Trying to complete some purchases for upcoming VISTA cruise.....and am not able to find where to book the Le Reserve dinners and to pre-pay gratuities.....I managed to get my hubby's in my cart a while back....wanted to add my beverage package and these other items too....but cannot find what tab they are under.  If no one answers this, I will just call Oceania tomorrow....but wanted to go ahead and get this out of the way tonight....

 

Thanks!

My understanding is that, right now and for the time being, LaReserve can only be booked onboard.

AFAIK, Le Reserve isn't bookable on the website, but for beverage packages:

Thanks so much!  How about the prepaid gratuities?

AFAIK, no pre-paid gratuities option on O's website.

 

FWIW, I've never seen what benefit pre-paid gratuities (except by a third party 😉 ) was to a cruiser.  It only lets you board with a "fresh wallet", encouraging you to more impulse spends aboard.

Actually there is, it's under the Beverage Packages.

Thanks for all the opinions! lol.....I handled the three issues with a phone call....and for the record all Le Reserve are now only being booked "onboard".....(thanks guys for letting me know this already!)......

Booked my Prestige Beverage Package....and both hubby and my Prepaid gratuities.....

And I DO understand the reluctance to not prepay these items....but I just HATE all of the things that need to be handled once onboard - as I just then want to be on vacation.  Also, to pay these things helps make my onboard final bill a "bit" more palatable as my casino charges make ALL of the other invoices look minute! lol!

Thanks for all of your input....and by the way, while on the phone with Oceania, I managed to book yet another cruise!  Only wish these agents that you reach at Oceania were a bit more friendly.....as I truly do HATE having to call in....which should NOT be the case when you are spending additional tens of thousands of dollars......but that has been my experience for the past couple of years.....sad......
