That’s a very good saving! We have a future cruise certificate to use, so I decided I might as well try and grab something. I have to say my excitement level isn’t what it normally is for booking a cruise, but I do love Oceania and think that the events last week were a low point they will never hopefully replicate with anyone. We have Christmas on Riviera this year to see how they do and then today’s booking which is a PH3 on Sirena for an east - west TA. Oceania did not manage to get my preferred cabin choice of 8000 (I probably did not help myself by broadcasting what a great cabin it is) and we have been allocated 8063 which is under terrace seating area, but a carpeted seating area so hopefully that will mitigate any problems. When I got the email I checked to see what was left available in PH3’s and there were 4 left, so hot cakes it would seem. I am pleased I have a PH and am pleased I chose Sirena, as upon reflection and barring a miraculous reimagining of Marina or Riviera, she appears to be my favourite ship.

I saw shorts after 6 in the Terrace on Sirena (a transatlantic, where I think things were more relaxed anyway) and on Marina last week (which was port intensive). Personally I don’t have a problem with longish smart shorts there. I think I might raise an eyebrow in the GDR or a speciality.

Apologies if the pop culture reference doesn;’t work for some readers, but for UKers at least it will. So bookings open in a few hours for 2024, I rang Oceania this morning here in the UK and they took the details for what I am interested in and are going to attempt to get it for me when bookings open. What did you go for and did you get it? Once I get what I want I will let Marital Unit know what we are doing 😉

Probably all upside down as I used portrait mode. I hope these are useful for you Dan. Ask away will do my best to answer any questions.
