I'm so confused with membership awards at this time that I should probably just stop reading. But I AM still reading, and now wondering: I'm silver, cruising on Regatta in mid December, not on a "milestone" cruise (assume that's first cruise in a new level like silver?) and I could actually use a nice, heavy duty tote bag even if it's emblazoned with "Oceania Cruises" (is it?) Do you think I'll get my tote bag, and my husband his hat? Edited November 15, 2019 by roothy123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think I'll get my tote bag, and my husband his hat? I would think so but maybe Lou will report later when he gets his .....Finally I think some staff onboard are confused by the new perks It must be a logistical nightmare to go around to all the cabins of those at the Loyalty level (Bronze +) that will get the Bags/hats/wine when they could be any cabin on the ship as opposed to those in Concierge & above where they know ALL those cabins get the tote & Champagne JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "milestone" cruise is that cruise where you will hit 20 cruise credits (i.e., Gold) and have your complimentary cruise (as long as you follow the booking deadlines/guidelines).

Oh right, and we paid for them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh right, and we paid for them. LOL Cath! Love you! HAL is going through so much crap with CEO Orlando Ashford changing our loyalty status with our 5 Star Mariners which I am one! I can care less having a tote or a new hat but taking away or changing status with dining, gratuities it is so sad! At this point we don’t care! New to O and that is fine! Travel to us needs to be relaxing more upscale and really I am so disappointed with loyalty where after 15 plus years with HAL They don’t care about loyalty, they are going to a new venue and larger ships.! Right now on HAL you pay for WiFi BUT IT CAN BE USED FOR 2 people in stateroom! Now it is only for one device and you have to pay for a second device to have WiFi! Nickel and dimming!! At least for those really concerned with O’s Loyalty you have so much more go to HAL’S board and see how everyone is upset. You guys are lucky IMO. Sorry please don’t t be upset with me because I am new to O! Just my Opinion and I can understand all’s concern but you sure do have more with O than I have with HAL! Oh big deal I get 50% off at Pinnicale Grille and free laundry. I’d love to have a free cruise! Cath so enjoy your trip to Rio!!! Count down!

I was truly referring to the caps and totes issue only. And, hey, this is going to be our first O cruise. When do you leave?

Where? We fly back into SF on 12/24 and will stay there for two nights. Really just to give our sitter some extra time. We'll come back and then spend NYE at Yosemite. Looking forward to those "good eats." Guess we should let this go back on topic 🙂 xoc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who had their Loyalty OBC substantially reduced and replaced with a bag and cap, on our recent cruise they were returned to Customer Service with a short note. However, for those who are newer to O, I completely understand why these items can be appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthnlarry Posted January 11, 2020 #73 Share Posted January 11, 2020 We disembarked Riviera in December, and did not get the cap or tote even though they were listed as a silver amenity on our invoice. We asked the OC ambassador, and she said that they ran out of the caps and totes. Weren't expecting much, but OC can't even honor their reduced benefits. This is not the first time that we have encountered problems with OC. Previously, we had to meet with the GM because we didn't get our prepaid gratuities. The ambassador on ship wouldn't do anything. She said it wasn't her job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People on HAL treat their faux presents like national treasures... amusing as to why people faun over sill trinkets and dime store "presents".... Just be happy with the cruise experience...
