I think the topic here is comparing Azamara, Oceania & Princess not the luxury lines where you pay more upfront & more is included in the fare.
For basic services they compare (not including the new ship Marina which will have extra fees for certain dining venues & Culinary classes)
On Oceania you pay for the usually spa services, alcoholic drinks, personal shopping, internet & excursions
On Azamara you pay for all of the above with the exception of wine with lunch & dinner, there is an extra charge for the specialty restaurants
Azamara & Oceania are very close in what they offer ...neither are luxury line but above the mass market lines
People can decide what works best to suit their lifestyle
