janisegn Posted October 17, 2010 #1 Share Posted October 17, 2010 as i am new to the Oceania board please accept my apologies if this has been asked and answered before - we are looking at an Alaska cruise this coming August - when i input our booking information on the actual Oceania website, the cabin choice i make is listed as sold out, but i have received a quote from a TA giving me that exact same cabin category - does anyone know why this would be? - we always book through a TA but i was really just doing a cost comparison - hmmmm? - thanks for any input - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted October 17, 2010 #2 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Same cabin or cabin Category? The TA may give you a quote on the Category but whether they can get a cabin is another matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LHT28 Posted October 17, 2010 #4 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I would just call O & ask about the pricing for the Cabin you want Then you can decide. Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apex Cruiser Posted October 18, 2010 #5 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Your TA may also have checked with O about a "guaranteed" cabin in that category. You will not be assigned a cabin until one is available but you are guaranteed that you will be on the sailing in a minimum of that cabin. It allows O to make sure the ship sails full. They usually offer only a few cabins guaranteed in each category. We are currently guaranteed on a B2 for the Tahitian sailing in April 2012. Yes the cabins sold out that fast. If you can handle the uncertainty it's a great way to get on an O sailing that may be extremely popular. There are other threads on the board talking about how this works and you'll see O threads with passengers being offered upgrades or other sailings as O fills the guarantees if they oversell them and not enough passengers cancel.
