We need some kind of united effort. When booking an itinerary, how do we hold O accountable to deliver what they have sold barring any real, unforseen circumstances? If port hours are changed after final pay, if they are changed after sailing, if ports are cancelled but other lines have no issues being there, I will protest loudly, verbally and in writing, demanding compensation. I encourage everyone to do the same. I can hear some of you saying, "good luck with that". Staying silent, negates your right to complain here or anywhere else.

completely agree with you...so well said.... what action can we take to make our voices heard above those who believe that ports should be cut and cancelled in the name of "sustainability"? folks that are champions of "sustainability" should not be sailing to support their beliefs, to do otherwise is hypocritical. if O truly believes in "sustainability" they should then be up front and post shortened port stays when releasing itins, not advertise the long hours and then switch.... its the dishonesty about the reasons for the cuts that is troublesome..... there are unavoidable changes, we all understand that, we are not discussing that... but O is being called out here for being the number one line for most cancelled and shortened ports. It is unacceptable.

Suspicious and concerned. O now being our line of choice. A consumer is now faced with bait and switch. Itineraries are only possibilities and can't be trusted . So what can we do other than switch lines. Make our displeasure known more loudly, in every way possible. As for any here who are into saving the planet by applauding Os actions, make it more than just about words, go live in a cave.

We have been everywhere we want to go and some places several times. We eat very little at home or out and love good food on a ship, totally opposite the poster above. Now we are into a calmer atmosphere, good food, activities that encourage meeting others. O gives us that and more. And we have to be willing to pay for it. Now we are also paying for those that enjoy wine with meals, not ideal for us.

We have done 2 azamara, for us the food on A does not compare to O, not even close. So we will pay the big bucks but cruise less in 2025.

I understand and many are feeling just like that. If food didn't matter quite as much to us, we would also be questioning the high prices. We have chosen to do less cruises instead. Won't reach the large loyalty markers quite that soon, if ever.

thank you for posting this...

we did this itin in 2018 on Celebs Infinity.....all pacific coastal ports were good at that time...... Celeb not so much...one of our last Celeb cruises... now it would be the opposite....Oceania is great....

LA as an end point is ok, as we would fly home from there, not intending to stay over. We like the itin we booked and hope things in panama only improve, drought issues, large charges for ships to cross, etc. It is in Dec, a prime time to be doing the canal. We also managed to snag a french balcony and use an FCC, so can have one cancellation in case things dont work out.

and please do not assume I am panicking...there is a difference between gathering info and panicking...

glad nothing changed for you.... love that the start point for us is MIA...not SFO, just been to SFO, will not book an itin with it...not a great city anymore, JMO.

and you were lucky that he did...as we were as well....

now some lines are cancelling their panama itineraries....cost for lines have risen sharply, RCI has fully refunded their panama canal itins.

no way would I be interested in Mexico... will have to watch and see what happens... we used an FCC so no penalty for one cancellation.... thank you Tom...

does anyone have this itinerary in their future? has O changed your itinerary? to what?

booked a panama canal for dec of 2025, will have to be careful if they change the itin since canal is very dry...dont want them to do more of mexico or more of pacific coast... will see what they are doing about canal this year.... anyone have their itin change? to what? maybe will post it as a new topic....

You will have plenty of opportunity, Oceania seems to love it too.

we were very disappointed in our cabin...booked inside guarantee, got Oceanview, but on deck 3..noisy area..constant hum from equipment storage... but others love this area of the ship... we called it the "dungeon"... will not book a guarantee again... it didnt help since we went from the 7th concierge on the firs leg of the cruise.. if you are not picky the way I am..it will be ok...

You could instead say you love to sail in and out of Seattle. Instead of being unable to handle my comment and becoming rude.

Not up to the physician in Canada. Against the law to do so.

Nope not in Canada. We are always behind.

In Canada you can't get a script for Pax without having proof of covid. Your doctor will give you a script ?

Yes agreed. What we paid at opening price is far less that this latest promo. Again 199pp for premium air, at opening price, now outrageous.

Again, nope to Seattle Washington and nope to anything in Oregon. Have no idea why O would have itineraries for Alaska sailing out of and into Seattle. Yup Seattle used to be wonderful. Have good memories of it but no more.

Yes called and have an O rep that will book one for us. Thanks Jan.
