The question is were you going to book an A1? I personally would just get a regular balcony, or at the least a lower level A. That's a little over $1000 a day for that room. What is the itinerary?

I double checked this and actually it shows the number without all that rigamarole. I guess people were having too much trouble with it.

Interestingly enough I'm on a 20 day Combo cruise, 2 10 day segments, and there are two excursions offered on the turnaround day in my planner. One of them is for those with mobility equipment only and the other is for those with canes, walkers or other mobility issues. I don't think I'll book either one. There are none that are regular tours that day. But as stated I'm sure there will be one or more offered for that day during the first segment.

Unless they forget ..........You would think if they list Dinner with an Officer as a perk then it should happen. On a recent cruise we were having dinner with the GM & OCA/FCC and the other couple were on their first Oceania cruise, in the Owner's Suite. FWIW, the food doesn't taste any better when eating with them but most times they order much better wine that what's on the by the glass menu.

Thanks for that, I couldn't find an old one. I stand corrected concerning how long you have to use it.

Things upper suites won't get you on Oceania. I'm not including PH in this. Reserved Seating in theater Special reserved area by the pool Unlimited Beverage Package A special bar just for elites (unless you use the one in your suite) A special restaurant just for suite dwellers. As Ronrick alluded to there are things that are not listed as a perk that exist for those in the upper suites. One is special attention by the General Manager. Dining with an officer or Captain. Priority Tendering. There are quite a few things that are listed as a perk I won't list. But feel free to list any non mentioned perks.

We've done this also, worked out well but our flight was around 3 or 4 in afternoon. 9pm is a long time to mess around. I'd consider either renting a car or a day room as Vallesan mentioned.

You can also find out the required number of excursions needed by logging in to your cruise, click on book shore excursions and look for the little ? in a circle. Hover you pointer over it and it will tell you the amount needed.

Someone mentioned and I don't know if it's fleet wide, but they reported the Filipino bands have been replaced by Eastern Europeans.

Interesting, I actually had it served on Day 1 in the Terrace but I specifically asked for it multiple times after that and was always told Germain was all they had. On a related subject when we were on Marina the wine list by the glass had Raymond Red Field Blend 39, but it wasn't available on Regatta. Oddly enough I did see it listed by the bottle for $50 on Regatta. I actually had a case shipped to us as it's not available in our area, but it was around 13 a bottle. I like it as well as the Conundrum red.

Do you run faster with the Lasix?

You can use it to book a cruise later, but if you want to cancel it you only have one year. I'll see if I can find the details.

I think you pointed this out when I mentioned it was what was being served on Regatta as of 2 weeks ago. When we were on Marina in Jan/Feb it was for sure Monopole, but Regatta 2 weeks ago had the rotgut Germain, we had Prosecco instead, it was drinkable, don't remember the brand.

Actually though, and you probably know this, the key cards will tell you what level of room a person is in if you know what you are looking for. This was actually on the Regatta, another poster mentioned it and I recently checked it out less than 2 weeks ago. Yes, there is no lock or any sign of any description saying restricted to Concierge and above. So, if you didn't know you weren't supposed to be there or just wanted to go out there it's completely available to everyone. I don't know about any of the other R ships. I'll check Nautica in August. Although truth be known I really don't care much about going out there even when I have access. Only time I took full advantage of it was in Venice on the Riviera during the sail out. My wife and I were the only ones out there. That was pretty cool.

There is no need for that. There's always snobs, it's a big enough ship to avoid people you don't get on with. Most of the people that I've met over the years on Oceania have been nice folks, with a few exceptions. But I've seen no one bragging about which room they're in. It might come up in a conversation, but generally not in a boasting or "I'm better" kind of way. The worst you might run in to is to be at a sharing table in one of the Specialties that is just a bad fit. We've had a few of these over the years, especially those that can't leave their politics at home.
