BANTRY, IRELAND Port Reviews

Took a lovely bus tour and saw the countryside. Ate lunch and can tell you the terrain is worth seeing. Lush, green, fertile land.

The tour was OK but when returning to the ship over 200 of the passengers were stranded on the pier and no one from management came off the ship to inform us of the problem. Only rumors that the officials had refused to let the ship tenders operate. But they did send wait staff over with some chairs and sandwiches. Big deal !! I called Oceanias offices and some woman said the management there knew about it and then she said " have a nice day". Can you think of anyless consideration than that ?? folks standing out in the sun over 3 hours and she didn't even say they were sorry. I guess that attitude was pervasive from the top down. Several folks around us said it best : We are not going on oceania again !! Have to mention that the included lunch on our tour was TERRIBLE. Way to small a room and poor quality food.

Since the tour we wanted were sold out, we walked around this charming town. The cobblestones streets and shops were lovely. It was cold and raining, so our visit was only a couple of hours.
