A direct flight is not nonstop if that is what you were thinking
Usually it stops someplace but no need to change planes
Is there a non stop flight from Stockholm to YYZ?
We have always had a connection when coming from ARN
We have been invited to dine with the Captain on Oceania so I guess it still happens
this was pre covid
Plus invited to dine with other officers ..concierge etc..
Sometimes it is not all across the board increase
if worried book now then see what the price is Monday you can always calcel if the price does not go up & wait until you are onboard

just a heads up the cruise is now sailing from Portsmouth & not Southampton
Usually mid to late Sept they have sailing from the US or Vancouver Canada
Then starting in Jan to Apr then Sep to Dec from California ports for R/T cruises
Sept to Oct for Vancouver sailings maybe April they are usually one way or may return to the USA
if you can travel in those time frames
You probably would have been dealing with the same issue if you booked your own
Travelling right now & maybe the rest of the year may still have flight issues world wide

Have you tried dealing with KLM since they cancelled the flight?
It seems most airlines are experiencing crew shortages
Just got an email from Air Canada they are cutting flights over the next several months to deal with staff shortages not only with their crew but with airport staff in many places
I would talk to KLM staff at the gate & explain about your son maybe they will get him a seat with more legroom at the least
If you do not use the included air then they give you a discount in your case $1200 pp
The amount will vary by cruise
They do not tell you that if you do not use the air you get a lower price 😉
Another one of O's little insider secrets 😄
Enjoy the cruise
