dorisis Posted July 25, 2012 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I have 4 Oceania cruises booked. Do I get any OBCs such as the Future Cruise Credits? If so, who do I see to obtain them? ~Doris~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulchili Posted July 25, 2012 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I believe that this is correct: After completion of each cruise you will get a $200 certificate. You can ask your TA to apply it to your next (booked) cruise as an OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get a discount for an onboard booking they may or may not apply so check with your TA On your 5th 10th cruise etc...you will also recieve an OBC the card will be in your cabin when you arrive Your TA may also give an OBC you need to take that up with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digtexas Posted July 25, 2012 #4 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Does Oceania have any sponsorship programs, like Crystal, where past cruisers on the same sailing can sponsor new cruisers, or like Seabourn, where coupons can be used? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can ask your TA to apply it to your next (booked) cruise as an OBC. I don't think this is exactly right. The $200 certificate can be applied to a future cruise. I believe it can be applied to an already booked cruise or a new reservation if made within 45 days. There is no "cash value" so it can not be converted to an OBC. If the cruises you have booked are scattered, then I assume you have not paid for them all. Obviously, only you know the scheduling, but ideally, as you complete each cruise you can apply the certificate to the next one where final payment has not been made. Possibly, if final payment has been made, Oceania could credit your credit card. Truthfully, we are all guessing. You have posed an excellent question and your T/A can get you the definitive answer. In the meantime, you have made us all jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marilyn, if you apply the certificate to a cruise that is already paid in full, the certificate does automatically convert to shipboard credit..IE you go on a cruise in July and you have another cruise for September..by the time you get the coupon your next cruise is already paid in full..

findacruise Posted July 26, 2012 #13 Share Posted July 26, 2012 This may not apply to the OP but if you book a cruise while you were on another cruise and receive the 5% discount then you can not apply the $200 certificate. Unfortunately, no double dipping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will that be $200 per cruise on the B2B? and an additional $200 . All very confusing and a phone call to Ta and Oceania only left me more confused. ~Doris~> Who wants to know how much OBC will be available totally for the B2B cruises???

Unfortunately, no double dipping! I just called Oceania the other day. After getting these certificates and filling them out for years, I've never really seen them applied. The young woman at Oceania told me that you cannot apply this certificate if you booked on board and received a 5% discount on the fare, only if you book a new cruise after coming home.

On your 5th cruise you should have gotten a $200 OBC for your Club Status On cruises 6-9 you should get $200 for each cruise even if they are a B2B Cruise 10 you will get the perks that go with that status I seem to recall it is $400 plus other perks .... you can under the Oceania club perks or in the back of the Brochure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
