Ok thanks all. In the meantime United has dropped their prices and added a few legs so that is helpful. I can do an open jaw for more than I want to pay....but better than it was!! Also the cruise line air is actually a bit less expensive but we have to decide if it's worth it to do Icelandic air BC which is actually more like premium econ......Great tips and in the future I hope we can plan much further ahead....it's day to day now!!

Thanks...I've been trying all these things! I will call United tomorrow and see what I can accomplish in person. I can find the flights online but it won't let me purchase. Yes, PDX is not an easy place to fly in and out of. We were trying to avoid having to change airlines and luggage etc coming home. I used to enjoy shopping for air and I was good at it....nowadays...no fun. Last cruise, in March, we had Oceania do our air and it was much less expensive....weird huh?? I will check with them as well. Thanks all!!

Just so weird as I have done one way before....but I know the world has changed. I'll go back to the drawing board and work on the open jaw thing. I was just so stunned!! Yeah, I got that on United too but it won't let me pay for it. I will try to call them and see what the story is! Thanks!

Thanks. I did that on United and found what we wanted, but it won't purchase. Searches seem to find what we need but won't let us buy them....it's really weird. I may have to call United.

Hi all, We need one way business class from London to Portland on Sept 17 post cruise. What is going on?? United had some decent fares but I couldn't buy them on the site!! Anybody know what the skinny is or have any secrets or trilcks? Cruise leaves in August from Iceland so that leg is easy and reasonable...though higher than usual, but getting home seems crazy!

Hi all, We are considering the July itinerary Dublin to Edinburg, 22 days. My husband is concerned it will be crazy crowded in all ports. However it seems O only does this itinerary in summer months. What can you tell me about this time of year in these ports? I know there are no guarantees but did anyone go and wish they had chosen a quieter time of year? Great itinerary and we are having to switch from a Fall cruise for medical reasons. Yeah aging! Thanks for your help! Kim

Hi all, We are flying VCE to PDX in April after our cruise. We have 2 layovers the one I am concerned about is Amsterdam. Coming from VCE we will have 55 minutes to connect with our flight to SEA. Elsewhere folks have said that 55 minutes isn't long enough in Amsterdam. Thoughts? Thanks, Kim

Hi all, Getting excited about 26 days on Marina. Has anyone purchased AT&T's cruise package for cell text and phone, it does have some data? It is supposed to work when we are 'at sea' and our phones indicate 'cellular at sea'. We did a Viking cruise, first one, in November and the wifi was terrific and we could both be on at the same time. I recall Oceania's wifi is not as good? Wondering about this AT&T deal. 11th Oceania cruise so we are familiar. Please no comments about not needing cell phones while on vacation. Some of us just do. Thanks, kim
