Rare Ken the cruiser Posted October 6, 2017 #51 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Maybe I am missing something here. If we can afford to go on these cruises, I can afford to send out for a few bags of laundry! The addition of the expanded room service menu from the GDR is not what we cruise for. We look forward to going to dinner and meeting other people and enjoying the ambiance of the dinning venue.This is just Oceania keeping up with the "Jones", not much of a perk. Anyway, just my opinion. We were always on the edge of either booking an A or B cabin, but usually opted for the B cabin. Now, with this new laundry perk, we will probably always book at least an A3 cabin. From our point of view, O picked the right perk to motivate us to the next level.

Paulchili Posted October 7, 2017 #53 Share Posted October 7, 2017 The official line is Concierge and above. I'm pretty sure at this point you can take this to the bank. See what Jan said below. I wouldn't doubt her. I certainly believe Jan but my e mail from Oceania says this: INSIDER TIPS Concierge Level Veranda Stateroom amenities are getting an upgrade — beginning with voyages in October, guests in this category will receive a few all–new valuable privileges. Click here to read more about this (see page 11), plus discover fabled Scandinavia, new Grand Dining Room menus and more in our new issue of the OLife newsletter. I do not see the words "Concierge & above" anywhere here nor on page 11 of attached O Life newsletter. Can you please point out where you see that specifically stated by Oceania?

I'm more curious why I'm not getting the O Life newsletter, either by email or mail. The way I see it O has been going back and forth over which categories are included. It has caused a bit of confusion. The most current and latest line is Concierge and up. Perhaps that mailer was written and went out before the latest decision was made.

Rare LHT28 Posted October 7, 2017 #56 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I'm more curious why I'm not getting the O Life newsletter, either by email or mail. . Me too :confused: but since we opted out of the brochure delivery I do not want to jinx it by asking for the O Life which is part of the perks for Oceania Club I had asked last year if you could view it online but the reply was not at this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newlondon Posted October 7, 2017 #62 Share Posted October 7, 2017 The description of perks for PH and above " all the amenities of the classes below plus" Seems very clear that the laundry would be included. Almost always the amenity is by leg such as reservations at the specialties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted October 7, 2017 #63 Share Posted October 7, 2017 If I might ask on Grand Voyages is it 3 bags per leg or 3 bags for the entire cruise? I am going to guess that it will be per segment :halo: Just like the dining reservations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ken the cruiser Posted October 7, 2017 #64 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Per segment makes the most sense. But then when this perk first appeared last month before being temporarily pulled, our O PCC was only authorized to only give us 3 bags on our 32 day July 2018 GV and 3 bags on our 26 day Oct 2018 GV. That's why we're so interested in the answer to this question. The next question is if it's actually 6 bags, 3 for each leg, do we need to have our confirmations corrected or will it be a mute point if it's now a standard perk for all concierge (and above) cabins whether or not it's listed on the confirmation?

It may be a moot point if it is per segment but if it makes you feel better have your TA put it in writing on your file & update your invoice to reflect the added perk JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoHoHo Posted October 8, 2017 #68 Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) What is an O Life newsletter? The "click here" is here. I didn't know about the online newsletter either. Just now realized all O related email comes to me from TAs. never saw this one below. Do get printed ones which are nice as O has some great productions I certainly believe Jan but my e mail from Oceania says this: INSIDER TIPS Concierge Level Veranda Stateroom amenities are getting an upgrade — beginning with voyages in October, guests in this category will receive a few all–new valuable privileges.

With the rest of O's new 2019 cruises coming out next week, I'm sure we'll be calling our O PCC rep to book one of them. At that time we'll hopefully get our GV question answered and our existing bookings updated if it is in fact applicable on each leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
