Ive recently become interested in Oceania cruises. However as an Australian resident Im having trouble working out if its in my price range. Im only generally looking atm but the pricing includes return airfares from north america. which is great if you are a north american resident, however how do I view cruise only prices?

Cruise lines generally have an air allowance (deduction) if you don't utilize their "free air." Check the fine print of whatever you're reading, or have an agent help you out.

The last time I looked at Oceania, in order to get "free air" or "two for one" cruise pricing, you had to pay brochure rate, you can find a fare better deal by booking them separately.

Oceania is no better or worse than any other line when it comes to airfare. Past 3 cruises I ended up booking my own. If you do, give yourself a few days ahead, because if you miss the connection to the cruiseship it is your problem.

Oceania? it is actually worth the higher fares. Food, service, inclusions, and less nickel and diming, ones evens out with HAL or Celebrity.

Just to be clear, I wasn't singling out Oceania and I agree that the vast majority of the time you can do far better yourself booking air.

Oceania just seem to make a bigger deal out of the free airfare etc

To answer your other question, yes in many ways they are better than HAL and Celebrity, IMHO they make a nice stepping stone towards the true 6 star lines.
