Rare ORV Posted February 16, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I know this has been posted many times but I can't seem to find the Terms and Conditions on this and the way it works. I realize it's only certain cruises, and there's a link in the email that takes you to them. What I can't find is how it works. There is a link on the cruise I'm looking at for the special offer T & C, but when you click it it doesn't explain the details, just says contact your Travel professional for pricing. I think it's within the category, and excludes the top suites. Does it start at the b-4 level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted February 16, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2022 reading the T & C s for WINTER SALE https://www.oceaniacruises.com/legal/promotion-terms/ It does not say if any Categories are except from the promotion that I could see Not much about the category upgrade at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMHuntFerry Posted February 16, 2022 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I looked at 3 itineraries that interested me. The sale/upgrade prices were listed instead of the pre-sale prices. What you see on the website is the current sale price if it is part of the sale. Hope that answered your question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, it is restricted to some of the lower levels. I don’t have anymore details than that….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, one itinerary I looked at had a PH3 for the price of an A1. PH3 price went from $5199 to $4249, a $950 savings; the next best savings was $450 for a B4 at the C price.

I do not think that is the case I have seen posts where people went from A to PH Top suites are probably excluded or difficult to use the upgrade promo JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks that is helpful. It seems they would have gotten more mileage out of this promotion if they'd listed these savings on the itinerary page.

There is a pdf from a few days ago too....I'll see if it's still on CC... Here it is (scroll down until you see a pdf): Edited February 16, 2022 by AMHuntFerry added link to pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted February 16, 2022 #9 Share Posted February 16, 2022 so it looks like only A & B categories are in the upgrade sale you can go from A to PH or B to A categories 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why Oceania doesn't just link this on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look at the difference in price between a PH3 and and a PH2 . If that difference is more than 400/500 pp you are seeing the Category upgrade price. On the lower categories you should see the top of one category and the bottom of the next level at the same price. Never includes top 3 suite levels and you can't go from Concierge to a PH2 or 1.

davencl Posted February 17, 2022 #13 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I guess I wouldn't call this a category upgrade sale. It's really just a sale of higher categories reduced to a lower category price. I.E. you don't book a lower category and then get upgraded. I suppose from a sales perspective calling it an upgrade sounds better.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartlander1965 Posted February 17, 2022 #18 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I don't really understand what's available to me in this promotion? So if I want to book the cheapest B level with Veranda, what else is available for me to upgrade to? I went through the booking process, and though my cruise is eligible, I'm not seeing a way to upgrade for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm understanding others here correctly, I believe the price for the sale is built in and already listed. Or if you're really serious contact your TA or if you don't use one call Oceania. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
