kroeni Posted February 25, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2019 We just booked the May 19 Reagatta cruise with oulife ultimate. In the online account I see the OBC but not the beverage package. Is this okay ? How does it work with the 3 excursions inclued? I collect three and and check out I see if they are for free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steroc Posted February 25, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 25, 2019 We are also on this cruise with the OLife ultimate and had same queries. The beverage package will not show unless it is one that you have paid for. The free excursions are restricted to non OE and OS. Select and then go to checkout and will show as zero to pay. You can use your OBC to pay for OE and OS excursions or for any additional excursions over the three free ones. Look forward to seeing you on board 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the Beverage package show on your invoice as a perk ?? It will be the Beer/Wine by the glass at lunch & dinner Package unless it states the Prestige package https://www.oceaniacruises.com/value/beverage-wine-packages/ I am guessing that non North Americans are getting all 3 O Life choices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelc Posted February 25, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 25, 2019 New to O but not cruising and this thread has got me thinking. I am on the 16 - 26 March 2019 sailing on Riviera which I booked via my travel agent under the O Life Ultimate offer. However, while the 6 shore excursions are detailed on my on-line account and Cruise Vacation Guide, the included gratuities, meal time drinks package and $600 on board credit are not shown. Is this normal for O or do I need to be contacting them before I get on the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would check with your TA if not Hope you booked the excursions you need to have them booked 14 days from sailing day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelc Posted February 25, 2019 #6 Share Posted February 25, 2019 All of the stated offers are listed on my invoice from the travel agent, but not any of the documents from O or on my on-line account. I really do not want to start my holiday off arguing at reception. Yes, all excursions booked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted February 25, 2019 #7 Share Posted February 25, 2019 You will probably not have an issue maybe others will comment on if the beverage package is listed someplace other than your invoice Usually our OBC & PPG are listed on the invoice but not online & not in the Blue book we do not do the drink packages or excursions Enjoy the cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelc Posted February 25, 2019 #8 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Thank you LHT28 for your replies. My online account states that there is no drinks package purchased, which technically is correct as it is complimentary. But to be sure, and to avoid issues onboard, I have just e-mailed O to confirm everything is as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigelc Posted February 25, 2019 #10 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) I would be disappointed with their administration if I did not get a reply within 5 days, but yes, I will contact my travel agent and ask them to confirm with O everything is as it shows on my invoice. Never had this problem before, Regent is all inclusive for everyone and all the other lines provide very clear statements of what is included.

Usually all inclusions like OBC etc are listed on that FYI we are on March 18th Marina sailing, and our TA just emailed us our "Final Cruise Summary" today. FYI it is one summary per person (our TA sends a single email with both, plus a few other pdf's - shore excursion, T&Cs, etc). So NigelC with any luck you will get yours shortly, unless UK timing is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelc Posted February 26, 2019 #14 Share Posted February 26, 2019 UPDATE: O have responded to my e-mail, and may I say in a very timely manner. They have confirmed that all of the O life Ultimate benefits are in place and that they are indeed detailed in their e-mail to my travel agent (although I have never seen this - but that's not O's fault). However, they also confirm that while these benefits are in place, they do not appear in our "on-line accounts" - no idea why not, but they do not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you got the reply maybe the UK office is a lot better at replying than the US Office The online account has never shown OBC, PPG or other perks Maybe in the future they will or maybe they do for cruises after May since now you can use your OBC before you board the ship Enjoy the cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to add that after we chose the 3 included excursions each -- then we decided on a 4th excursion and the least expensive one came up in the cart at the end. The system worked fine. The others came up zero. We took the excursions from Oceania which amounted to approx. $1,100 and we paid the additional $158 for both of us for the extra excursion. It was a better deal than taking the $600 SBC from Oceania. We also received the internet, gratuities, and a SBC from the TA and the air from Oceania of course. We did pay the $175PP air deviation fee, so we can stay on both ends of the cruise. Enjoy your cruise...😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
