Oceania - Panama.

[Cirrus S20]

I have been reading mixed reviews re Oceania. My major concern is regarding the Restraunts and the pre booking required. Also the Port of Call. There seems little information available on them.
Is there anyone who can shed some light on this for me? My purpose in taking a cruise is to escape stress and not become involved in jostling for a place to eat.
Are there corkage charges as I have several very expensive wines I would like to take with me to have at dinner?
Assistance will be greatly accepted!

My wife was on Oceania earlier this year and I was on the Regatta a couple of years ago.

will lead you to my wife's review and

will lead you to mine. I found Oceania to be a great value. The restaurants were excellent and the food and service typical of a luxury cruise.

We never had a problem gaining entrance to any restaurant. I am not sure of your itinerary, so I can't comment on the ports. Are you doing the Eastern or Western Med?
