AlmondFarmer Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 I’m on the sailing before (1-15-23) and noticed today that 1-22-23 is gone. Anybody know anything? Charter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 I really have no info BUT I would suspect that it has been chartered. A certain lifestyle group charters an O class ship every year in January. In 2022 it is Oasis. I know b/c the 1-16-22 sailing was the middle sailing of a B3B Star Class trio that I had booked. It totally dicked-up my plans (see what I did there ?). So it could be something else but my money is on this explanation.

twangster Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 I was hoping that group would charter the 1/6/23 sailing but that is a short 4 night cruise and I can't imagine anyone in that group wants to get the short stick.

If it is the group who chartered Allure 1-17-21 (bumping me) then you are correct with the end of your post. I have many witty things I could say but my wife has instructed me not to. teddy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised they are downsizing their premier event by half. Or maybe they struggled to fill an Oasis class ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GKMCruising Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 I wonder how often the random ropes used to block off areas on the pool deck go "missing" on that cruise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 This same group I believe has commandeered (staying with the pirate theme) 2 Odyssey sailings in the Med this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy & Sheryl Unwin Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 Can someone explain what kind of group this is? I see the innuendo, but never heard of any group chartering an Oasis class. And yes I am being serious, I just dont put it together... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one example. There are also clothing optional cruises that are full charters as it would be difficult to do that as a partial charter.

Jill Posted October 17 Report Share Posted October 17 9 hours ago, WAAAYTOOO said: When is that ? I want to say August 2022. It might be a late July sailing and an august. I just remember all the unhappy passengers that got cancelled Found it: August 21-30. I guess there’s only only one they’ve (Atlantis) chartered. I remember another odyssey being chartered too though. Must be different group. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
