7 Night Caribbean Cruise on Oceania Cruises
Reviewed By Candace Krier - Fasterville Trevose, PA | Traveled to Caribbean
Badonna is the best. She handles all requests timely and efficiently with a real can-do approach. She is very personable and a good listener. She knew that I was interested in a penthouse upgrade. She stayed on top of the cruise offerings and called me three days before the cruise to advise of the upgrade's availability. When I said yes, she immediately got off the phone and booked it. Way to go Badonn-O!
