About the silver level discount on the beverage package…..

I was told it only applies if you purchase the full package, and not if Upgrading from the basic package included with SM or OLife.

The language on their Oceania club benefits website says, "10% SAVINGS ON THE PRESTIGE SELECT BEVERAGE PACKAGE", which in a SimplyMore world is just the upgrade.  We have been given the 10% discount for our last two cruises, once we could prove that we had booked and paid in advance.

 

I do not doubt you were told that it applies only if you book the full package, as I had 3 different interpretations of whether I was eligible or not from Reception / Executive Concierge staff.

 

My feeling is that if it no longer applies in a SimplyMore world, remove it from the list of Oceania Club benefits.  Clearer language would not hurt.

 

Cheers,

Greg from the WildWanderers

The discount is only $3 a day. The upgrade costs $30 so on a 10 night cruise if you book the day after you board works out the same price! 
Longer cruises different story!

Yes, but on a 10 day cruise that is a $30 savings. But I agree, when we do upgrade to the full package we wait until at least the third day or more. Second night is usually Captain's Welcome, free drinks for 3 hours, no need for a package that day, then a couple of days later is the repeaters party, and if you're like us you get invited to two of them, so free drinks those nights. Fill that in wine & beer at lunch and dinner and we're good. It seems like our days of the upgrade on Oceania are numbered.
