zteamtwo Posted November 13, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I just did a "pretend" booking on our cruise leaving Jan 19th on Vista. I think right now there are about 66 cabins not sold and available. Not sure if Oceania does some kind of special promotion as we get closer to the sailing date.

They have many ways of selling out without lowering the price.. Jancruz1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zteamtwo Posted November 13, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Thanks Jancruz. What are some of the things they do to sell out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunlover12 Posted November 13, 2023 #4 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I have never seen them reduce the price on the cruises that I've been on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that it’s going to be a Black Friday sale starting soon. There’s a chance that your cruise will be included with some kind of discount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FetaCheese Posted November 13, 2023 #6 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Received a tel call msg. from my O PCC who said they have about 65 cruises on their Thanksgiving/BFS. Didn't call her back to find out, and not on O site yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonthomas Posted November 14, 2023 #7 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Yes Feta, my O rep booked an Alaska cruise for me, 600 off a B1 for Sept. Just not sure of the cabin. We are on the Marina now, so will check it with ambassador. It is mid ship on 6, life boats right below. Because it is with " the booked on ship", we have the best price guarantee, in case a better sale comes along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be on alert for when sale fares are available to the public. I'm skeptical that best price would be applicable, since you booked a sale fare. Tried recently to use my Future Cruise Deposit Certificate for a cruise on sale. Only the deposit would be applied. No other benefits of cert would apply.

Rare Vallesan Posted November 14, 2023 #9 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Oceania have a ‘best price guarantee’. I booked a cruise for next January and it was vastly reduced in the Summer Sale so had it repriced and the new price. Future Cruise Deposit …. we have had a couple and discovered that they just aren’t combinable with other offers. In fact if you look carefully there may be several offers applicable to some cruises but you can normally only apply ‘one’! So you have to pick the best for you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambagahle Posted November 14, 2023 #10 Share Posted November 14, 2023 from what I have seen most of the cruise lines including O. will announce a sale, run it and then when it ends - raise their fares. So about the opposite of what the OP was asking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes sometimes you can have your (non booked onboard) cruise re-priced. Sometimes you can’t. It never hurts to ask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m in Europe at the moment so can’t access the UK site to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
