TA did not know how to/could not produce the PDF, so I called Oceania Cruises and had someone there e-mail it to me. I have it now. I’m puzzled why the Oceania website does not have this available when I pull up my booking. That would be been so much easier for most of us. Perhaps this PDF file is downloadable from the website. I haven’t figured out how to get to it though. Naoyuki Edited December 1, 2022 by Psoque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robjame Posted December 1, 2022 #36 Share Posted December 1, 2022 On 11/29/2022 at 1:46 PM, Psoque said: Many years ago, most cruise lines sent us a booklet of available excursions for your particular itinerary with price information. Obviously, this format is no longer used by most cruise lines, but it was a great way to help us research the individual tour option and make notes on it to help I don’t know how soon your cruise will be. Approximately 3 weeks from your cruise, if your TA has shared your address with Oceania, you will be receiving your “blue” book. (No longer blue but rather a folder of books). One of the handsome books is excursions - very nicely laid out by port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ToxM Posted December 2, 2022 #40 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Just a general q, but I know someone will know. We won’t get a blue book (again!) so no luggage tags. When we rock up at Terminal J in Miami, will there be an O representative who will give us some tags before the bags gets whisked away by porters? I would rather sort all that out rather than drag my stuf into the terminal to find someone. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JoePDX Posted December 3, 2022 #48 Share Posted December 3, 2022 For our Riviera cruise this past September we did not receive any pre cruise “book” or luggage tags, When I asked TA about it she called O and they said there was an error in printing addresses and it was to close to sailing to rectify. So I made my own luggage tags. I had some clear holders with metal loops I had bought on Amazon for an X cruise (which has print at home tags). I printed up labels with O logo, ship and sailing date, stateroom number and our names. Guy at the pier when he asked if we had tags, looked at them and said “these are the best tags I have ever seen”. 😃 They are sturdy and reusable, so I will do it again. Here is what I ordered: https://smile.amazon.com/Cruise-Luggage-Caribbean-Celebrity-Essentials/dp/B09Q94FLCC/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=72IRFHTK6ECQ&keywords=celebrity+cruise+luggage+tag+holder+2022&qid=1670093346&sprefix=Celebrity+cruise%2Caps%2C447&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzODE2RFRWVUROQ1U2JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNTI3MzQzMzdHR0ZXWkxUTEVaTiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMjA5NDYwMVhOMFg4Q0lQQkVITyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU= Joe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
