Ted, as I recall you've posted positive experiences about Oceania so I will be very interested if you decide that Regent is worth the extra expense. As was said, it can pay for a lot of wine and excursions. When I think about trying Oceania, I gravitate toward the Marina, though I'll be curious to read reviews once she's actually sailing. Also, fares on her will be closer to Regent, especially if one wants a PH.

It's a nice dilemma to be facing.
