Interesting Marc, count us adding to that 400 # of reservations..we booked a 16 day SA cruise (BA
to Santiago)..per diem is less than $400 per day..whereas SS almost exact same 16 day itinerary, departs one day earlier (19 Dec 08)
is $625 per diem, Regent's SA per diem is 561,
Seabourn's, 531. Thanks to Chatkat's, Susan's, Claudia's and Jan's enthusiastic posts--we choose Oceania...saving 450 day vs SS, 320 day on Regent, and 260 on SB, obviously we can't drink that much per day. And we got a Penthouse
Cabin (323sq feet--comparable to any balcony
cabin on Regent--Claudia raves Oceania has the most beautiful ships at sea)--and no comparison for cabin on Seabourn; would have to pay 100 more for balcony on SS.
Hrprof (a Regent fan), is taking a 28 day (b2b) Oceania SA cruise next Feb (in owner's suite)--will be anxiously waiting his review...Wes
