Since we happened to be able to access Oceania's pricing somewhere from these links, this is one more reason where I find the "value" to sailing on Regent, particularly in this part of the world where it may be more difficult to arrange your own excursions with known entities. Those to whom stateroom size does not matter would have a different opinion.
For a comparable stateroom to Regent, you would have to go to a Penthouse, which with excursions added, and drinks and wine if charged in the bars and dining room, I think Regent really wins on this one. I don't need all the extra amenities O supplies to this level, because I already have the ones I need or want. Even full internet not given at that level. Not sure if air is included either in those O prices. Anyway, just my take. But since I have never cruised on any of the O ships, I'm not qualified to comment on anything but the pricing. I already know I love all the Regent ships.
Totally agree! When I first learned about the Oceania offering last year I was going to book it. I think it was Marc who first mentioned Regent was changing the schedule around and they would be doing this itinerary. On the Nautica I'd be paying close to the same price for an inside cabin, whereas on Regent I just needed to find a roommate (thank you Lauri) and I'd be coming out so far ahead.
