We did 2 weeks on Regatta over Christmas. I have to agree with your comment: "... it is ok, but not great". Regatta is the older and smaller ship - rooms teeny tiny. We too got a drink package for the same reason, but warn George that even though you don't have to "sign" for every drink, they are compulsive about asking for your key card every time so they are sure to get the gratuity (it's included in the package, but the server who swipes your card get's awarded the gratuity, so most of them ask for it right away!).

Looking forward to your review. We probably won't go back to Oceania.
