Yes, a flight arranged by Oceania. We do normally opt to travel the day before but as this was a 35 day cruise & we have to arrange house sitters we felt it was a long time in itself and stuck with the same day flight. We were also under the impression that if you took the cruise/fly option it was their responsibility to get you there for the cruise.
we do have travel insurance which in itself was a fortune for a long duration, expensive cruise. We are yet to contact them as home today & exhausted.
We are in contact with Oceania who I must say so far have been excellent, we are just waiting to hear further about a resolution as we have booked flights for the 2nd part of the cruise from Rome. (At our expense, as it was a back to back cruise)
