Wayne,
Thank You for your review. As somebody considering an Oceania cruise in the future your review is very helpful.
Of all the observations you raise, the one about people "saving" chairs by the pool is the one that gives me pause. This is one of the reasons I refuse to go back to the megaliners ( right after the fact that the megaleners carry over 2,000 people). I have to say that turns me off immediately. It might be a minor point to others and I guess if you're going on a port intensive cruise is not that important; however, to me it says a lot about the people on the cruise.
