PSR Posted July 8, 2023 #26 Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) 10 minutes ago, gentlemancruiser said: So what does the Prestige Select Beers, Wine, Spirits($94.07/day) have that makes it so much more expensive over the Presitge Package($40.33/day). Is there a now a limited on drinks the $40.33/day package? Or is this the pricing for the new pricing for the simply program? I’m a relative newbie but I think the higher price is for the Prestige package if you don’t already have the House package and the lower price is to upgrade to Prestige from House. Oops! Guess I typed too slowly…. Edited July 8, 2023 by PSR 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The $40.33 per day Prestige package is the cost to upgrade from the House Select, should you chose the House select as your OLife benefit, or should you buy the House Select package outright. The quoted section says it is an Upgrade price. The $94.07 per day Prestige package is the cost if you buy it from the get-go. If you add the the House select package to the Prestige upgrade ($53.73 pp + $40.33 per person) you find it's cost is the same at the cost of the Prestige package ($94.07), as buying House package then upgrading it to the Prestige package ($94.06...rounding issue). The Prestige package is the same either way. Edited July 8, 2023 by 1985rz1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so then if you want to upgrade to the Prestige it will be $40.33 CAD or $30 USD pd If you do not have the House select package and you want the Prestige package it is $94 CAD per day All are PP rates 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seemed strange and rather confusing that when I've already purchased O life select package at booking that I can then buy that same package again without being stopped or warned that I already have the select package on my booking.... The Oceania website really lacks clarity for anyone who is already booked select and then wants to upgrade, I only know I have the select package from my original confirmation, but it doesn't appear on the site that I have select pakcage inlcuded. I guess it would be too difficult to put some additional wording on to the site to help explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the right should be the Final Payment button. Click on this and it should bring up a sheet which should indicate which selections, etc. you have made under the Amenities section. At least it does for me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you need is the booking number and cruise info and the TA would use the Oceania booking number in their paperwork also. You have to have your account set up and then upload existing bookings.

It's the same price before the cruise or on board however on board you can wait until after the Captains reception (free drinks) on the second night, upgrade on the third day and save $60.00. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is from the "Simply More FAQ" Can guests upgrade to a more robust Beverage Package that includes wines and spirits in addition to lunch and dinner? Guests may upgrade to the Prestige Select Beverage Package for $30 per guest, per day. This may be done in advance of sailing or once on board. I just read on their FAQ that both people don’t have to upgrade. That works for me as my husband doesn’t drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
