And, thanks to Candice for the Oceania information.

There is a Yahoo Group called "Oceania Cruiser" that might be useful.

On our cruise last month on Celebrity's Infinity, the corkage was $15.00 and the cocktail prices throughout the ship were expensive which seems to be the trend on all cruises. We were forbidden to bring bottles aboard, but they were not especially diligent about confiscating any we brought aboard during port stops.

Our cruise last year on Holland America had a somewhat similar policy but the atmosphere in the lounges was so professional and polished that we never seemed to mind.

We are booked on Oceania's Insignia for Dec to South America.
