CJ, Ngaire loves the open seating...like all of us I imagine.
I'm not familiar with Oceania at all but personally love the longer cruises over the short ones. I guess the limited smoking areas (not on your own balcony) is a deal breaker for me too. (My husband quit almost 5 months ago. Though I've cut way down, I still indulge so a "smoking allowed balcony" is important to me).
