clo Posted May 11 #1 Share Posted May 11 We sale 7/4 so that seemed like good timing. But in it was a letter that, except for our names, was completely boilerplate. We also got luggage tags with name inserts. (Great looking!) And a generic Nautica brochure. Should there be something else? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare thebsinmiss Posted May 11 #3 Share Posted May 11 Yes, there is another thread discussing the "blue envelopes" reappearance. No, there isn't anything else based on what three other couples and ourselves received for our June Riviera sailing. Nice luggage tags and the nice glossy PR piece on the Riviera. Nothing else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brochure we received had our names on it on several pages. For the page about our accommodations it showed a photo and other information about our Oceania Suite including the room number for our suite. We were highly impressed by the brochure....just like the ones on pre-covid cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes search on Google adding the word CruiseCritic and it finds threads that are impossible to searching on CC. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roothy123 Posted May 12 #16 Share Posted May 12 Is there a quick way to look for posts by name? Someone apparently posted info on the Simply More Excursion Package, and I searched for it and came up with nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder, six weeks out, will I get anything else in print? Emails are fine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think following pretty much is it…if I missed something, someone can add to it. 1) Invoice Summary…..which will include any tours you may have purchased and rundown of payments. Also will include a reminder to make sure Guest Registration form has been completed and checked for accuracy. 2) Final Vacation Summary + Online Check in instructions. A lot of summary is items included in 1) above 3) Reminders to check in online….sometimes even if you already have. 4) Your Boarding passes after you have completed check in You will start getting these approximately 3 weeks from sail date.

And how could I have forgotten the email to watch the safety video around 3 days prior to sail date and the reminders to do it even after you have already watched it several times. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emails are fine too. Nope, not the suite, I just checked my Jan/Feb book for Marina, 24 day. On page 4 it has personalized information about us, on page 18 it has our stateroom with our name, a picture of the room and a deck plan showing where the room is. Then for our most recent Regatta cruise that left on 4-20 for 11 days only had a generic book about Regatta and no personalized information. No suite for either cruise. So, it's one of a few things, they simply quit doing the personalized info sometime in March(my pick), they don't do them for the smaller ships, or it depends on cruise length. Or something else. .

Totally no biggie. And page 18 is the GDR with Baristas on the facing page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
