Thanks for the insights! I didn't think about the smaller ship feeling the seas more - we were on the PG for our honeymoon, but just around French Polynesia, so no problems then obviously. We've never had sea sick issues (knock on wood) but will definitely keep that in mind if an opportunity like this ever arrives.

We had our first sea days (2) last year on the Mariner in Alaska - we figured out we really like them - at least until we retire, relaxing on vacation is the only chance we get. Sometimes trying to squeeze everything into the port days can be exhausting - in a really good way of course!

Well, like I said, we can't go - but we can dream, and this sure makes a nice dream!
