Ellen,

We just booked the July '06 Athens - Instanbul, too! We're veteran Radisson cruisers, but prefer 10 -12 night cruises. It seems Radisson is mainly in a 7-night pattern in Europe.

We heard a lot of favorable comments regarding Oceania from fellow passengers on our recent Crystal Harmony SF/Alaska cruise (while they were grumbly about declining Crystal service standards).

Unless they're holding some cabins back during their 2-fo-1 promotion, it's true that they're booking quickly on this cruise. I was told we got one of the last two available B2 veranda cabins.

We looking forward to experiencing Oceania on the Nautica.
