Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Well stated. From a corporate PoV, with the Simply More structure, the product differentiation between Oceania and Regent just became blurred. Oceania maybe seen as under cutting their sister corporation- Regent.
  2. Lets be tolerant of different Points of View. For instance I don't like the fact that I now have to pay for "Free Alcohol" when I do not drink. The Oceania 'Cruise Only' fare offered a wonderful product at a great price that accommodated others like myself. Ah....who knows, maybe the 'Simple More' can be backed out of the price as a 'Credit' if you ask for it.
  3. Wow....thanks for setting me straight. Now I know I am on the right path.
  4. PinotLover, Well you missed the point, there are some of who like the Oceania product who CANNOT DRINK, but now are forced to purchase an alcohol package. BTW, It is not an ‘obsession’ as you stated, it’s a necessity.
  5. I am confused. 1) Is the cruise only fare still available? 2) If not, why would any company make customers who do not drink alcohol pay for a drinks package? (yes, we who do not drink, but like the Oceania product, are out there)
  6. Pepsi? Why.....just why?😬
  7. I can confirm - 'No' is correct.
  8. Its funny how many people are afraid to be alone with themselves and their own thoughts. Think of it as a time of self-reflection, meditation, personal growth and achieving inner peace. Time - Its what you make of it.
  9. Brentwood Bay; Very good presentation of the data and analysis. So if I read correctly, the single cruise credit is a non-factor/not a deal maker/breaker. The real savings (cash in wallet) is found by subtracting the cruise fare difference ($600) from the additional obc ($1750); thus $1750-$600 = $1150 (pp) or $2300 for two.
  10. "So, if you are suggesting that you have two distinct Oceania invoices, each with its own booking number (upper left hand corner) and different Oceania cruise number (right upper side of the O invoice) for adjacent 7 day segments, someone screwed up." Not suggesting, stating this is what we bought and received. Because of this thread, I checked with Oceania and TA yesterday; our B2B (NYC-Bermuda-NYC-Bermuda-NY) 7day/7day purchase it is considered two distinct and separate voyages and will be awarded two credits. BTW - Both Oceania and TA stated this is not considered a 'Custom Cruise'. Thanks for the info. Another thing to consider when I retire and DW and I start going on longer cruises with Oceania.
  11. Wife an I are new (1 one cruise on Oceania) to Oceania. We liked the product so much we booked a B2B from NYC to Bermuda (each leg is 7 days). Am I understanding from this discussion that the whole B2B will be treated as 1 cruise credit? Each leg has its own booking #. Thanks in advance.
