Rare GeezerCouple Posted May 25, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 25, 2014 The latest catalog we received (or should I say "... that we read carefully enough"?) has some changed itineraries, with a small red banner stating "new itinerary". As an aside, do they ever notify passengers about this, or does one need to "keep watch"? But the ONLINE listing shows the original itinerary. This one should be easier/faster to change than something in a print edition. Which is correct? It's not just an idle question. We usually book private tours, so it matters not only "which day" we are in port, but which ports we are in! Thanks. GeezerCouple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVNYC Posted May 25, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Which sailings are you seeing have changed? 2015? Which dates? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted May 25, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) In the past some seem to get a notice of any changes via their TA Maybe you can ask on your roll call if anyone has heard of any changes if not just call Oceania for the current information There seem to be several roll calls for your cruise :confused: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1931350 http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2033086 one you started http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2013838 Edited May 25, 2014 by LHT28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there *were* others (at least two), but they vanished, as at least one other poster has also noted. So yes, we did already ask about these two different itineraries, but no one responded. Then I realized, as I mentioned, that it wasn't just an idle question, as we would be making tour reservations based upon whatever itinerary we assumed was accurate. But what is troublesome is that the "easier/faster to change" online itinerary is apparently the *old* one, while the printed catalog shows the "new itinerary". Thanks.

Rare GeezerCouple Posted May 25, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Which sailings are you seeing have changed? 2015? Which dates? Thanks! According to the catalog we are reading, there are at least 3, in November and December, 2014. (At least, each of these 3 is labelled as having a "new itinerary".)

They never vanish you can change the default for the number of threads to display go to the bottom of the page where is says DISPLAY OPTIONS then change to what ever time frame you want to look at But what is troublesome is that the "easier/faster to change" online itinerary is apparently the *old* one, while the printed catalog shows the "new itinerary". Thanks. GeezerCouple Where does the NEW itinerary go compared to the old one? Could it possibly be just a new port that Oceania has not been to before? We did a similar cruise in Jan but no Grenada or Martinique on ours Edited May 26, 2014 by LHT28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsommer Posted May 26, 2014 #7 Share Posted May 26, 2014 This is Harry Sommer from Oceania Cruises. I'd love to be able to answer your question. Can you please let me know which specific Ship and Voyage (sailing date) you are looking at. I can then verify the itinerary for you. Also, if you still have the marketing piece in front of you, if you can let me know the title of the marketing piece (i.e. what it is called on the front cover), I can check that as well. Best regards on this Memorial Day. Harry Sommer Chief Marketing Officer Oceania Cruises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always found Oceania quick to take care of and answer all valid questions. One of the reasons that O has become our cruise line of choice. :):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgesGal Posted May 26, 2014 #9 Share Posted May 26, 2014 hsommer, Harry, this is what I LOVE about O - the 'take charge' attitude that seems prevalent in your organization. Looking forward to our next cruise in September! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never noticed (obviously!) that these defaults are different for each topic/thread. I've adjusted that display option, on all of the pages we watch. We aren't the only ones, as others also "couldn't find" older threads, including the others for this particular cruise. (This "problem" was also discussed in the second of the [not!] vanishing threads, before it, too, seemed to disappear.) I've also seen this "problem" discussed on other categories. Thanks, LHT28. We've learned quite a bit from you, and this is yet more, although not nearly as much "fun" as with actual cruising information. Perhaps Cruise Critic, in some future software development, could make that little choice a bit more prominent? More importantly, CruiseCritic.com is an amazing resource, and we are glad we found it as we've begun the major travel portion of our lives!

Travelcat2 Posted May 27, 2014 #12 Share Posted May 27, 2014 hsommer: You are fabulous! I am not surprised to see "you" on Cruise Critic on Memorial Day as I know how dedicated Oceania/Regent management is. Hope you had a great weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
