Thanks Claudia. I know you are our resident Oceania expert.

Good to know about the bringing of liquor and wines onboard. We love our champagne, but that could get really expensive real fast. I read the post over on CC with regards to bringing alchohol onboard and loved your response.

We were pretty well set to do our Lisbon to Genoa cruise on Silversea for April, but I saw this. $1899 for a balcony stateroom including airfare for 11 days. Sounds like an excellent deal and we have wanted to try a TA cruise anyways. If you back out the airfare, your per diem is under $100 per day.

One last question. How hard is it to get reservations at Toscana or Polo Grille and what is the best way to ensure a place?

If we decide on this, we will check with you on where to stay in Provence.

Looking forward to seeing you next week at Mimosa. I am sure that we will have more questions for you.

Thanks again for your help.
