I wanted to update everyone on a few things. Initially my travel agent refunded me the cost of the cruise. However, we had an agreement that if he could get Oceania to issue us FCCs that I would return the money to the agency. On November 6th, Oceania issued us FCCs. So Oceania is caving in some instances.
Also, a funny side note, the couples featured in the USA Today article received full refunds, but at least one of the couples has been banned for life by NCL corporate. We laughed that it was a badge of pride.
Bottom line...keep pushing for FCCs. Travel agents are having better luck than individuals, and it has usually taken the President/CEO of the agency to make the request and get a resolution.
