"the finest cuisine at sea"

This is the original itinerary we booked!

Fairly early on, they cancelled the stop at Holyhead in favour of Liverpool, which effectively dropped Wales off the schedule entirely! Fortunately, we were able to take advantage of the change to see friends Juliet and Dan in Liverpool. However, 12 days before we were due to go, Oceania announced that Dun Laoghaire (for Dublin) was also cancelled in favour of Greenock (for Glasgow), which did not suit Angie! Luckily, there was still Cobh on the itinerary (so the Republic of Ireland was still included in our 'British Isles'!) but no explanation or reason was given for either of the changes. See the revised itinerary here: Revised Itinerary >>

Needless to say, Oceania was much quicker to take the extra money for the new excursion I booked than it was to refund the money already paid for the cancelled excursions in Dublin!
