Great thread Cindy.
I think all inclusive cocktails would be great and definetly longer cruises than 7 days.. who the heck wants to fly all the way to Europe for 7 days?
IMHO ofcourse..

I agree with Lawrence's post, gotta try Silverseas!
But, sort of disagree Lawrence when you say:
"Oceania is solving a number of interesting problems from beneath (not the same level of luxury and service but better itineraries in terms of destinations and length)".

Since I may be the only one who has cruised them alot, and I am sorry I am always bringing them up.. but hey .. I gotta tell you they are very luxurious.. their ships are gorgeous , they have butlers, gorgeous suites, fabulous food.... if they poured wines ( free) at dinner and allowed smoking on their balconies I am sure many of you would agree.. makes me very
curious what you guys define luxury to mean as far as cruise ships.
So perhaps new thread what is luxurious to me re: cruise ship.
