Prepaid Gratuities

[stuNYC]

What determines what itineraries include prepaids. I sent my sister on a 35 day cruise from Hong Kong to Athens last year which included both free air and prepaids.

 

I want to book a 25 day cruise from Sydney to PPT March 2012, which includes free air but not prepaids.

 

Does O include prepaids closer to the sail date or if a particular itinerary isn't selling out. If so, are prepaids ONLY for new bookings or can I get them even if I have already booked.

 

Thanks for your help. 100 days (4 people) of prepaids makes quite a difference in the total cost of the trip.

O occasionally but rarely includes pre-paid gratuities, usually on an itinerary that is not selling as well as others.

 

Many TAs will give you pre-paid gratuities as a perk.

Move your reservation to an Oceania specialist TA and you'll probably have no problems in getting pre-paid gratuities.

Very few cruises with prepaids or bonus OBC

 

Shop around for a TA that included prepaids or some OBC

 

ON CC we can not discuss which agents provide theses perks
