CruiseOrRust Posted February 2, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2023 We have an O cruise booked for early 2025 (first one with O). I booked OLife but with air credit (i.e. no air purchased). My Oceania rep tells me that I can add back air later (even 18 months later) for the same amount that was credited today. Is that the understanding of experienced O cruisers?

Is that the understanding of experienced O cruisers? Because we would never use O Air, I have not had the opportunity to test that assertion. However, I do know that I have occasionally seen different air credit amounts for the same cruise depending on when one looks at a possible new booking several times over time (it can go up/down/remain the same). That said, I also know that, if you rebook a cruise (e.g., to get a fare sale price), the add-ons (O Life, air etc) may be refigure to the currently available deal. So, I suggest that you get any promises from O (or a TA) in writing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetchpeople Posted February 2, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 2, 2023 And I suggest you add air now as you can always cancel it later But be sure you know the last date you can cancel the air 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted February 2, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 2, 2023 It depends on what the current rates are when you decide to add it back Also the closer to sailing if you decide to cancel the credit may be less than say 9 -10 mths from sailing I would add it in until the flight schedules come out for your sailing about 330 days out then you can see what the airlines have to offer JMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonthomas Posted February 2, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 2, 2023 our experience has been that add the air when booking and cancel later if you dont need it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseOrRust Posted February 2, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Thanks, all, for your timely feedback. It appears the best strategy is to include the air package and reevaluate when airlines publish fares for that period. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted February 2, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Prices change, I wouldn't bet on it staying the same. I do know that I've been told if I take the air, then decide later to cancel it that the credit might change. So, if the credit can change when it's removed, then it can probably change if it's added. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
