Kathy, Thanks for your thorough review. I think you have caused us to reconsider Oceania for some itineraries, for example, the Baltics. I have always felt that to compare apples and apples, one needed to book a PH on Oceania. However, even doing that seems to involve a notable per diem savings for the Baltics, given Oceania's much longer itinerary and Regent's relatively high Baltic fares. In addition, we don't drink that much, and CCC sure makes packing easier. I'm sure we could live with signing for water and soft drinks.
