Lvntrvl Posted March 28 #1 Share Posted March 28 I just logged into Oceania to review our account and see that they have now added another pricing category for Shore Excursions labeled "Unlimited". We previously booked 5 shore excursions on our South America/ Antarctica cruise which allowed us a 25% "Simply More" discount from the ala carte pricing. I also used a $400pp OBC offered through their New Year's Sale. When I attempted to do a price comparison between "Simply More" and "Unlimited" pricing, I found that several of our choices are priced as N/A under the "Unlimited" category. My questions are two-fold. (1) Do you have to book a shore excursion every day you are in port with the "Unlimited" package? (We have an overnight at one port, so I would assume that I need to book 2 excursions under the "Unlimited" plan.) and (2) If the tour that we prefer does not have "Unlimited" pricing do we pay the SM price w/ 25% discount or ala carte pricing? We are new to Oceania, so any guidance or thoughts are appreciated. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who booked under OLife have access, but it was rarely a better deal than the 25% discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oceania no longer offers the Unlimited but they do still offer a 25% discount from the SM pricing if you book a certain number of excursions (number depends upon length of cruise and number of ports). The pricing on the web page is very wonky and so you can not depend upon it to appear correct. Your best bet is to write down the excursions you want and either have your TA or you call Oceania and have them give you the correct pricing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lvntrvl Posted March 29 Author #4 Share Posted March 29 Thank you for your responses. I have another related question. We received the 25% SM discount after having booked the minimum number of excursions. We are traveling to South America / Antarctica where several ports may get canceled due to weather. If Oceania cancels a port and we fall below the minimum threshold, do they still honor the 25% SM discount? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewSalty Posted March 30 #5 Share Posted March 30 I haven't had it happen to me, but others have written on this forum that you do indeed lose the discount if you are unable to book another excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
