Festive Carib ... $s Saved

Oceania began a Memorial Day Sale yesterday. Reviewing the list of cruises to which the sale applies, I noted that our RTW2023 precursor cruise to the Caribbean was included.

The sale is for a 4-category upgrade ... for new bookings. Darn! Not that we wanted to upgrade our cabin, really. That would mean moving cabins on turnaround day in Miami when the 198-day version of RTW2023 begins. I just wanted to take advantage of the lower pricing for our current cabin category.

Hmmm! Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Right? So, I sent off an email to see if we could reprice the cruise under the sale fare and keep the same cabin. Turns out that we could.

The revised invoice was in my inbox this morning. We've repriced cruises before, but this time the new fare is saving us a really nice chunk of change.

Any savings is a good savings I say.Read more
