roger b Posted January 23, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I booked a future cruise whilst on Marina ,Miami to Miami on 6/12/2022 , a flyer was sent every suite offering a $300 O.B.C per stateroom for booking on board either to be added to existing voyage or could be taken on a future cruise and I also have it in writing from the cruise consultant these facts, I elected to take it on the future cruise I had booked. I queried this and he told me it would be sent to my travel agent, This was not done in raising the issue with Oceania ,they have told me that it was mistake on the cruise consultant part and there was no $300 O.B.C offered for the cruise I had booked. As I no longer have the flyer I wonder if anyone who was on this cruise or still had the flyer could confirm Oceania's O.B.C offer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare loriva Posted January 23, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Not sure about your specific case but do know that some benefits or offers are not combinable with all fare types. For example, we booked a Florida Residents' fare and could not receive the OBC from either our NCLH stock or AmEx CPP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The normal amount of OBC was $100 - the $300 was a limited time offer. It should have been on the letter that was sent with your paper work. It should have been on the Oceania booking that was provided to you. Edited January 23, 2023 by PaulMCO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim and Monika Posted January 23, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I have to ask, did you do more than 1 booking onboard? We booked 1 and received the $300 and then got a flyer for $100 on another booking. In the past when we booked more than 1 onboard, the $300 was for the 1st and the other was only $100.

mjox32 Posted January 23, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 23, 2023 It will be on Page 3 or 4 of your Guest Statement you received when booking your cruise. It will be under Amenities and Gifts. This is what you are looking for--- - US$200 Onboard Booking Shipboard Credit Offer 2Voy * 267.00 We booked a b2b and got 2x$100. The $267 is converted to CAD funds $300 is a good deal! 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, the fine print says “up to” $300 (or something to that effect). i do know from past experience that the “book onboard bonus SBC” does not apply to all cruises.

This what the letter said : Shipboard Credit Amenity: We are pleased to provide you with a special US$300 per stateroom Shipboard Credit, which will be applied to the future cruise you have selected. Please note that should you elect to cancel this reservation, you will forfeit this special amenity. Now they want to go back on it ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pinotlover Posted January 23, 2023 #8 Share Posted January 23, 2023 During our cruise in Oct/Nov, Oceania was offering a $300 OBC amount for any book cruise or FCC booked abroad. I don’t know when they reverted back to $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know when they reverted back to $100. FWIW. During our 12/28/2022-1/15/2023 cruise on Insignia, we booked two cruises (one in 2024 and one in 2025), and purchased a Future Cruise Certificate. For both the 2024 cruise and the FCC, we received the $300 OBC per the promotion that expired on January 8, 2023/January 8, 2023, as the O Club Ambassador stressed to us and during her future cruise presentation on a sea day, along with being flagged in flyers distributed on board. For the 2025 cruise, comprised of two segments, we received $500 OBC, again per the promotion that expired on 1/8/2023 -- the day we booked it. The paperwork we received on all three transactions reflects the foregoing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted January 24, 2023 #17 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I booked one in Sept and got the $300 for the future cruise, I could have had it on the cruise we were on when we booked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
