Oslo, Norway
As expected, our luggage did not catch up to us in Oslo.
We proceed to the ship and board without incident. I checked in with the Reception Desk and filled out more paperwork regarding the missing luggage. (We are not alone in this issue...)
Oceania gave us:
- toiletry bags to tide us over
- 25% discount on any clothes we buy on board until our luggage arrives
- so we purchased enough clothes to wear in the main dining room
- they even offered a crew member's talent to shorten a pair of slacks for Jeff
- free overnight laundry for the one set of clothes on our backs
Silly us, we didn't have a change of clothes in our carry-on, but we had our medications and travel documents, so we just need to be patient and wait for our luggage to catch up with us.
Poor us - again - we went to the Terrace Cafe (buffet restaurant aboard) for dinner and had grilled lobster tails and more.
As usual, even though we've signed on for a 22 day cruise, it actually is a 12 day joined to a 10 day cruise so we're finding that very few of the passengers we're meeting will be here for the entire 22 days we'll be traveling.
Crew is very friendly - Oceania has removed their home country from their name badges (bad move in our opinion), so we need to ask each person we deal with so we can say Thank You in their language. Just another step, but well worth it.
Life Is Good
