As you guys know we tend to book early.. 50 % of our choices aren't currently available, but i want to be ready to pounce when it is ..

My question is simple..

Should we go on the new Century for our first TA adventure to Amsterdam a ship which we love or upscale our Cruise experience and try Oceania Cruise Lines ...

What would you do?

If it was me, I'd probably go with Oceania. Why? Well it's a very casual (no tie reqd) laid back cruiseline. There's not a huge crowd of guests as the ships are on the smaller side (under 55000 tons) The food is of the very highest calibre. Officers mix freely with the guests including the captain making the atmosphere most enjoyable. You are not likely to be bothered by young children or loud teenagers although there doesn't appear to have lots of activities compared to Celebrity.

I will be interested to hear of your decision.

Regards,

James.

I am like you Joey, I tend to book early also (in fact I have a list with my vacation plans for the next 5 years). I am planning a Scandinavian cruise on the Century (my first time with Celebrity), I did read some good reviews about them, plus because of my credit card points, I can get $1,000.00 off the cruise price. I did get a brochure and I think a DVD from Oceania last week, and their ships look fabulous, I would probably book my Asian cruise with them.

Oceania cruises out of:

Asia: Hong Kong, Beijing, Bangkok Singapore

Mediterranean: Barcelona, Rome, Venice, Athens, Istanbul

I did a Mediterranean cruise in June on Carnival Liberty and it was wonderful.

We really want to do a TA at least Once...I have always wanted to go to Amsterdam so the cruise over ..3 or 4 days in Amsterdam.. then Eurail to Paris for another few days then home.. this of course would be our fantasy itinerary...

I really feel Transatlantic will be our vacation in 08... I just need to decide on the mode and expiernece...we will be able to do.. and of course Price will be a factor .. But I wont let a few hundred stand in the way...
