Tn gal Posted June 30, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I am quite confused. If I do not take the “free” air, do I get my choice of 8 excursions, etc. how about Internet? Many thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartfelttraveler Posted June 30, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 30, 2019 You can take the O'Life package and then NOT take the air. Oceania will give you a credit on the cabin cost for the air. We have done this with the two Oceania cruise we have booked. (One taken, one coming up.) This worked out for us because we wanted to fly business with pre and post days added, and Oceania's prices were much higher than booking ourselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted June 30, 2019 #3 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I would compare the cruise only price against the O Life deal without air if you are doing your own sometimes you are paying for the O life perks that are non refundable Do the math before you commit Everyone get the free internet even those that do cruise only pricing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several choices when booking a cruise with Oceania: 1 Cruise only - no air (you get credit for it), no O Life 2 Cruise with O Life, no air (get credit 3 Cruise with air, no O Life. 4 Cruise with air and O Life. With O Life you choose one of 3 options: 1 excursions 2 beverage package 3 OBC Internet is included on all cruises.

And our guy at O said if we were interested in business class it wasn't a good idea. And IIRC on the air they choose the airline and the routing and if you want something else you pay a supplement. Not a lot but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammiedawg Posted July 7, 2019 #9 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Watch the fine print on Oceania business class as it may be restricted to gateway cities. We prefer using a consolidator for business class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked 'live' with an Oceania employee and he absolutely discouraged me from booking business with them. Plus the economy is the booking of their choice, i.e., we strongly prefer United out of Houston going to Rio but there are many other routings with multiple stops. If you want to have your choice then you pay a supplement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
