Our “Gold Book” Is Here

Gulf Waters RV Resort — Port Aransas, Texas

Gold BookOur Oceania Vacation Planner came in the mail today … one for each of us.  The books were shipped to our mail service in Pensacola, so I’m not sure when Oceania sent them out, but we have them now.

It’s a booklet that includes all kinds of information … our guest registration forms; a welcome letter from the head honcho at O; the map of our itinerary and a list of the ports; a booking summary; details of our hotel package and transfers; available land programs and shore excursions; shipboard experience, with a customized deck plan showing the location of our cabin and the amenities that come with our cabin class; the ticket contract; and more.

All that’s fine and dandy, and it’s fun to browse through the information, but the books will be left behind when we leave for our trip … we don’t need the weight in our luggage.  Besides, we will get an e-version of the important information about three weeks prior to departure.

What’s really important about the package we received … the luggage tags tucked inside.  They are silver in color this time … which, as I understand it, signifies that we are in a concierge cabin.

I think I’ll stop writing, curl up on the sofa, and take a gander at the shore excursions … might get some ideas for the few ports for which I still have no plans.
