Just spoke with our TA.  She has confirmed with O that they will honor the Ultimate O Life promotion on our previously booked March 20, 2024 Riviera cruise.  While we are loosing prepaid gratuities, we are gaining more.  

I was able to see the list of cruises available from my TA today.  Our 2024 Riviera cruise is listed.  Now comes the question if Oceania will honor the sale on an already booked cruise.  Any experience with this out there?  I realize that I would loose any previous promotions, but all three O Life perks would be a much better deal for us.  

And yes, we do take ship excursions (in combination with independent ones), we do buy the drinks package, and we would love extra SBC to offset gratuities, bottles of premium wine at dinner, etc.So this sale seems like a good deal to us!

Our TA is very familiar with O, so we are surprised about her advice to wait. She did mention that with the current state of airfare and airlines, she has had better luck not booking so early due to changes and cancellations. I have NEVER waited this long to book air.  Glad I asked all the experts here.  I have reached out to her and am waiting to hear back.  If I don't hear from her in the next day or two, I will reach out to O directly, I guess.  Thanks!

Thanks to all of you for your help.  Will look into the transport.  

I agree, it feels like we are waiting too long to book air, but my TA insisted on waiting.  Emailed them last night and said it was time!

We will be flying home from Athens after our Vista cruise in July.  We are in a concierge verandah and are planning on doing O Air.  What is the earliest departing flight that would be a reasonable choice? Disembarkation is listed at 8:00 am.  We are trying to have a game plan if the air from Oceania ends up not being a good choice, and we have to do our own air.   We will be doing custom air with deviation fee as we plan to fly in a week before the cruise. Thanks in advance!

Can anyone give  a bit more information on how to book with/for other guest who are traveling with us?  I know I need their booking number.  When we go in to make the reservations, is there an option to add them?  Do they need to do anything on their end?  Thanks!

We are on 25 June Vista cruise Rome to Athens and we just booked a culinary class through the website.  

We are booked in Riviera 7108 for a March 2024 Japan cruise.  I love the extended balcony and feel lucky to have gotten the cabin given the positive reviews here.  Reading about the wind has me a bit concerned.  Any more opinions on just how bad the wind might be?  Is the wind worth it for the extended balcony?  Our traveling companions are booked right next to us in 7110.  I could still change to another cabin with the extended balcony, if needed.  

We are already booked on one of the included cruises in March 2024, Land of the Rising Sun.  Is it possible for my TA, or with Oceania directly to get this promotion applied to an already booked cruise?  If not, no sense of canceling and rebooking, since the price has increased!

We recently booked a 2024 voyage on Riviera in Japan!  We are currently booked in 7108 and 7110, (traveling with friends) thanks to many of you here who spoke highly of the extended balcony and "two sided" one in 7108.  It was the last of the four with this configuration available.  Thanks to those who posted pictures.  Really helpful.  

Now comes my question... should I be worried about noise coming from the dining room or casino as they are directly below on deck six?  We could upgrade to deck eight, but wouldn't have larger balcony.

Would appreciate any insight you experts might have. 🙂
