Thanks Jan for your good wishes.

Eric - I really think you will like Oceania just fine! We were plesantly surprised -- for a ship where you "pay as you go" so to speak, and after three RSSC's in a row, we had no problem. Met really nice, well traveled, friendly people (even ran into some people we had cruised HAL with a couple of years ago, not to mention a couple from the Voyager Monte Carlo to Rome segment from last year). Food was wonderful, staff was outstanding and we enjoyed all the restaurants. Just go into it planning to enjoy it. Can't answer your question about the wine, as we did mostly just the house wine's and they were great. We also did both of the wine taste's offered and enjoyed them.

Again, will start to work on the report as soon as we get to Nashville and I recover from the 10 hour drive (thats of course if we are lucky - could be more) and get my thoughts together.
