2022 itineraries ?

[PirateShark]

I can't wait for the 2022 itineraries to come out.  With my retirement (finally!) and our 40th anniversary, I have a nice budget to work with this time 😉  We are ready for a nice long cruise instead of just 10 days.

Came in today’s mail.

 

Biggest addition: It appears they are going to Antarctica or a tip thereof.

 

Biggest disappointment for me: still only doing 10 day voyages in Japan. Running three identical 10 day cruises . The new ports north of Tokyo are only available on a 30+ day cruise from SF. 😢 Will need a different line for Japan. May have to just do a total land tour and skip the cruise ship altogether. Tauck does have a good option.

 

Running several Carribe cruises to Bridgeport. Fewer round trips to/ from Miami. This allows for more new port visits without having to return to Miami.

[pinotlover]

Also something else new but not well explained. It appears on certain European cruises, if one takes what’s called O’Life Choice Airfare, free ship transfers to and from the ship will be included. It appears to be referring to the Premium Economy upgrade.

 

All currently in the fine print. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Does anyone have the pdf link with the new itineraries?

Lots of people do at this point, but your question is awkward for us because the "early look" Itineraries come with a specific request not to share them.

Get thee to a good Travel Agent.  🤫

Historically someone usually posts them here.  Just thought I'd ask.  Didn't realize this was an awkward ask.  I'll wait then, no big deal.

Hi!

 We are Diamond Members and still have not received the new itineraries. Would love to see them in advance of our Riviera cruise next week.

So, what's not to share. Fares are un-bookable until a later date.

 

I thought this board was to be helpful. So, share!

I totally agree with you! I was thinking that earlier when I was told to get a good travel agent.....really?! It’s just a pdf, what’s the big secret? Geez, chill out. 
 

[pinotlover]

Don’t have a pdf only the brochure. If you’re interested In the material, call your TA!!

 

Amazing all the people that refuse to utilize the services of their Travel Agent!

What you are not realizing, and perhaps this is a function of your not believing that you need a Travel Agent, is that Top Agents work hard to  get those future schedules early as a reward for their loyalty to Oceania, and their booking performance. 

 

Early access is valued because it  gives that Agents preferred clients a chance to decide what they want earlier on so that when booking day arrives,  buying exactly what they want is a breeze.

Exclusivity is a key part of that advantage.

 

The PDF's come pre-labeled with prohibitions against their being shared publicly.

 

Agents won't copy them here because it is bad business.  

Clients who copy them onto a public Site would be violating a trust.

 

Therefore, I suggested that using a good  Agent would get you onto their distribution list.

 

Is that chill enough for you?

Then why do we even bother coming to CC? Just go to your TA get all of your questions answered there. This board is ridiculous at times. We all post here to share.

Different perspectives, tips on things not known, pictures of changes to the ships, food porn...

Sharing what is yours, such as advice, opinions, ratings or even feelings is fine.

 

Sharing information which has been given in confidence is wrong, whatever the forum.

Brochure arrived for us yesterday. Some very nice itineraries by all accounts. 

 

I’m saving myself for the ATW 2023 when it comes out as it’s now looking a possibility, however.

I would agree that a significant number of questions/issues brought here could be more accurately and efficiently answered by one’s TA. Furthermore, speaking of ridiculous, about half the questions brought here could be answered if the OP would just read the FAQ on Oceania’s website and/ or their sales contract!

so  still no PDF file  from TA  as it usually does 

it sounds like the new itineraries come in snail mail form  is that correct  for those that have received them?

We do  not get  any  brochures  from O  & not about to  enter in that nightmare again 

will wait for the new cruise to be posted online

[golfguyhhi]

I have been told (by someone who knows at O) that the new itineraries will be posted on the O site tomorrow (2/21), with booking opening on Wednesday, 2/26.  Plenty of time to review and make plans, and then call your TA.

Calm down.  Deep breaths.

She told me today she doesn't have them yet. Otherwise we would have them.

Our TA sent us the teaser for the 2021-2022 Tropics and Exotics. Several new ports in Asia and cruising by Deception Island and Paradise Island in Antarctica.
