cruiser1692 Posted February 9 #1 Share Posted February 9 Did Oceania recently change the minimum excursions to 6 for the 25% discount? I just noticed it in my sailing details Trieste - Barcelona May 29th departure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfapair Posted February 9 #2 Share Posted February 9 I recently booked 6 S/E for our upcoming cruise. When I tried to use the website to book the excursions it did not calculate the correct cost. I had to call Oceania to book them so the correct discount was applied, the total was added up correctly, and our credit was applied correctly. I did have to book 6 excursions to get the discount. I don't know if it was 5 excursions previously. But a warning for all trying to book Simply More excursions: DO NOT use the website to book. Figure out what excursions you'd like, then call Oceania. Their website is extremely messed up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser1692 Posted February 9 Author #3 Share Posted February 9 I know someone who just finished their Oceania cruise in New Zealand and it was book 5 excursions to get 25% off. I want to utilize the simply more shore excursion credit but the amount barely covers 2-3 excursions... the 100-150% markup on their excursions is pretty ridiculous. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pinotlover Posted February 9 #4 Share Posted February 9 The number of required excursions for the discount is dependent upon the total number of port days on your cruise. For example, it’s a different number if you’re on a 7 day cruise as opposed to a 15 day cruise. I always have my TA book my ship excursions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfapair Posted February 9 #5 Share Posted February 9 I was able to book 6 excursions for the two of us (12 total), and only pay an additional $120 after all my OBC was applied ($1250). That leaves no OBC to cover pre-paid gratuities, or drinks on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerfan75 Posted February 9 #7 Share Posted February 9 In my experience, NEVER use online booking of excursions. It is always wonky. O allows a guest that is booked through a TA to call direct for excursions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just noticed it in my sailing details Trieste - Barcelona May 29th departure I have two 15 day cruises booked. One has 7 ports and requires 4 excursions for the discount. The other has 11 ports and requires 6 excursions for the discount. Your cruise has 11 ports; so 6 excursions looks consistent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed quite straightforward but considering how cockamamie things are these days I suppose I should consider to keep and eye on everything. Thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
