Ship Reviews (4)
The most disappointing issue was that Oceania read more automatically charged US$100 to our credit card at the beginning of the cruise as a security deposit, without obtaining our authorisation. What is even more frustrating is that, despite the fact that we did not overspend our onboard credits or have any outstanding charges, the US$100 has still not been refunded. It has now been almost 30 days since the cruise ended, and we are still waiting for the money to be returned. We find this particularly disappointing and feel that the way this was handled was not consistent with the level of customer service we would expect from a premium cruise line.
More generally, we found that the overall level of service on Oceania—including organisation, entertainment and customer service—was noticeably below what we experienced with Viking. We were also not particularly impressed with the level of marketing during the cruise, which at times felt rather aggressive. Overall, our experience with Oceania reinforced our very positive impression of Viking, and we would certainly consider travelling with Viking again in the future. Thank you again for all your assistance over the years. We very much appreciate it.
Our consultant, Tracey Standing, was exceptional on all counts - especially her prompt, clear, professional and helpful communication. Recently, through her negotiations on our behalf with a major cruise company, not only did we have a trouble-free and relaxing cruise, but we finished up with more On-Board credits that we struggled to use them!! Thanks Tracey. For our (hopefully!!) next OS venture we will certainly have Global Journeys as Stop Number One !!
