  1. Not sure if previous message posted so if it did, I apologize for the duplication This is our first time on Oceania, we are in concierge class. Our final payment is due this week and travel agent also requested our preferred dinning times for each night of the cruise as well as which nights for specialty restaurants. She said she will make them all. I have read on this board that some people make them at 12:01 the day they open up. Should I leave it up to the TA or should I be one of those that stays up all night making reservations??? How hard is it to change on board? I know there are only 1250 people on board but how small are the restaurants that I have to worry about getting the requested times especially when I am in concierge level I really need help and advice..... PLEASE
  2. We are sailing on Oceania for the first time this fall. We are in concierge class and travel agent asked me for my preferred time for dinner reservations for each night of the cruise as well as which night we preferred for the specialty restaurants. She told me that she would handle it. I have also read that people go on at 12:01 to make their own reservations Should I be doing this online or does she have a contact at Oceania that she goes through? Can changes be made once onboard? Do you share tables? As you can see, lots of questions and concerns. I know there are only 1250 quests and I am wondering how hard it is to get your requested time other than 9 pm. Please give some insight as to how and what to do. Thank you
  3. We just finished a trip that started in Buenos Aires and started three days prior to the cruise. We used Gyde&Seek and chose a private guide for all three days (she picked us up at the airport) and ended three days later at the port. They can customize your day. The guide we used was Ariel for the entire three days even though it shows her specialty as Jewish history, absolutely phenomenal!!!!
  4. Any suggestions on what there is to do there for a day? Can you hook onto tours/guides outside of the terminal?
  5. My wife has Parkinson's, she can walk somewhat and she insists not to give in and order a wheel chair for getting off the plane and going thru customs. Can someone out there give me a little insight as to how much walking will be involved before we finally get to the car service that we have ordered? I am leaning toward ordering a wheelchair thru AA but not looking to start our vacation off with an argument when we first arrive, Thank you in advance for your information
  6. use viator, no need for cash, its all prepaid before hand
  7. look into Viator, you can use a credit card
  8. texting works, use Whats Ap. Streaming (movies etc) is not good
  9. I was not concerned about coming back to the US, my question was about boarding in BA for the cruise on the Infinity. I know there is no testing on the Infinity this week for the cruise to Patagonia but that boards in Chili (friend on that cruise) At this point since nothing is on the Celebrity website and on the Argentina website it states that no testing is required to enter the country, that its not going to be an issue unless something changes in the next 90 days.
  10. That’s my problem, nothing is listed for Argentina
  11. Did she use a proctor or have to use a site in BA for testing? How many days before do they require testing?
  12. What are the testing requirements for boarding for this upcoming South America season? I looked at the website and could not find anything listed for Argentina. Looking to travel to Buenos Aires a few days early and depending on the boarding requirements will have to set up a proctored test and or self test and take a picture. Please shed some light on this Thank you
  13. We are scheduled to fly to Buenos Aires on April 1 (arriving April 2 8:00 am) from Miami and just wondering (best guest estimate) of how long the process is from the time we land until we can meet a car service? I know that there are extenuating circumstances such as luggage delays, number of flights, number of people to be processed, etc. I am finding that most car services have a set time that they will wait. If I had somewhat of an idea from those of you out there that have gone through customs in Buenos Aires, I would have a better idea of what type of service to set up as well as best time to schedule for touring the day of arrival. Thank you in advance for your help.
  14. We are set to sail November 12 and need some information for planning out our specialty reservations and excursions. Can someone please give me an idea of the special show times and days (I know that they change from time to time) but am looking more for somewhat of a schedule for the shows that require reservations, that have to be made when we get on. I have not travelled for years on Royal (mainly Celebrity) and in the past you could make reservations ahead of time so you could plan around the shows especially some of the large production ones. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I would like to book everything (naturally other than entertainment) as soon as possible. Thank you
  15. Thank you The big question is what are the cruise ships going to require?
  16. its still showing $30.000 on the government site
  17. Not on website, thus the reason for posting the question
  18. Is there any word on requirements for pre testing on cruises leaving from Buenos Aires?
  19. Has anyone heard if there are any covid restrictions/requirements for cruising out of Argentina? We are scheduled for this spring out of Buenos Aires and not sure if Celebrity has lifted all their covid restrictions like they have for cruising out of the US
  20. I just did reserved yesterday, $100 for a cart for 2 or $130 for a cart for 4. No deposit required for booking. You can go snorkeling and use their cart. You rent for the entire day
  21. I just did it yesterday and they responded immediately and after I sent them a reply, I received my confirmation for the rental on Nov 15 (day we are there) Cost is now $100 and a refundable deposit of $100 at time you pick up the cart. You do not need to give a deposit or credit card at time of booking
  22. just tried and still not working. Kept asking me to change my password
  23. I know its a day to day issue but would like to know as of today what is the requirement for testing on cruises that sail from Buenos Aires and Rio? I know about Europe but have seen nothing on SA. Please give any information you have Thank you
