Can always go a year from now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunlover12 Posted March 14, 2020 #78 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I would be very skeptical of their "St. Patrick's Day Sale". I fell for the President's Day Sale and realized later it was false advertising. There was no free O Life Choice and the 4 category upgrade was very limited. I wouldn't book anything now anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Kiddo......guess again. In the words of Rahm Emenuael (sp) " Never let a tragedy go to waste" I had my agent check on a cruise I booked for end of September... in a B#3 and was able to get a PH#3 for $400! more !!!!! So amigos, there are real deals to be had. It is real and they are dealing. Edited March 14, 2020 by Hawaiidan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJP31 Posted March 14, 2020 #83 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I’m in the UK and booked on the Regatta 15th June Seattle-Seattle. Our first cruise, 3 years in the planning and celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. 2021’s schedule doesn’t work for us, so 2022 maybe. Paid the final balance and already chosen and paid for the excursions. Nothing on the O website apart from 100% refund credit, which isn’t really a refund. Booked via Trailfinders so I’ll see what they say, wouldn’t have thought O have option but to cancel but I’m a newbie at this and some of the posts worry me... What a global nightmare and disaster for everyone - especially those whose livelihoods depends on the tourist. I had wondered if they could skip the Canadian stop. Didn’t know about the foreign flag / foreign country rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not know that you were smarter than the CDC and the State Dept. and all the other experts that say that we should not cruise until this is over. Too bad that you are the only one who thinks so. Good luck and hope you do not get sick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I now know... and that must be the nail in the coffin. I’m a little surprised there’s nothing on the O website, early days perhaps but reading some of the comments here haven’t filled me with confidence on O’s customer relations.

They didn't cause the virus but they surely have their hands full with trying to deal with it.....I think they know their priority!

I’m fine, I feel more for the locals, I’ve just come back from Tenerife and the economy there has been devastated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as the last passenger left the ship sailed off... We on the Marina had to ferry these hunderds to Tahiti where one by one they were allowed to go on the ship and get their luggage. Regent had about 40 empty cabins and offered then at a super discount back to LA. Hundreds were left to fend for them selves. It took weeks to get home I was told.............

Zesty Italian Posted March 15, 2020 #96 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Paul mentioned early on that there is a 90 day wait for refunds which is far longer than people from the cancelled Asia cruises. I also noticed they were given full refund and 25 % FCC while we have different offer. Plus I didn't see any mention about airfare. Does anyone know if airfare or changes are being compensated? Why the different treatment of O's passengers depending on where we were going? Our cruises were all cancelled for the same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
