eddmel Posted May 19, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I keep getting junk mail from them wanting me to book a cruise. I guess this is a result of them buying Oceania. They say they can't find me in their system to stop it. The thought of a Norwegian cruise makes me cringe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obvious the mailing lists have been shared for cross-marketing purposes. I doubt it will bear much fruit for either.

orchestrapal Posted May 19, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 19, 2015 We too are getting junk mail from NCL and would never consider cruising with them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njhorseman Posted May 19, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 19, 2015 So? I've been getting junk mail from Oceania and Regent for years...long before the recent merger with NCLH...and have never have cruised with them but I have cruised with NCL. They've been in the same corporate "family" for years as Apollo Management controlled both NCLH and PCH long before the recent merger. When you book something with any of the companies if you read the fine print they're permitted to share marketing information with affiliated companies.

Simply wanted to point out that the cruise line you deplore is OCEANIA not OCEANA. I understand there is actually an Oceana. But Oceania is the one you hate. Teach your grandchildren well.

hypercafe Posted May 20, 2015 #7 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Well I have had good trips on both. Now I get two final sail mags from Oceania almost each day but very little from NCL. Perhaps if FDR cut out all the junk mail he could cut out the 7.95$ room service charge on NCL and give a hot room service breakfast to all on Oceania.

Happy sailing Donna Just trying to poke a little fun, and obviously failing. Thanks for the correction on the name of the line though, I would have made that mistake forever otherwise.

StanandJim Posted May 20, 2015 #10 Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Well I got it, and thought you made the point well (apart from the spelling which I didn't notice :)). Did you also "get" Toranuts's equally pithy response? "Teach your grandchildren well", I wish that I'd said that ........ I chuckled for a full ten minutes. -and by the way, people who call the line Oceana, MAY just be getting us confused with that P&O ship. so it isn't necessarily a spelling correction.

SellaVee Posted May 20, 2015 #11 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Yes, indeed I did get Donna's post - the clue was in the "just kidding!", and the whole post seemed funny to me. I hadn't noticed old sole on here before and wanted to be welcoming. I also thought it was an interesting point of view. I suspect that some of the people calling the line Oceana have probably listened to the way FDR and many of his staff pronounce it :)! There is, I'm sure, truth in what you say - whenever anyone asks me who I'm sailing with I feel I have to make a point of saying "Ocean-ee-a, not the P&O boat". I know more people who sail P&O than Oceania. What a shame they couldn't come up with an original name! SellaVee, putting on her tin hat and running for cover.

StanandJim Posted May 20, 2015 #12 Share Posted May 20, 2015 LOL, I always tell people, including Mr. Del Rio, that Oshee Anna was the Flight Attendant on the TV Series Lost, on which, if you remember, the name of the Airline was curiously familiar...

Earlier today we observed 2 babies and a toddler all in diapers in the pool and jacuzzi. On other cruise lines this is not allowed in the adult pool". You are correct, NCL would not allow this. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
