Vicki,

I don't think it's the intent of anyone who has addressed and given their opinions on Liz's situation to force or expect Liz to do anything she chooses not to do. Suggestions and opinions should be given without any expectations. Suggestions and opinions are just that. Take from them what you will. Certainly not a directive or badgering on what Liz should or should not do.

Liz,

I apologize if my comments and suggestions were taken in the wrong context. Your initial post opened up a dialogue and enlightened us on your experiences sailing with Oceania. Regardless of what you do, if anything, I respect your decision. Hopefully, your next cruising experience will be a far more favorable one. I wish you the best.
