Cruisedreamer1, we were also on that cruise. A pity we didn’t get a chance to meet. The noise from the construction was unbearable at times. You could not enjoy the pool deck or deck 10. We ended up finding some quiet space on deck 5 under the life boats. Only 10 loungers there. Unfortunately we were only able to use the pool once on day 1.
Just wanted to mention that the $800 compensation we were given was in fact for a FUTURE cruise credit, not onboard credit.
We sure had a mess in Miami with the port being closed and not getting off the ship until 3 pm. Not Oceania’s fault. Can’t do much about weather. We missed our 2 pm flight, rebooked for the next day, had to find a hotel for the night and get food. Cha ching, cha ching.
Sometimes you have to make the best of a bad situation.
Hope everyone got home OK.
