Well I do hope I'm not being too hard on Oceania, as I know many people have had wonderful experiences on them. But I couldn't ignore the many reports of service that may be satisfactory for a premium mass-market line, but is less than we'd expect from a luxury line. I might even be willing to put up with that for the exotic itinerary at such an amazing price.

But given the nickel & diming, and the outrageous prices for everything, there goes the amazing price. If I'm going to pay the big bucks anyway, I'm going for the best.

So I'm happy to be "home". :)
