Oceania Riviera
We have just booked a seven night trip on this ship - from Monte Carlo to Barcelona - at the most amazing price.
It includes all flights, transfers, gratuities, a reduced charge on internet access, which I understand to be fast, and the flight upgrade was an absolute steal. While not strictly necessary for a two hour flight, it doubles our luggage allowance, should we need it, and provides lounge access. The pre cruise hotel in Monte Carlo was expensive, but we wanted to stay there so we added it anyway. The cabin grade we have booked provides us with six, yes SIX bottles of spirits and/or wine in cabin - as I am a VERY light drinker, I think Mr D. Is going to have a VERY happy cruise!
All in all, it was too good to pass up and reading all the blurb I think we are going to like Oceania, though whether it exceeds Cunard's Queen's Grill remains to be seen. But I'm certainly looking forward to finding out!

Re: Oceania Riviera
Yes, I read Jane's views - they were partly responsible for us booking - good for business.
