pacheco18 Posted September 17, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 17, 2013 that booking opens tomorrow and the itineraries are not yet on Oceania's website. I was looking for time in port for my 2015 cruise Oddly, I found the itineraries posted on a deep deep discount website (with errors) an Australian website (stating different times in port from those on the discount website) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ORV Posted September 17, 2013 #8 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I got a flyer a day or so ago with them, but it didn't have port time specifics. It barely had port specifics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpkid Posted September 17, 2013 #9 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I got a flyer a day or so ago with them, but it didn't have port time specifics. It barely had port specifics. Just got ours as well. A far cry from their typical "coffee table" quality brochures... but I'm just happy to see the itinerary we want (Sydney to Auckland in Feb 2015 on Marina). So happy to see this trip on that ship - we just love the O class ships and find the R class staterooms a tad too "cozy" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PaulMCO Posted September 17, 2013 #10 Share Posted September 17, 2013 We wait too. Brochure said 0830h tomorrow.. Did not find much of interest. Same old ports and itins.

You are well traveled, making it difficult to find something new and different. Azamara's itineraries come out Mid OCtober. Maybe you will find something there They do have some unique itineraries I am hoping to book a b2b to some exotic destination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a South Pacific -- Papeete to Auckland == we love Australia and New Zealand and it has been 10+ years since I and Mindy have been there.

All sounds good Just came back from Istanbul and would go back tomorrow I just love it there. And I'd love to return to Bangkok -- I was there only once and it was too little time. Burma too -- I just looked at that cruise and it is a great itinerary. For South Pacific -- consider the Paul Gauguin -- nothing like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindrift Posted September 17, 2013 #14 Share Posted September 17, 2013 My TA gave me the itinerary, but I haven't yet received a brochure which included it. How long ago did you receive the brochure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare RachelG Posted September 17, 2013 #17 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Received a small brochure yesterday, but it had very little detail other than the dates and lengths of the cruises. It actually was so small that you could easily miss it. Not like the magazine like brochures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKS Posted September 17, 2013 #21 Share Posted September 17, 2013 We also received the brochure yesterday, but it did not include the day by day itinerary, just the list of the ports to be visited. The only exception is some of the ports did indicate an overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted September 17, 2013 #22 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Very skimpy. need more info. The T/A on April 1st might work if we can hook it up with the next cruise. Probably won't know for a few months when the next book comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimandStan Posted September 18, 2013 #23 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I've waited more than twenty posts for someone to state the obvious, but since none of you will: It seems to me that you may EITHER have access to the Itineraries two years in advance, OR wait until every particular has been ironed out. A great deal can happen in two years, and people are generally more discommoded by having to change plans once they are made than they are by having to wait to make them. One need only witness the uproar over any minuscule changes which the passing of time might make necessary to know that this is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny -- I did not see that coming Is anyone complaining on this thread? I think you may be reading something into the posts that isn't there. As the OP my only point was that I surprised not to see the full itineraries posted BEFORE the booking date (I would have assumed O would want to get folks salivating so they could make the call at the first possible moment -- as was done for the World Cruise).

Rare LHT28 Posted September 18, 2013 #25 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I do not see the problem The advance brochure seemed to be for TA's to pass onto their clients & past guests of O to get first crack at them You see the Itineraries ...if you like them book it first thing on opening day, full itineraries are on the website now You can book tomorrow and if you do not like what you see for the port times then cancel later in the day I believe you have 7 days to make the deposit (could be wrong ) in any case the only thing you lose is the time spent deciding on what cruise to book JMO Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
