Oceania 7 day cruises ???

[VIRGINIA ARTIE]

With the bad economy, there was an article in the New York Times stating cruise lines are thinking about more 7 day cruises. I would love a 7 day Caribbean cruise on Oceania. Does anyone think it will ever happen?

I hope not!! :eek:

 

It could happen...who knows

 

You might try RSSC

I find that cruises of 7 days or less tend to be party cruises and are not what Oceania is all about. I would not take one. We took a 7 day cruise out of desperation to get out of our weather a few years ago, never again, I would rather be miserable at home. Nasty crowd of rude drunks. Even 10 day cruises are questionable. Maybe that sounds snobbish, but that is not what we cruise for.

Although I prefer Oceania 10-14 day cruises, we've been on 7 days Princess and Celebrity cruises, and certainly did not find them to be party cruises full of rude drunks.

Yep, it sounds snobbish.

 

I've done many 7 day cruises full of interesting, sober people. I've met many rude drunks on 10 or 12 day cruises.

We have sailed on Regent Seven Seas 7 day cruises every year for the last 5 years. Even with their all inclusive alcohol program, we have never run into any drunks. We don't drink, so I was looking for other options, capecodder 2.

I value the opinions on this board and have learned a lot from them.

I think it depends on the cruise line

We did an NCL cruise it was the the worse :eek:

Princess we did not see many rowdy people ...there were a few

Carnival ..well again ..we were younger & there were more party people.

 

Now we have matured Oceania is more subdued,

If there were drunks they were quiet ones. ;)

We're booked on the Miami to the Amazon round trip - 25 days - but really think its too long. I wish we could buy half of that cruise, either Miami-Manaus or the reverse. Oceania could sell the halfs with a charter flight from Miami and I bet they'd improve the saleability of this long cruise while making a little money on the air part. On the other hand, the larger suites are nearly sold out on this long cruise, so they must be getting a lot of interest. I'd like it a lot better if we had a choice. We might still do the round trip in that case, just it's a bad time to be away that long, right between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
