Once by Covid, once due to our own illness and once because we were not satisfied with the fact tht the 15 day cruise went from 5 sea days to 8 at the least minute. This trip was supposedly finalized for the past year. Now two days before departure Oceania changes the itinerary once again meaning no stop in Nicaragua and additional sea days. Do these people know what they're doing? Never had so much misinformation given when traveling on Viking, Gate 1, NCL or Royal Caribbean. At this point I just want to get this mess over with. I don't cruise just to sit around all day stuffing myself on the boat. I want to see the World, not the oceans. BTW - we never received anything from Oceania in the mail. No documents, no bag tags, no swag. Not even ads. This food better be something special because I'm not all impressed. Not sure why you've not gotten brochures & such. Do you have a TA. Sometimes the items may get shipped to them.Considereing the lines you've been on RCCL & NCL Never heard of "Gate 1" Even Viking, the food should be better than those lines. Viking comes pretty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking comes pretty close. Gate 1 I believe for the most part is a land tour company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are but they also have river cruises. You can do a combination of river cruise and land tour. We did land tours with them twice. Not luxury, but very decent. Good guides, decent hotels etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But blaming the cruise line for trying to screw you is easier, isn't it? Everyone seems to know better than the captain about weather, terror, political risks etc. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
