Critically Cruising

Which limits you tremendously. Try ITA Matrix. https://matrix.itasoftware.com So, a one-connection itinerary via LHR is fine, but a one-connection itinerary via Lisbon (MAN-LIS-MIA) is not acceptable?

Not sure where you are getting that 2000 pound number. I can see flights from MAN to MIA for about 320 pounds one-way, on TAP via Lisbon. And lots of options around 500 round-trip. But then, without dates, who can say.

Whatever tickets someone else got in the past has zero relevance to what the current contract situation is with Oceania. You are at the mercy of what is in their allocated inventory, not what is available to the general public.

Say what you will about Etro, but at least it was easy to tell which was the shampoo vs the conditioner vs the shower gel -- by the color of the packaging. Even without your glasses. And those small caps are problematic. Hey....gotta complain about something.....

"How determined they are to stick to their grudges". There....fixed it for you.

Maybe it was put there to be a contrast with the other, better specimens. And FWIW, Berkeley and Bloom were on Silversea for years. Hopefully they have not taken away Botanist.

Wondering if that is a self-leveling pool table, or if one will have to use some windage judging how the ship is moving?
