If possible do your own air with ANY cruise is my motto :D
Take the air credit and book your own. Leaving YOUR schedule to someone else is always not a good thing.
If you must use the "O" ship air you can always get a deviation on their flights. I believe now they charge a deviation fee of $75 per person, you pick YOUR flights and tell them ( through your TA)what you want/flights times dates and airline and they will book you on those flights if the flights are available. If the flights cost more than the "cruise air allowance" then they will tell you what the difference is and you can then decide to take that in which case you pay the diff and the deviation fee or decide not to and to go with whatever they offer ( you then don't get charged the deviation fee) or just take the credit and buy your own tickets.
So there are choices to this thing called airline marathon flights ;)
