We were on the Oceania Regatta this May to Alaska. Four of the five ports we were the only ship in yet we dock the in the last berth, the fifth next to last.

The CD told us the port assigns the berth, the private tour guides said its always the least costly.

Just tried to view my reservation for our Nov 4 Panama Canal sailing received the following message AGENCY DATA NOT FOUND FOR THIS COUNTRY.

Has anyone else had this problem.

If this was the only "takeaway", it probably wouldn't be such a big deal. Let's face it. If I am spending $5,000 - 6,000 on a cruise, $100 - $150 isn't much. But take $150 from the OBC, add the 3% fee to get money in the casino TO USE FOR GAMBLING, charges for shuttles into ports and all the other things that have either gone up or cost now but used to be free and you have several hundred dollars of new expense.

 

But the vast majority of stockholders don't cruise (or have such relatively small amounts of stock) that the promise of increased profits will carry more weight than our displeasure. Only by demonstrated losses that can be shown to be because of the change can we hope to get it back. I doubt if there is a lot of fear that I will vote my 100 shares against all the board of directors when one institution that owns 50,000 likes the move.

 

I mentioned in my e-mail to RCL that I am far more willing now to consider another cruise line than I have ever been in the past. It wasn't a threat to leave, just that I might try someone else. And if I do, there's $5,000 they'll never see, even if I do come back.

What is the correct fax number to send a request?

We were in cabin 1141 last May for b2b cruises and had no problem with smoke. Really enjoyed the balcony and was a fast trip to the bar for drinks.

We were in SV1234 last October for 15 days and no noise from the ocean view bar.
