alexandra cruiser Posted October 30, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) I booked the 4 FREE excursions before final payment, now I see same cruise is offering 6;contacted my TA to add the extra. Since its the weekend, no reply yet. But wonder if others have done this, I ve gotten a discount in fare on other lines,but not this ,exactly. Any thoughts?Seems only fair, as not to would penalize early bookers. Edited October 30, 2016 by alexandra cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropicalkerry2002 Posted October 30, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 30, 2016 it's not 6 PER CABIN? My cruise changed from 4 per person to 6 per cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arima22 Posted October 30, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) The excursions per cruise for the "new offers" have decreased in number and are now totaled by stateroom instead of per person. Edited October 30, 2016 by arima22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted October 30, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) The latest O Life deal for your cruise is PER CABIN so you will have 3 pp Read the fine print before you change your deal Edited October 30, 2016 by LHT28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recent O web post dropped the total amounts in O Life perks and also changed the wording from "per person" to "per stateroom." You probably have more than the current deal. BTW, O's "book onboard" deals now have price drop protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted October 30, 2016 #7 Share Posted October 30, 2016 and you re all right,did misread.Sorry for confusion.Sent another email to my TA to ignore first. You think that O is trying to trick us with the per cabin from the per person? It is easy to misread this since the offers last year were all per person.

Rare mare s. Posted October 31, 2016 #8 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Please correct me if I'm wrong....so if we booked under the old offer of per person, we will still get that offer? Or can we be bumped back to the fewer excursions? If the latter, perhaps the on board credit would be a better option (or did they reduce that too?)

You will get what you booked - unless YOU request a change (before final payment). Edited October 31, 2016 by Paulchili Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beverage package did not change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjobtx Posted November 9, 2016 #11 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I think you will find that the offers will either be reduced or increased based on how well a particular cruise is selling. If there is a lot of unsold cabins, offers often get better but you must read the new offer very carefully. It usually gives something but sometimes also takes away so you have to look at the value. On our last two cruises, I was able to improve our offer. The tariff was reduced on both. The last time it was after final payment. Work with your TA. You can't get what you don't ask for. On our last short cruise (10 day on the Marina), we upgraded to an OS from an OC for a very reasonable amount. We decided we would never get another chance on our budget to stay in an OS so we went for it. I realize that is a self-initiated improvement but if a cruise is selling out, upgrades are possible at significantly reduced rates. The upgrade to the OS was made three weeks before departure.
