We had a great time on Oceania's Riviera last Nov/Dec.

We are now making final preparations for the Oceania Marina, sailing from Barcelona to Rome, from May 3rd - 17th.
We'll spend a few days in Barcelona beforehand, and then spend about a week in Northern Italy with dear friends.

Has there been any known case where two FlyerTalkers actually do meet-up on the same cruise?

Not that I know of ..
This time a year ago , we were on M . S . Marina in French Polynesia . Enjoyed the art class besides the meals , etc with our Cruisemates in our Oceania OC suite . Could not fit in another Oceania this year , preferred staterooms in waitlist situation or unavailable .
Have a wonderful time .

It's great when one finds a comfort level! Feel free to add to the Wiki.

On another note, here is hoping that @GeezerCouple and @mahasamatman are enjoying their cruises right now!

(I've done some cleanup of the Wiki, but as they are still cruising, I've left their voyages up there.)

Cleaned up Wiki. Removed an expired cruise, as well as a 2020 one (after Mrs 747FC decided not to retire at the end of the year. )

I'll go do the wiki if possible. I'm historically bad at Wikis ;-)

August 2019- Mekong river cruise on Avalon
Dec 2019 - our first Oceania! Riviera, the Caribbean (in-laws' choice, not mine, but I'm definitely looking forward to the ship and its food!)

Oh, how very nice!
And sorry that we haven't been "on" this Cruise Meet-up thread in... a long time.

Alas, we had to cancel this Med cruise (May, 2019) on *very* short notice.
98 yo MIL landed in the ER with heart trouble. We debated going, but when we realized that we wouldn't even have the results back from some critical tests by the time we were to leave, we knew it was off. That also meant our "before" visit to Barcelona was off, as was our 10-day trip to Italy, including a visit with dear friends.

MIL was stable a bit later, so we were able to recover some of the land portion of our trip.
(We had all agreed that at her age, invasive interventions weren't ideal... but she's now doing almost as well as before, and most importantly, she is still sharp as a tack, actively playing bridge daily. I sure hope DH has some of *those* genes!)

But the cruise itinerary was just perfect for us, and we can't find anything that comes close, unfortunately.
We'll keep looking, however.

However, we later were able to recover some of the Italy trip, including the visit with our friends.
