Thank you for all this. Yes needed to google what to do in Prince Rupert.

will do that, thank you....

Any suggestions for Rupert, last September we walked to Walmart ...lol

Thank you for the info on klawock. Now we have something to do there.

oh Im sure other lines have misleading information as well.... for us, we like everything about O, once we are on the ship...I am a fussy eater, there is always something for me, we like the activities, dont care about entertainment, like the shuttles, like the atmosphere, although that is changing with many now coming from Celebrity and wanting to make changes to O, like louder music, etc.

It should no longer be called a "best price guarantee" since the price is not adjusted.

Its not that they dont know, it is that they dont want to. They also know that no one will take them to task on it , legally. If we are committed to the line, then we back off once they give us something, even though that something is nothing compared to what it says in writing. It is all about promising something, they have no intention of giving you. Very shady practices but as long as they can get away with it, it continues. Hate to speak that way about our line of choice, but it is what it is.

Yes, the phrase "best price guarantee up to sailing " is just a scam phrase, but since O is our line of choice we have to put up with phrases like that and others that really mean nothing.

The old info , 2020, for best price guarantee, states that after final pay, O will give you a ship board credit, based upon their discretion. So thats that. O can do as they wish, depending on who deals with it. Could not find anything updated to 2024 for this issue. So time to move on from this .

Our TA did push back, with no result. You were fortunate. O doesn't paint everyone with the same brush. Probably just based on the mood of the rep that is handling it on any given day.

We paid it because that was our due date without penalty.

We made final pay a week ago, for an Alaska cruise that is now part of the sale. Also the price has come down 400pp. O will only give us 200pp non refundable obc, even though we booked on board with best price guarantee. Doesn't seem fair, but thems the breaks.

Enjoyed Regatta to Alaska last Sept, booked it again for this Sept. Yes many older folks. They are inspiring on an active cruise like that. Plenty of all ages. Its a busy itinerary, the tours are pretty much all the entertainment we need. Hoping to have the good food we had last year.

Someone here said that on a luxury line they have so many more choices for liquor and constantly being offered more. I said if that is the diff between lux and premium, we won't pay for lux since liquor has no incentive for us. O offers us all that we need, even though now we have to pay more for SM.

To add to that. The recent O change to SM, does little for us. But we enjoy so much of what we get with O that we are willing to put up with the fact that we are paying for wines that we will not be consuming.
