burfies Posted September 22, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Has anybody recently booked their next cruise whilst onboard ( UK Pounds) please? We are sailing next week on Rivera, but there is a particular cruise we wish to book & we wondered if there are any actual savings to be made, if we book on board rather than with the UK office, via an agent?? The Office in Southampton are not the brightest bunch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenndale Posted September 22, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 22, 2017 We have booked on board and from memory received $100 dollars OBC for the current cruise. The booking was transferred to our TA and he discounted Oceania's price. There was also a lowest price guarantee from Oceania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burfies Posted September 22, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Hi, thanks for the reply. can you remember did you pay a reduced deposit? I have tried looking on the net & cannot find out any info about the benefits of booking on board! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted September 22, 2017 #4 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Usually a reduced deposit OBC for current cruise plus OBC for the cruise you are booking some will have a discount of some % depending on the sailing Probably something else I have forgotten maybe the search feature here "booking onboard" will bring up some threads on the topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classiccruiser777 Posted September 22, 2017 #5 Share Posted September 22, 2017 We were on Insignia three weeks ago and booked two cruises. The per person deposit was $250 compared to $750 if we booked while home. For each cruise we received an additional $100 OBC ($200 total) for the cruise we were on and the fares were about $200 less than advertised on the Oceania website. The bookings were immediately transferred to our TA who then added prepaid gratuities and post cruise rebate checks of $350 for each cruise. As Glendale mentioned we also have the low price guarantee which is good through the day of boarding. This guarantee also includes added amenities, if any. I did ask the sales person if the same terms are applicable for U.K. passengers and she said yes. For U.K. passengers the deposit she quoted was £200 per person.

sitraveler Posted September 22, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Unless O has changed, pnly 1 $100.00 OBC. It didn't matter how many cruises you booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris86 Posted September 22, 2017 #7 Share Posted September 22, 2017 We are undecided on our next sailing and already have a couple booked for 2018. So opted for the open sailing version. It was $100 pp more for this deposit but we have 2 years to assign it to a sailing. I understood you receive $100 obc for each room booked.

It's $100 for each cruise you book, so if you book 2 cruises you get $200 OBC for your current cruise. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
