Conditions of offer varies widely. 26 minutes ago, PaulMCO said: Occasionally when things are overbooked they will offer to cancel and give you a bonus. Varies. Of course in COVID time all cancellations are move over. So, there is potential for move over offers in order to achieve a reduction to 50% capacity on pre booked sailings?

Yes! We received a move over offer maybe 7 years ago. Didn’t get it until about 60 days out. I believe that since Oceania has started managing Guarantees better, the number of move overs has declined considerably. In fact, since final payment isn’t due until 60 days out now, it may well be 30-45 days prior before any such offer might be made. I don’t believe 50% is a hard and fast number either. A cruise might have been booked to 55% for example and still go as currently booked. FDR once used 50-60% as a guideline.

Superb question. Has this been brought up elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to but now cut back on overbooking They would offer upgrades/cash/OBC depending on what cabin you had & how bad they wanted it 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if the sailing was overbooked before last fall They have not been booking full for several months now I saw a chat with FDR back in the fall he stated they will only be booking at 50-60% capacity for at least the first 60- 90 days when cruises start back up maybe longer depending on the guidelines of the authorities It is the great unknown at this point ..do not think the major cruise lines have been shut down by a pandemic before 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
