Jancruz Posted July 14, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I have found out the following information today: 1) The information on pre and post Iguasu Falls trips will be posted on Oceania's website by the end of the week. 2) Iguasu Falls will be sold as a shore excursion on the February 2, Buenos Aires to Rio 3) Hotel Packages 1 or two nights will include 1 way transfer..for instance 1 or 2 nights pre hotel include airport to hotel and hotel to ship.. 1 or 2 night post include ship to hotel and hotel to airport 4) Additional transfer may be purchased separately Jan ***** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindrift Posted July 15, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 15, 2004 It was my undewrstanding that Iguazu Falls would also be available on the Jan. 3rd trip as well. Confused???? Yes, I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdowney Posted July 15, 2004 #3 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Jan said that the Falls would be a shore excursion on the Feb 2 cruise. For the Jan. 3 cruise, it would be a pre-cruise option. The Jan. 3 cruise is headed in the wrong direction for the falls to be a shore excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudiaF Posted July 15, 2004 #4 Share Posted July 15, 2004 and what are they charging for the transfer from ship to airport in Rio? Thanks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaudiaF Posted July 15, 2004 #6 Share Posted July 15, 2004 RDowney, "Spindrift "only wanted to know if it was available for January 3 as well as Feb.2 cruise.. reread the post ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdowney Posted July 19, 2004 #7 Share Posted July 19, 2004 We're looking at the pre-cruise hotel package in Buenos Aires. My TA is reporting that Oceania says the package includes the hotel-to-ship transfer but not the airport-to-hotel transfer. That's not surprising since Oceania is charging $70 for airport-to-ship transfers, but it is different from what Jan reported. The pre-cruise hotel package may still make sense for us because we can avoid the air deviation fee that we would pay if we booked a hotel directly at a cheaper rate. I also noticed that Marriott, which Oceania is using in BA, is reporting no availability on Jan. 1 and 2. I don't know whether Oceania is holding a block of rooms or will move passengers to another hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jancruz Posted July 19, 2004 Author #8 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Hi, Your travel agent is incorrect..the transfers airport to hotel ARE included have her/him call again.. if there is a problem have them mention my name and ask the VP Jan ***** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdowney Posted July 19, 2004 #9 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Thanks, Jan. I'll give it another try. Both transfers plus a hotel night for $125 per person seemed too good to be true so I didn't question the answer that my TA got from Oceania. The wording on Oceania's web site is vague on this point; it refers to ship and hotel but not airport. I can understand why their agents might be confused.

Jancruz Posted July 19, 2004 Author #10 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Hi Roger, I agree BUT I have spoken to the V.P. twice today and have been assured transfers airport to hotel are included at that price..!! Thanks, Jan ***** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdowney Posted July 20, 2004 #11 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Jan is 100% right. On a follow-up call, my TA was told that Oceania's agents just received email stating that the airport-hotel transfers are included in the package price. This information was also added to their web site since yesterday. Thanks, Jan. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jancruz Posted July 20, 2004 Author #12 Share Posted July 20, 2004 You are more than welcome..I do think that their hotel package is a great deal.. Jan ***** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane110 Posted July 21, 2004 #13 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Jan, Do you happen to know if............... the hotel deal includes breakfast? Oceania's website doesn't say? its a standard or upgraded room since Oceania's website says luxurious accomodation should I assume it's upgraded?

Jancruz Posted July 21, 2004 Author #14 Share Posted July 21, 2004 The price does not include breakfast and it is a standard room at a deluxe hotel.. Jan ***** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
