  1. Celebrity changed its policy recently and allowed shareholder OBC  to be combined with  other OBC for cruises booked after June  1 2019.Previous to that shareholder OBC was not given if you had any other OBC from Celebrity.

     

    it is possible that the OBC from your travel agent is part of the pick 2. I noticed many online agencies imply that they are giving it but it is actually coming from the cruise line.If your OBC is from a travel agency kickback then that should  be combinable.

    I have been a shareholder since 2000 and have not been able to get that benefit on 

    Celebrity for a good 10 years

  2. My two Oceania cruises were on the Marina down the coast of Spain and Insignia to Cuba After the Marina cruise I cancelled another booked Oceania cruise but kept the Insignia one because I wanted to go to Cuba,

     

     

    The breakfast and lunch buffets have limited choices. While it's nice to be able to have grilled lobster sandwiches for lunch I had it too many times due to lack of de cn salad or sandwich choices. Dinners on Oceania contain more expensive ingredients so that is a big plus(love the foie gras) but the Coquilles St Jacques dish contained three small scallops on a similarly small slice of potato with a mushroom garnish and they called it an entree.(While you can always get more it was served two hours after we first sat and we would have missed the show which is only one time) A real Insignia plus is the bread. Their baguette is the best I ever had

    Ice cream service ends at 4 p.m and does not start again until the buffet at 6:30. Ice cream flavors are limited. Usually only. vanilla chocolate and Strawberry, another flavor that changes and a sugar free. I am a chocolate lover but went for the vanilla and strawberry since the chocolate lacked flavor.

    Between five and 6:30 there is no food available except for room service.i feel when you are out for most of the day and come back at 5 p.m. you might like something small to tide you over and room service is not the answer

    Service is excellent , except on the pool deck but I have always found great service on Celebrity.

    Beds and bedding are great.

     

    While I like the idea of a smaller ship i just don't feel as a cruise itself Oceania is worth the extra money.
