Unless the OCA can get it early and give cruisers a printed copy, most will never have the internet access to view it until after we disembark. 11/3 is a sea day meaning even submitting a cruise survey is difficult. 600+ people online browsing new cruise itineraries: forget about it! 😂 Edited October 15, 2022 by pinotlover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, some TA were able to distribute the PDF file with new itineraries to their clients. Maybe this will help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the day the itineraries come out for viewing, or the first day they are open for booking? I’ve been on the ships before when the itineraries were released for viewing. With The ship’s wifi, a download of a large pdf was never possible. Even getting online was nearly impossible.

jonthomas Posted October 20, 2022 Author #18 Share Posted October 20, 2022 So Black Friday is on Nov 24. Does anyone remember what O usually does for Black Friday and is it worth waiting to book then. We will be on the ship from Nov 19 to Dec 4. Yes can book now using the 30 day rule but maybe waiting for Black Friday is the way to go. I do want to book a couple for the rest of 24 and a couple for 2025. Ever the optimist.

jonthomas Posted October 20, 2022 Author #19 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I looked up the Black Friday sale of last year. It is where they give you a 4 CAT upgrade but it applies to very few cruises. Probably the ones they cant sell. We are interested in an Alaska cruise for Sept of 2023, all is available but what are the chances it would be on the sale. Probably none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonthomas Posted October 21, 2022 Author #20 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) Decided not to wait for Black Friday. Will go ahead and book our Alaska cruise now. I also think Black Friday sale will NOT apply to the new itins being released in Nov. So as soon as they appear, if I see something I like, I will book it.

Rare pinotlover Posted October 23, 2022 #25 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Yesterday we had the OCA cruise reviews and sales pitch for currently offered cruises. The new preview will be available on 10/26, and we’ll get another pitch for them next leg. She was rather matter-of-fact about the entire thing. She said “you have all probably seen our 2025 ATW and Grand Voyages for that period for all the ships. The new release will just be those segmented. “. Doesn’t take a lot of Oceania experience to guess where the Embarkment ports will be for those segments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
