Glenda, I remember your posts many months ago in anticipation of this cruise. Although I was interested in hearing about your cruise, I sort of didn't think Oceana would interest me for many reasons, the prime one being "you get what you pay for" and this cruise was so inexpensive. Having been so pleased with Radisson's product, and based on your and many other reviews, I finally did a Silversea cruise, and was very pleased, just like you. I don't think there is any escape, you have to pick the line with the best value based on where you want to go. You can't do it based on price alone or itinerary alone. They have to give you what you want first, and then where you want to be, at whatever price. Then you decide. It is nice to have you among our board members once again!
