Wish it were that simple. Ship Board Credits, Promo's and Onboard booking credits have to be thrown into your calculations.

Enjoy reading everyone's views on O. As cruisers working on 55th, the size, cuisine and staff has us working on our 10th O cruise since the Pandemic ending. Due to O's loyalty program, this means no more gratuities (so thankful). We've booked 10 more through 2025 while on-board to take advantage of low DP and extra OBC. Most of the observations are spot on except we find O Excursions work for us for two big reasons: We won't be left if we're late for any reason and on extended Cruises we always take Your World (25% discount) and use OBC to offset even more cost. Goodbye Celebrity, RCCL and NCL and those expensive lines listed is this thread.

We were at the highest loyalty level with Celebrity but found them to start slipping before Covid. We ate most night in blue because Luminae was just not the same as previous sailings. Could have been the cook on those ships (couldn't put a finger on it). Since August 2021 its been Oceania or Crystal (Sadly) & a couple of HAL.

Cannot get non-stop from Daytona using my preferred airline.

One stop on preferred airline with FF earned each instance. Picked seats shortly after booking. No offset.

Respectfully disagree! We have compared and always gotten great prices for biz class with O. We also have many air points but using O air works best.
