Rare ORV Posted March 16 #1 Share Posted March 16 (edited) Just got documents for upcoming cruise. They have a nice blue folder everything goes in. 4 luggage tags that you can continue to use and an insert for your current cruise. They have a plastic tie to attach them with. We didn’t have these in January so it must be a new deal. Edited March 16 by ORV 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, there's never been an explanation why we are treated less well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if they are sending out ‘packages’ again I think we should be first on the list! Edited March 16 by Vallesan 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare makai 7 Posted March 16 #6 Share Posted March 16 We did not get these in January for the February 28 cruise, so it is definitely brand new! We received the paper folder only, with the pre printed tags for the cabin, nothing else. enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Written in British English and priced in sterling so, presumably, printed here and mailed from here. I assume that's all handled by their office in Southampton.

golfguyhhi Posted March 16 #9 Share Posted March 16 Orv, Got mine last week for early April cruise. I rather like the reusable luggage tags. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pinotlover Posted March 16 #12 Share Posted March 16 ORV; We got ours last week for our 4/1 cruise. Besides the tags you have shown, there was also a multi page brochure on the Riveria. None of our cruise information was included, just a fancy brochure on the Riveria with pictures of all its cabins and dining venues. Other venues such as the pool and croquet court was also featured.

Tranquility Base Posted March 16 #13 Share Posted March 16 I'd be happy if they eighty-sixed these and gave me the hour in port back.🏞️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, same for us with a book on Regatta. No personalization at all. I guess all that will be in the final documents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a fair amount of mention last year of folk no longer getting them. And we didnt get them for our cruise last June (and havent for our forthcoming one). Maybe the change of policy was sometime between your April cruise and my June one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr1v1alCru1ser Posted March 16 #18 Share Posted March 16 @Harters & @Vallesan, I’m not totally surprised they’re not sending them to the UK. Our post to the UK is really hit and miss and can take weeks and weeks to get there. However, when we went on a cruise with friends in the UK, they did get the pack and ours as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtravel Posted March 17 #19 Share Posted March 17 Since the pandemic, we haven’t received the blue book. Not a big deal. Two out of our 3 post pandemic cruises, we didn’t get luggage tags. At the ship, we got tags. Again, not a big deal. Blue books were classy, but not essential. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree … classy but not essential… but … there was always a little ‘thrill’ when the package arrived as you knew the cruise was ‘just around the corner’! Not essential but nice! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sekhmet Posted March 17 #21 Share Posted March 17 Another UK passenger here - we just received the blue pack for our April cruise, with the luggage labels, decorative tags and the glossy ship book. Getting close now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Harters Posted March 17 #25 Share Posted March 17 51 minutes ago, Vallesan said: I wonder if they have restarted again. If so, seemingly, only for cruises from April. All I've had for our cruise this month is the emailed "final cruise vacation summary" (same as we got for the cruise last summer). Which is absolutely fine. We did get the full pack for our 2018 cruise and I can't recall it including anything of significance that isnt available through our online account with O, so no big deal one way or the other.
