I don't mind too much, and browse many of them. 😆 Yes, don't mind them. However, I have never received more than a couple a week. The latest on Northern Europe was very interesting to me as there were a couple of cruises if I had not already booked something for next summer I would have jumped on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B. said: I am amazed at the Plethora of Mailings I get from O !😜 Many are for the same cruises and all for the same prices as they "Never have Sales" although I did take advantage of a Category Upgrade they offered a while back. Maybe the head marketing person owns a publishing or glossy paper company? a plethora? Three Amigos - What Is A Plethora? - Bing video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride-The-Waves Posted August 12, 2022 Author #28 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Another two today even after emploring them to stop. This must be expensive... It also is an indicator of how well Oceania listens to passengers...or doesn't listen them. Obviously, corporate doesn't care... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob brown Posted August 13, 2022 #30 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Reading all these posts about them not complying with requests to get off the mailing lists, leads me to speculate that it is a "third party" entity that 'O' pays to distribute them...perhaps they get paid by how large their 'circulation' is, hence their reluctance to remove names from the list...just a guess, not sure...🤷♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob brown Posted August 13, 2022 #31 Share Posted August 13, 2022 To add to my speculation, I am also guessing that these entities will also add your name to other mailing lists that they consider 'relevant'. When I started getting 'O' brochures, a short time later I also received Viking and other travel related brochures, even though I never requested them. It is no secret that companies 'sell' your address. Once you order anything by mail....look out!😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted August 13, 2022 #32 Share Posted August 13, 2022 also check if your TA's name is on the back of the brochure near the mailing label 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PaulMCO Posted August 13, 2022 #33 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) We have not seen a brochure from Oceania in well over a year. Yes we do not have many O cruises booked in future (only one). However the Regent printing press is going full steam with several each week.

Same with us....haven't seen an O brochure either but Regent and Viking (which we have never sailed) keep the recycle bin full! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoverian Posted August 17, 2022 #35 Share Posted August 17, 2022 We received a massive, 236 page, compendium from Regent the other day. We have never sailed on Regent but did cancel a cruise with them early in the pandemic, which I guess gave Regent a foot in the door. We are booked through 2023 on Oceania and Silversea, so I guess that the Regent publication becomes a door stop or something. What a waste of trees.
