I don't know if your mother ever warned you about this, but sometimes bad or annoying things can happen without somebody else being at fault.

bubsey Posted June 13, 2013 Author #8 Share Posted June 13, 2013 interesting , mostly useless responses from the message board, I expected more..my feeling is if you are paying about $1000 per night you should expect to be able to sleep, i'm sure it wasn't the first time oceania has visited livornia and should be able to control the situation better then they did, at any rate, thank you for all the nonsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were sleeping inside your stateroom/suite then how did the spewing soot and black smoke from the other ship affect your sleeping? Just curious.......

JPR Posted June 13, 2013 #13 Share Posted June 13, 2013 This is what happens when people are brought up in an "entitlement" and litigious environment. I really feel sorry for people working in customer service industries because they have to deal with people like this on a daily basis. Pathetic.

Rare ronrick1943 Posted June 13, 2013 #14 Share Posted June 13, 2013 This has to be a joke, nobody would expect a refund. As I recall I had air conditioning in by cabin, once you close the outside doors you can't hear or smell a thing form the outside. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ronrick1943 Posted June 13, 2013 #15 Share Posted June 13, 2013 You guy's are to funny!!!!!!!I think we're on a cruise together-May 2014, New York to London, so if you are we have to have a drink.

LaCroisiereS'amuse Posted June 13, 2013 #19 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I'm just heading off to my office just adjacent to one of the runways at Heathrow Airport...I think I shall claim compensation from my employer for all the noise disturbance. Then, with my compensation package I will set sail on an Oceania voyage, making sure I have picked up the odd bug or three, not bother washing my hands as I sneeze everywhere, catch Noro,, and then demand further compensation (and my initial fare back of course!).......
