Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. @mlmdaisy----I suggest calling Atlas directly. I think they can give you more up-to-date information than a consultant. If Atlas does not yet have any excursions for that port, try again every couple of weeks.
  2. @mlmdaisy----If excursions for your ports are not listed in the 2024 Mediterranean brochure, you can call Atlas and ask them about it. I called them twice last week about excursions. My calls were answered almost immediately and the rep was very helpful. I was able to book all of the excursions that I wanted. Enjoy your cruise!
  3. My experience with Atlas has been very good. I am booked on a cruise and have called Atlas several times and received immediate help. My questions were answered by friendly and caring people.
  4. I love your Steely Dan references, @Steelydad2021. Very clever! I would love to hear Steely Dan at the pool!
  5. The price is one-half of the amount stated per person. If it is a price that you are happy with, then it is a good deal. I booked on Atlas on a similar promotion. The per day price is excellent, so I booked it. The recent reviews of Atlas that I have read are excellent. I think the cruise will be amazing. The new management team formerly were in charge at Oceania Cruises. I have 15 cruises with Oceania, so I am confident that my Atlas cruise will be wonderful!
  6. As @MEFIowa said, you can have lunch at Waves, located between the pool and the Terrace Cafe. Your mother can sit at at table and you can place your order at the counter. The food is delivered to your table. There are servers to bring you drinks. It is very pleasant to have lunch there.
  7. I received an email from Azamara last week saying that our cruise on Quest that was to disembark in Amsterdam on June 22, 2024, no longer goes to Amsterdam. Instead, it is replaced by Rotterdam on June 21st and disembarks in IJmuiden on June 22nd. IJmudien is farther from Schipol Airport than Amsterdam. Be sure to allow for this change in the disembarkation port.
  8. It is true that OAT's single travelers are mostly women, but there are many husband and wife couples, including my husband and me. We love OAT!
  9. @Sthrngary: I have greatly enjoyed your posts on this topic! I am so happy that you loved your cruise and Oceania. While your posts are very detailed and thorough, they are definitely not "word salad," which is defined as “a jumble of extremely incoherent speech." Your posts are definitely not incoherent. I appreciate the considerable amount of time and thought you put into them. You have provided much useful information for both new and experienced cruisers. Thank you, Gary!
  10. @pinotlover is using the word "one" to refer to an individual, same as using "you." He didn't use "one" as quantity.
  11. Jancruz is correct. Always request a quote before paying a deposit. You can do this with a travel agent or with Oceania directly. You will receive an "option" invoice with the terms, including price, stateroom and cancellation terms. I review this document before deciding to pay the deposit. If I choose to make a deposit, I immediately calendar all cancellation dates and the final payment date.
  12. @no fuss travel I hope you are now onboard the ship. After the terrible start to your trip, I wish you the most wonderful cruise!
  13. We have used Overseas Adventure Travel and they were fabulous! I think all tour groups (or any business) will have some bad reviews. Lots of complaints here when things go wrong on Oceania! It all comes down to doing research and deciding what works for you.
  14. I always take a pair of white pants on cruises. They go with any top I bring. Never a problem with them getting dirty. Plus, there is a laundrette in case you want to wash them. Go with white and have a great cruise!
  15. Go to "find your roll call" in the upper left, below the blue blue band. Select Oceania, then Sirena, and November. Look for the date of your cruise. Bon voyage!
