Chris86 Posted December 19, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I received a brochure today from Oceania. It listed pent suites from 5775. VS from 7341. OS 9120 for a july 6 sailing. Jumping online I found the insides @ 5775. Veranda @ 7371 and pent @ 9120. Still new to O. Now is this an amazing brochure offer or a complete misprint? If so they have done this for every cruise advertised in the northern glaciers brochure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pinotlover Posted December 19, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 19, 2016 We Americans are being swamped with fake news and inaccurate reporting these days! A bit of a misprint on a brochure is small time stuff around here! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris86 Posted December 19, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Im from Sydney Australia. So everything is olife choice. No cruise only options. Quite a negative mistake since its the entire brochure. Since they send something every other day I guess they quit checking anything all together.

LemuelGulliver Posted January 14, 2017 #10 Share Posted January 14, 2017 The prices in the brochure are shown as eg 'Awe of Alaska' eg Vista Suite from AU$4190 per guest and the disclaimer states ..... Australian dollar fares are per person .... Port taxes/fees of AU919 are included in the cruise fare" Note that the published Australian fare prices must include all costs, including tips. We attempted to book one of these cruises and Oceania refused to provide it at the advertised price. This is quite illegal, as a supplier must provide services and goods at the advertised price. If it is a publishing error they are certainly not admitting to it. Our experience is that Oceania are not exhibiting good business practices.

JimandStan Posted January 14, 2017 #11 Share Posted January 14, 2017 It is my understanding that Oceania Cruises does not sell their product directly to consumers in Australia- Therefore, they would have had no reason to produce a brochure for distribution there. Identify the business which produced that literature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LemuelGulliver Posted January 14, 2017 #12 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Oceania now have a booking office in Sydney and deal direct with the public. The brochures are produced by Oceania and are tailored for Australia with AU$ prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted January 14, 2017 #13 Share Posted January 14, 2017 The prices in the brochure are shown aseg 'Awe of Alaska' eg Vista Suite from AU$4190 per guest does it say specifically the Vista suite is $4190 or fares from $4190 ? Usually the VS are one price there is no other price point like with PH1 PH2 etc.. where the prices do differ Even with the air included price here the VS are $7999 pp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimandStan Posted January 14, 2017 #14 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Oceania now have a booking office in Sydney and deal direct with the public. The brochures are produced by Oceania and are tailored for Australia with AU$ prices. I've researched this further and the good news is that Oceania is now represented in Australia by Oceania Cruises Inc. which (in their words) "acts for the owners of the ships". The bad news is that it says this all over their website: *Offers and fares are subject to change on 4/1/17. Visit OceaniaCruises.com (i.e. the American Site) for current pricing. Is it your position that the brochure in question does not contain that proviso? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LemuelGulliver Posted January 16, 2017 #15 Share Posted January 16, 2017 In reply to 'JimandStan" and to LHT. All the categories in Awe of Alaska are shown as 'from AU$xxxx'. In fact, the same applies to all cruises in the brochure. If accessing the Oceania .com website from Australia, the prices are shown in AUD. It is difficult to view the offerings in other countries such as US or Canada. I tried the link to "view complete terms and conditions associated with this special offer" but that part of their website is currently down.

Funny that you managed to leave all of that out of Post #10. :cool: Listen, we get it, you suspect that you may be able to wheedle some advantage out of Oceania being so new in the Australian Trade, since the AU pricing requirements are so very different from those of North America and Europe. We can't fault you for that, better in your pockets then theirs and all of that, but it isn't necessary to cast aspersians of untoward behavior. -and by the way, when your Computer prevents you from seeing ANYTHING that goes against your position.....it looks like your just not trying ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
