caroak Posted January 17, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I was wondering when we can expect the Summer 2014 cruises to be announced. We're interested in a Baltic cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fjdelrio Posted January 18, 2013 #6 Share Posted January 18, 2013 As you may know, I personally develop all itineraries. And I have to tell you that while the world doesn't change much from year to year (at least in terms of new destinations capable of hosting discerning travelers), our 2014 Europe itineraries are the best ever with more variety, differing lengths (7,10,12,14,16 and 20 nights) and new port combinations not seen before. Greater emphasis on Adriatic ports along the Dalmatian Coast, including what I refer to as the "home run" in a single itinerary -Croatia, Montenegro, Slovenia and Albania with either the embark or debark port being Venice. More sailings in northern Europe to Scandinavia, Russia, Norway and her fjords, Greenland and Iceland, The British Isles and along France's Bay of Biscay. More Italy. More Spain. More South of France. Less Athens. No Egypt. No Morocco. Hope you like them. FDR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Caroldoll Posted January 18, 2013 #7 Share Posted January 18, 2013 to Oceania exclusively. You DO develop interesting itineraries, in my opinion, but you are last to publish them! We are EXTREMELY ANXIOUS for some itineraries, some in Europe and Christmas, for sure. HOPE IT IS SOON! Your ships are lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Adriatic itineraries would be welcome (one year we had to take Azamara as they had a perfect Adriatic itinerary and Oceania did not :mad:) Now - how about that West Africa itinerary? :D Do you really want me to take that Silversea cruise? I would much rather do it with Oceania :) PS The Iberico de Bellota pork was fantastic - the best pork I ever had! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Caroldoll Posted January 18, 2013 #9 Share Posted January 18, 2013 This "middle of February" may be a huge problem (not your fault) but we will be at the Ritz Carlton in Ft. Lauderdale from February 17 until we go on the Riviera on the Mayan Mystique on February 22. Since we only want the OS and have cancelled three Crystal cruises for 2014..we HOPE we will not miss the opportunity to get one of these at least for the Christmas cruise. We have others we want to book too. Not complaining, just worrying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TERRIER1 Posted January 19, 2013 #16 Share Posted January 19, 2013 We are looking forward to seeing the new itineraries. We loved our Barcelona to Copenhagen on the Riviera in 2012 along the French and Spanish coasts and would love to do the trip again. The small ports and Basque country was delightful. I personally am glad that Casablanca has been taken off as a destination. Thanks so much for listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no fuss travel Posted January 19, 2013 #18 Share Posted January 19, 2013 FDR Will you be sending all the information to all your cruise ships in February? I will be aboard the Marina at that time and the Dalmation coast is one cruise both my spouse and I want to do. That will cross another item off our bucket list. Thank you.

The Oceania Ambassadors aboard are in live contact with the home office. Visit one of them early in the cruise and let them know you are interested in the new itineraries and would like to review them as soon as possible when they are released. My guess is they will have a little advance information (not able to book yet, just look) which would give you an opportunity to make decisions. Then, once you choose, ask the Ambassodor to book you as early as possible to get your choice of cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Caroldoll Posted January 20, 2013 #21 Share Posted January 20, 2013 well, but as you know, they don't print very large. I will have access to a computer in Florida and once I am on the ship, all will be well. It is just that I only want one of three suites. I see someone is holding three Crystals. I was, but after our last trip the smoke was so heavy in the atrium area I decided to just take a chance of getting what I want on O--either the Marina or the Riviera. I am just impatient!

Agree about the smoking on Crystal! One reason to try Oceania. We will be doing our first Oceania cruise on Regatta, June 4th. Great Alaska itinerary ! We are also booked on Marina May 2014 New York to London. So can not wait for the rest of the schedule to come out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyQuinn Posted January 20, 2013 #24 Share Posted January 20, 2013 The Iberico de Bellota pork was fantastic - the best pork I ever had!Hi Paulchili. Did you have the Iberico de Bellota in Jacques or Polo? I had the rotisserie version in Jacques and it was among the very few items on Riviera that disappointed me, so I didn't try it in Polo. But I loved the cured version on the deli in Terrace Cafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the rotisserie version in Jacques and it was among the very few items on Riviera that disappointed me, so I didn't try it in Polo. But I loved the cured version on the deli in Terrace Cafe. Interesting. IIRC, I liked the Jacques' version better than the Polo's (though there was nothing wrong with that one either). But these things can vary slightly. For example, on the last two cruises, my ribeye in Polo on Nautica was one of the best ever; the one I had in Polo on the Marina was just OK. Maybe give it another try :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
