Booking future cruise on board ship

[oceandream]

while you are on an Oceania Cruise and you book a forthcoming cruise
what kind of credit is allowed

[spindrift]

Actually, unless there has been a change recently, they don't have a booking agent onboard, but you can book through the web on Oceania. Once you have cruised with Oceania, they will send you a certificate for $200 if you book your cruise within 45 days, as I recall. If you have booked and you then receive the certificate for $200 upon your return, you just send it back to Oceania with the requested information and ask that it be applied to the trip you booked onboard.

I am only a "traveler," so I am sure that one of the agents who frequent the board will respond and verify or correct.

Yep, we received our coupon within a couple of weeks of being back home, it came with two very heavy but nice looking luggage tags, you have 45 days from the end of the last cruise to book the next. Sent our coupon in after booking the next cruise and have already seen the $200 credit on our invoice from our TA.

WOW, YOU got luggage tags???? Not us. Tell you something. I am still using my Crystal and Vistafjord tags. On how many trips have you traveled with Oceania???

[Ed and Jim]

We received our luggage tags after our first cruise. But it did take around 6 weeks to get them and the certificate after we returned!

Hate to tell you this Spindrift but we got them in the mail as well after we returned from SA last year. They are so nice that I would hesitate to use them on anything except carry-ons. That is if we're able to continue carrying anthing on international flights!:)

We got the luggage tags, too. They're very pretty, but I agree with the Queen and probably wouldn't put them on checked luggage. I was able to apply the $200 credit to a cruise booked AFTER 45 days, so ask before tossing the coupon.

We have gotten those tags after two cruises, which was nice since baggage handlers totalled one of them the first time we put it on a suitcase.

I keep using them on my checked luggage (they are great identifiers if they survive) ... but the advice NOT to do so is very well taken!

Both times it took us quite a while for them to arrive. Be patient!

We are first timers on Regatta on 9/26, Rome to Barcelona. We have already booked Singapore to Sydney for Dec 2007 as we had thought it would sell out quickly.

As we had not yet traveled on Oceania, so did not have the $200 vouchers yet, any chance we can have the $200 applied to 2007 sailing that we have booked? We would have waited to book until we had the vouchers in hand but were afraid availability might be gone if we waited that long.

Thanks!
