  1. May 2024 or May 2025? The ship's sailing schedule seems full during both of those months.
  2. Thanks, but this method did not work for me (even after logging in).
  3. Primarily, yes, although closer to mid-ship the casino appears to curve toward the starboard side as well. Related, I'd be interested in whether sound from the grand lounge on the starboard side (across from the casino) leaks upward into the cabins above.
  4. How was the condition of the cabin and balcony furnishings on Eurodam? Reports are mixed. Thanks, and safe travels.
  5. Is it permissible to leave the ship after embarkation to wander the port area?
  6. Is there still a smoke smell near cabins 150 (and up)?
  7. Good day. I read that, in March 2023, Windstar enhanced its plant-based food options. Can any recent Windstar cruisers -- pre- or post March 2023 -- advise on the variety and quality of the vegan and gluten-free options on-board (e.g., tofu, veggie burgers, gluten-free pasta). I'm specifically considering the Wind Surf, but any advice would help. Thank you!
  8. "She gets hers in May and I think returns to sailing May 18." Regatta or Marina? Regatta is fully engaged in sailings during May (2024). The next break in the sailing schedule for Regatta is March 30, 2025, to April 9, 2025.

  10. Thanks for your replies. But my concern is related to health, not financial, concerns: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/pfas-chemicals-in-sparkling-water-polar-topo-chico-study/
  11. If this comment, plus your earlier likening of the food to "dog food," is not "overly harsh or dramatic," what would be? I'm sorry to hear that you are not enjoying your cruise.
  12. "Items such as sodas, energy drinks or other non-alcoholic items are not allowed on board in any form. . . . However, an allowance of six liters, twelve (12) cans or cartons (500 ml in volume or less) or six (6) cans or cartons (1 liter in volume or less) of water are allowed per stateroom." Is carbonated/sparkling water considered "soda" (disallowed) or "water" (partly allowed)?
  13. Soda cannot be brought aboard on embarkation in any form -- e.g., cans, plastic bottles, glass bottles? What's the rationale for the new policy? Is it only to enhance profit or is there some sort of safety-related concern?
  14. I've never seen "guarantee" cabins available for booking on O while other cabins in the same category were still available. But some other cruise lines do offer that capability (e.g., Azamara, Celebrity).
  15. For two itineraries, I compared pricing between the brochure and the website. For each itinerary, the US website alleges that a 10% discount will be provided for bookings through December 31. For both itineraries, the brochure prices were indeed 10% less than the current prices on the US website. Presumably, once bookings open (or, at the latest, once a booking process is underway), the brochure prices (i.e., the discounted prices), rather than the website prices, will appear.
  16. For what it's worth, I just spoke with another phone agent who was confident that the 10% discount is already baked into the prices listed on the website (and will be until year's end). We'll see!
  17. There are only 2-3 formal nights per week; and, you can opt out of the dress code on those nights, but your access to some areas of the ship will be restricted.
  18. The only gap in sailings in the next year is from April 19, 2024, through May 1, 2024, in Seattle. Could this be a dry-dock period? Thanks for any information.
  19. Could you reveal the cabin numbers? I'm looking to book an oceanview cabin that is quiet and midship. Also, what was preferable about the picture window vs. the porthole? Thanks.
  20. An Oceania telephone agent told me today that the early-booking discount is already baked into the fares listed. (As we know, though, agents can be wrong!)
  21. Does anyone know the approximate dimensions of the window in the deck 4 oceanview cabins?
