jorich Posted February 19, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Just back from Marina cruise 4th -16th Feb Caribbean Pearls. We made friends with a great couple from British Columbia called Tim & Donna who had just retired from their industrial piping business. We made plans to swap emails & try to meet up when we go to Canada in October & then on the last day we just never got round to doing it & when we remembered it was too late! Did anyone else meet them & can help us with contact details please ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRWeezer Posted February 19, 2012 #2 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Just back from Marina cruise 4th -16th Feb Caribbean Pearls. We made friends with a great couple from British Columbia called Tim & Donna who had just retired from their industrial piping business. We made plans to swap emails & try to meet up when we go to Canada in October & then on the last day we just never got round to doing it & when we remembered it was too late! Did anyone else meet them & can help us with contact details please ? Not sure if Oceania would do this, but I have heard of people having success (on other lines) by emailing the cruise line, providing as much detail as possible, and asking them to reach out to the passengers on your behalf to provide your contact details. Then it would be up to Tim & Donna to respond to you directly. In terms of details, I would think of anything that would help Oceania narrow down the field, for example their hometown, stateroom # or deck level, an excursion they took, were they part of a larger group on the trip, had O arranged their travel & do you recall their airline or pre/post cruise hotel names, or even a reservation they had at a specialty restaurant on a specific night...etc. etc. The way I see it, it can't hurt to contact Oceania if you don't find success here. Of course as I said, approach it that you're asking them to play middle man for you, not that you're asking them to provide passenger information directly to you, which one would guess they would not. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted February 19, 2012 #3 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I wonder if they were part of the ROLL CALL on CC? Maybe you could ask there as well some people do check in there once they return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorich Posted February 20, 2012 Author #4 Share Posted February 20, 2012 PRWeezer & LHT28, thank you both for your suggestions. I had thought of emailing O to ask them to pass our details on (wouldn't expect them to breach confidentiality by divulging details to us) but hadn't thought of some of your good ideas such as speciality restaurant bookings - will now rack my brains for dates! The stupidest thing is that we know all about their kids, grandkids etc but never mentioned (or can't recall) surnames. I will let you know if I have success.
