FWIW...We are traveling multi city transatlantic cruise ending Rome with a 4 night stay, Rome to London 2 nights and back AZ. Flights are all First class/Business class, total FF miles pp125K. We did Oceania air in 2005, there were approximately 20 fellow cruisers that did not make the flight ATL-BCN for embarkation. The ones that chose to take a later flight 4 days later joined the cruise in Lisbon. From that day forward we always make our own air arrangements.
