ORV replied to Hlitner's topic in Oceania Cruises
As with many people I’ve noticed it’s not so much about actually having a question but more about thinking they’re showing just how erudite they are by asking one in the first place. When in truth they’re anything but. The world is full of insufferable people. And some nice ones. -
Spotty internet, hard to reply. Let’s just say Oceania is not for everyone. There are some issues, but I don’t think it’s as bad as what’s being made out. If you need to be entertained then Oceania is not for you. If you are ok with your own company then you’ll be fine. But it’s obvious the product is not what it was 5 years ago. BUT, the sameness of the daily activities is pretty much what it’s been for the past 15 years. If that is an issue then you would never have liked it. This is not Celebrity, Princess, Hal, Royal or NCL. It’s low key, yes the demographic skews older, but there is a mix. Things are getting better as the cruise progresses.

There are certain things that are part of cruising, noise and vibration while docking are part of it. Not sure how you would get around it if you want to be on a ship.

What was this thread about? Maybe the OP was mad because Oceania doesn’t have Red Stripe. They do have a couple of other bland beers. I'm currently on Regatta and I’m not surprised at this post. If this were my first Oceania cruise I’d also ask what the fuss has been about. Seems many of the main staff are new to Oceania and it’s not really the regular product. There are a few long timers aboard. (Workers, age of the guests is another matter). This is our CD’s first cruise as main CD. He does seem to be a nice young man. He’s also one of the singers. I could post a lot about this cruise but I hate to type with one finger on a phone. This is only the third day. We’ll see how it goes. But, I sure wouldn’t buy one of these beds, and I’ve always thought the beds are great. Makes me wonder if they’re not changing them out as often. I also hate to complain, so I’ll try not to.

I really wouldn’t put any stock in what you read on the book of misinformation. It’s enough to make your head explode.

Your questions would be better on their own thread instead of this live from thread. -
Was this an Oceania cruise?

I’m pretty sure this has always been an option. -
That’s interesting. For some people that subject had been a theme for awhile. It’s not new.

We’ve always been able to get the Big O Martini on the Happy Hour 2-4-1. I’d hate to see that changed.

Jan, do you know Robin or are you going to have to break a new one in?
-
Did they mention who is taking over for him?
-
I believe they are looking at the Sirena

You might do a little more research on Oceania before you book this. On first glance I'm not sure it would be a good fit for your multigenerational trip.

NO, it's a secret.

Remind me not to stand downwind of you.

Oceania does not refund port taxes for skipped ports
ORV replied to Sdancer's topic in Oceania Cruises
As AK mentioned above, there are many people on this forum that claim exactly that.
