If you like aft-facing cabins like we do, there are four A1 cabins on decks 7 and 8 and two A2 cabins on deck 6 that usually get booked pretty fast.

Question? What is the advantage of an aft cabin? thanks

Planks set up in the buffet in the evening.

Steamers was another evening.

 Anyone know if the Enchanted  will have a Planks and Steamers too? My favourite places to eat! 

Thanks for all the great info. We've decided against Oceania. Maybe next time.😎

Recommendations for specific TA's are not allowed in here. However, you will find the best producing agents are members of Oceania's Connoisseurs Club. Do a web search and take it from there ...

No worries ,Thanks.

I would take the Cruise only fare  & book your own air  

first class with Oceania is more than you can book yourself

Then you can fly in a day or more early  on your own time schedule

You have to do the math with the O Life deal

If you take the excursions as your perk it may work out  as the better deal  but yes they are usually bus tours  with at least 30 of your new best friends  😉

 Air Canada  have PE seating on overseas  flights   but Oceania could use other Carriers like BA/LH/KLM 

Find a good TA  that knows Oceania  & have a chat 

 

Thanks, suggestions for Oceania agencies?

Thanks, Who did you  use in Canada?  Can you recommend a TA? Is that allowed here?

Thank you for your quick reply I will check that out tomorrow 😎. Do you prefer Oceania? Have you been on Viking? Interested in Croatia ports . Can’t travel in the spring only  In the fall . Cheers and thanks . I guess I have my work cut out . DH wants to go to the Med, I’m more of a Tahiti kinda girl , just show me the snorkel spots 😎thNks again .

Schmer1 😎 Okay I must have read it wrong , what is premium economy ?  I don’t think we have that on our Canadian lines? Thanks In  your experienced opinion of Oceania , is Ole worth the upgrade? Are the excursions just mass bus tours ? Cheers 

Thanks Flatbush, so if i wanted to upgrade to first class air  for 200$ then Ole would be worth it just for the 1st class air, am I correct in saying so? Is Oceania an adults  mostly , an upgraded cruise? Do you like them? Looking at Viking vs Oceania, we're not experienced cruisers so  looking for personal experiences and recommendations. Thanks

Hello, Considering Oceania and I do not get the ole life ? Is this part of my price or is this extra? Someone explain this to me.

Is Oceania worth it? Looking at Med in Sept/Oct 2020. Have sailed Princes and Holland, Gratios!

I've wondered if getting two coffees at one time might be a problem.  As with all things Princess it probably will depend on the ship's staff.

I had no problems ordering  2 brewed coffees at the same time in June on Caribbean Princess. I did have the old punch card, and then had to buy another new one on board. The medallion is great for this!

I was wondering how waterproof it was..

I wore it the whole time 👌🏻Snorkelled maybe 20 hours with it , it’s great 😎I love the classy look of it , didn’t need to wear my bracelets 😎

I got in on the ship in June, comes in silver and gold and looks real sharp 😎not cheap looking. I think it was around 40 $ . Made very solid , never came off . The medallion just pops out if you need to scan it, but mostly you just tap it on the machine. We love them! DH just got a plain black rubbery band that he did not mind . Don’t worry you’ll have lots of time to figure out which style works for you 😎when you’re on the ship. hope this helps 😊

I love  mine, wore it 2 weeks ,never took it off. Scuba diving, snorkelling...light as a feather. love it!

Was it really $25 OBC or did you have to spend additional $$ to receive it? 

 MISS PP2,

Yes it was a voucher for 25$ to spend as I chose on the cruise.  NO strings attached!  Not sure I can be any clearer on this, I guess I was the lucky one. LOL😎😎 I do have a foto in the archives.

What about those that claimed it was THEIR cruise?

Were there fist fights?   🤔

Colo Cruiser ...... No issues at all !   Holland staff were very firm and professional. This was a French Polynesia cruise so very easy , laid back and courteous passengers, like I said ... no issues that I seen or heard of. 

Hello Coral, Where did you stay in Civ?   We're doing the same on the Enchanted next fall. Looking forward to your comments and reviews.  I think the Enchanted is pretty much as the same as the Sky. My daughter was in the officer ranking for 8 yr with princess and they experienced the outbreak a few times.  Mostly starts with Passengers never washing up. Staff always commented on Dirty Passengers! Sad but true that grown -ups want to skip this step .  ON a  recent Holland Cruise there was a staff  permantly stationed at the buffet area ensuring everyone washed up properly using soap and water.... no one got past them !   Many tried and were denied entrance!   I thought it was a great idea.  Hope you have a great adventure on the Sky.

😎Cheers. 

Dirty Passengers ! 🙁

It was very much appreciated and I did receive it !

He’s definitely a steak lover, so CG would be ideal.

Let Princess know you are celebrating a special day, I got a 25$  birthday gift  certificate under my door, a beautiful birthday cake  at supper, and just a wonderful day. I now have a lovely  PC hoodie from the boutiqe . Take advantage of all your free b's.  😎Have fun!   This was on the 14 day Carribean Princess in June of this year.

It was a new booking and believe it or not, it was Princess and I questioned it at the time.  Oh well, I used a FCC.  Thanks for validating what I thought.

What is a FCC ? thanks

We did too - for the March 10th sailing.  Was able to get a WS too.  Am so excited.

 

Pooh

What's a WS?

So with only $1 deposit, what is the catch? Are you comitted to the booking  in any way if you cancel it ...or can you cancel and all you will lose is the dollar? All new to me?  CAn you add insurance after you book?

No, you'll each just get one for your entire voyage.

Yes , that is correct. You will use the same medallion for both legs.

However , because you are in the USA you have to disembark in Ft Lauderdale and embark again.  (USA LAW)

This procedure takes as long as  it takes the slowest person /group  to arrive at your  meeting spot,

we met in the MDR. (This was a first for us doing a b/b.  It took us about 3 hours.)
