It has been like this for years so not glitchy I do the same. I have never ever booked cruise direct through a cruise line for reasons like this.

I booked June 30 in outside cat C for $2899 pp cruise only. On O web site they are selling it for $4199 cruise only. The online TA's show it as $2899. Why would anyone book direct with Oceania and pay 30% more? Wrong! $4199 is O Life with air. Cruise only s $2899 - just like your booking.

Perhaps the online booking is being glitchy. Today someone posted on our roll call that they were having trouble booking online due to website issues. I suggested they post their request for help here on the main Oceania forum where we have the benefit of several seasoned and helpful CC members. So, yes, perhaps the website is glitchy.

Roccaforte Posted July 4, 2021 #32 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Our February 2022 Riviera cruise in a PH2 has gone up $100 per person. Glad I booked last month. Doesn’t seem like too much but still better for me😁. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robjame Posted July 8, 2021 #34 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) This is a very interesting thread and caused me to check on the effect of the July 1 price increase on our booked cruises. The brochure fare for our 10 day Miami - Miami cruise in March has gone down $300 pp. Yet when you factor in the applicable early booking discounts and the decreased air allowance, the net effect is actually an increase of $50 pp. Nice bit of marketing when a cheaper price can actually be worse.
