We are headed to Shanghai today. A surprising policy change by Oceania regarding free Internet. In the past both passengers in the cabin could sign up for an Internet account, which made access very easy. No more. When I tried to sign my wife up, I received a message that said the cabin limit had already been reached. I ask the internet manager about the issue and he explained the new one-per-cabin account policy, which started on our cruise. I then went to the concierge, who was very surprised there had been a change in policy. After consulting with the internet guy, he called Miami. Policy change confirmed. It was originally supposed to start on the Bangkok to Rome cruise but they moved it up. An annoyance to an otherwise great voyage so far. Puzzled that Oceania did not publicize the new policy beforehand. I don't enjoy being surprised. It was so easy when we both could read e-mail at the same time.

Passengers with free internet should check their invoice. Ours says free internet for passengers 1 and 2, which means we will sign up for two accounts for our cabin.

Going along with the title of this thread, has anyone run into celebrity passengers?

Presume Willie also will be the CD for Nautica's March 10 cruise?

This is all so interesting. Thanks so much for the updates and please keep them coming! Have a fabulous rest of your trip!

According to Oceania, it's Willie. Maybe somebody aboard Regatta at the moment could verify.

Just called Oceania. Their documents still show Willie as the CD next week. Guess we will find out for sure when we board the ship. It will be a great cruise Willie or no Willie!

Odd. I assumed he would be our CD next week because he was listed in the final documents we received.

Thanks for the update on Willie. We look forward to meeting him next week. Should be a wonderful cruise!
