Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Oceania no longer offers the Unlimited but they do still offer a 25% discount from the SM pricing if you book a certain number of excursions (number depends upon length of cruise and number of ports). The pricing on the web page is very wonky and so you can not depend upon it to appear correct. Your best bet is to write down the excursions you want and either have your TA or you call Oceania and have them give you the correct pricing.
  2. All excursions are available as part of the package, nothing is excluded. It just depends on what you prefer and how much you want to spend.
  3. Since she was asking about the beverage package options, trying to stay on topic and only discuss the issue of beverage packages and alcohol.
  4. I am assuming you are joking since this has been discussed ad nausam since last Spring,....
  5. Oceania does not include the premium beverage package with any of their cabins nor do they run any specials, The price (today) is $30.00 pp per day to upgrade. You can wait a few days to see if you need to upgrade and only pay from that day forward, Oceania does have a very liberal bring onboard alcohol policy. You can bring personal wine (and other liquors) onboard at embarkation and at various ports for consumption in your cabin. You can take a bottle of your personal wine with you to any meal and pay a $25.00 corkage fee. We are wine drinkers and enjoy a glass on our verandah in the afternoons, before and after dinners. Port is included in the SM beverage package so we order a glass of port after dinner. We will bring wine onboard at embarkation (slap a label on the case and hand it to the porters with our luggage) and bring back local wines with us from our various ports.
  6. The only "new" perks you will now receive staying with the OLife booking is 2 WIFI accounts per cabin. You would need to switch your booking to SM and pay the difference (what varies greatly) to receive the SM perks. For new bookings, the only item that can be "stripped" from the booking is "air"
  7. Based on previous comments, the one area that is most often mentioned is credits based on days of cruise being so broad at the lower up to 24 days in 1 credit......this was not addressed.
  8. On longer cruises they have had a "bag" deal - $20.00 for 20 pieces of laundry. It comes back washed, dried and folded.
  9. Yes - on one of our cruises it was less expensive....
  10. We either ask them to not eave the bread basket or ask them to serve us the one we want and take the remainder away - works well and no bread waster. Of course, the one bread basket we can not refuse is Toscana but we know that and order the remainder of the meal accordingly.
  11. We did a transit of the Panama Canal last NOV on Vista (our 3rd on Oceania). We had 2 different lecturers that gave talks on the Canal prior to the transit and a day long narrative during the transit. We enjoyed it very much...
  12. I believe you are talking about the AMEX cruise privilege program that provides certain perks (OBC, wine tasting, bottle of wine) when you pay for your cruise with your AMEX card. This is different as it a perk provided by O and that program is some times not combinable with other O offers.
  13. This has nothing to do with your O booking but with the AMEX account - make a payment of $1000.00+ to Oceania using your AMEX card and you receive a $200.00 credit on your AMEX statement.
  14. We never get the O offer on our AMEX Platinum after the first one 7-8 years ago! Lots of offers for other cruise lines, we don't sail. But today there is an offer for 20,000 AMEX points for $1000.00 + O payment.
  15. We enjoyed that we could add/subtract/combine the options in the dishes to make them to our liking!
