annie5564 Posted October 10, 2010 #1 Share Posted October 10, 2010 My husband and I really enjoyed this trip to Itayl, Greece,Spain, Croatia. We found the guide on our tour to Pompeii was excellent, spoke very good English and was extremely knowledgable. Thoroughly enjoyed Majorca, we took a taxi with another couple and the young driver took us to some places not usually on the ships tours. The place was very, very clean we were out for 4 hours, he charged us 20 Euro each. The ship is extremely nice, enjoyed High Tea every afternoon, felt like being at the Ritz in London. Our conciege was very helpful as the airline had lost our luggage (for 6 days), she managed at last to trace it and have it delivered to us on ship. Oceania were very good to us too they were laundering and ironing our few clothes every night for the days the luggage was missing and also gave us $100.00. Also liked the open dining as we were able to meet some extremely nice people from various countries. We are travelling with Oceania again to the Panama Canal in February and greatly looking forward to it.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druke I Posted October 10, 2010 #2 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Glad it worked out well for you. I note you are a first time poster - Welcome Aboard. (Sometimes 1st time posters are extremely negative about their experience, rant and vent, never to be seen again.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandandsea lovers Posted October 14, 2010 #4 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Annie, we are looking at doing the Greek islands and researching which cruise ship we should go on. Any recommendations after your experience? Would a smaller ship get into quieter ports? I have heard the ports where the bigger ships go are extremely busy.

Not Annie but Sometimes with Oceania you are the only ship in port. The smaller ships sometimes will get into ports that the larger ships cannot or you have to tender from the larger ships where the smaller ships will dock. This is also a consideration when choosing an itinerary. Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mura Posted October 15, 2010 #8 Share Posted October 15, 2010 SandandSea, you ARE at an Oceania fan club so you can probably figure we won't discourage you from using Oceania!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted October 15, 2010 #9 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Sandandsea, You might also want to talk with a knowledgeable TA to discuss your preferences in a cruise line and seek advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
