The new Oceania Riviera ......
Paul: Yes, there were a lot of lessons learned no doubt but overall I think
Oceania did a great job considering it was their first newbuild and there were a lot of fingers in that pie stirring things up. It is a year away and most likely you will be ready for it by then. There is something exciting about being the first passengers on a ship though and I really think we will be there for the maiden of the Riviera no matter what. It will not be a Transatlantic I do know that for sure so we will package both pre and post activities for our travel mates. We just do not like to fly that far just for a cruise, we need to maximise the experience as much as possible. Hopefully we can put together a great adventure at a very reasonable cost. The cruise portion will sell out quickly as did the Marina. Bob Binder told me Saturday that he is being personally pestered by people who want to book now, pay the full amount, and then worry about which cabin later. Everyone will have to wait for antoher two weeks though. Look us up on Facebook by doing a search for "Oceania by Cal" and give us a like. All the details will be posted there. Cal Ford Lido Deck Cruises In article , Paul Johnson says... "Cal Ford" wrote in message ... We have advance information concerning the Maiden voyage of the Sister of the Marina. Schedule looks like April of 2012 but we know the definitive scoop. Let's see who is paying attention. Cal Ford Lido Deck Cruises I suspect that they will be a little more cautious in bring out Riviera. There was much unfinished work on Marina when it pulled away from Barcelona. Having said that, we did really enjoy making the maiden voyage, but we will most likely pass on Riviera. |

That was what I liked most about taking the Regatta! I enjoyed her much more taking her trans-Atlantic than when we took her in the Caribbean. ;-( The long flights to and from Europe are what really is tiring. I wish they would create some itineraries that you could take a TA and then a 4-5 days later, take a TA back! I'd be the first to sign up! --Jean |

The new Oceania Riviera ......
If it's anywhere near the success of the first "Riviera" cruise ship the
it will be amazing. The Marconi, was purchased for $2.5 million and $38 million to refurbish it and launched the "cruising Italian Style"ambiance that has made Costa Europe's largest, and most profitable cruise line. |
