DachshundsRule Posted June 5, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 5, 2023 If I order a glass of wine before dinner, in a lounge of bar, is this included in the House Select beverage package? The "with lunch and dinner" wording is making me nervous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remembered...the OLife option is going to have a change in (I think) July-ish, but details have not been released to the public. The word on the street says that people already signed up for the OLife option will have the choice of keeping the existing plan or switching to the new plan (or of course dropping the OLife option). I would wait to see what the new plan contains if you are not sailing soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LHT28 Posted June 5, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Probably best to wait & see what the new deal will be before speculating Oceania has it's own way of doing things 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya think, I'm not a big wine drinker but I can usually only find one or two that I can tolerate. I'll see what I think this time next week, oh wait, I didn't get the drink package, I went for excursions this time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would wait to see what the new plan contains if you are not sailing soon. I heard that the new plan will be more expensive than what we booked. The drinks will be at lunch or dinner only. We don't eat lunch and enjoy poolside drinks so this package doesn't sound good for us. Everyone is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSFrance69 Posted June 17, 2023 #14 Share Posted June 17, 2023 You can upgrade your package to premium, which includes all drinks, at any hour. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall it was $30PP/PD. We did it, so we could go care free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly all will be revealed on 1 July. But if things are as expected then if you have the Simply MORE programme wines at meals will be included and you can upgrade to the full programme for $30.

That's a crazy amount $60x16= $960 for dinner wine drinkers like us. I buy great wines in port and pay $25 corkage. There are also a number of parties where they serve alcohol. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that $30 pp pd is for the full alcohol package anytime, as in the current prestige package. But the included wines are the same for both packages at this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambagahle Posted June 19, 2023 #18 Share Posted June 19, 2023 We prefer to not worry about costs. Don't want to be sitting down for lunch, ordering bloody marys and then wonder how much we will pay... To us it is worthwhile getting it all included. And these days with the USD where it is, we get a 10% discount anyway. More sometimes... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hambagahle Posted June 20, 2023 #20 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I think the current $30 pp per day is for wine and beer at lunch only. for the full package it is $69 pp/day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
