Changed Itineraries? Catalog or online correct?

[GeezerCouple]

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.

Which sailings are you seeing have changed? 2015? Which dates? Thanks!

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:

How did you find the other roll calls?

 

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.

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

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

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.

Very impressed with your response on a holiday. 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. :):)

[GeorgesGal]

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!

Thanks VERY much!

 

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!

You can go to USER CP (top left) then scrolldown EDIT OPTIONS then to page defaults change to the number of days you want to see threads it will change all those ones you watch

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!
