Review summary

Oceania is a great food and service oriented line. I will sail again on the MArina and the Riviera , the 2 bigger ships with bigger staterooms and bathrooms and closet. The Nautica, Sirena and Insigna and Regatta are all smaller therefore have tiny cabins and very tiny bathrooms. I will not ever sail on these 4 ships nor can I recommend it for any one else. The Marina and Riviera are fabulous and its the same price per person per day. So bigger is better on the Oceania ships

Ship Quality

ship was clean BUT the design results in very very tiny cabins. Ship is due to be remodeled soon Millions of $$ will be spent but the cabins and toilet will remain the same. Tiny and tiny (unless you get to penthouse or above

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
for a 26 day cruise the closet was too small. The bathroom just slightly bigger that airplane toilet. Don't drop the soap in the shower. Cannot sit straight on toilet, REAL SAD !!!. And the sad part is thet the daily price per peerson is the same as the bigger sister ships. REAL RIP-OFF

Ship tip

DONT unless you get a penthouse or above cabins. Please DONT !!!!

this applies to Holyhead also..Due to storm at Glaskow, Oceania and Capstain took the safer route to avoid any incident even if it was an over cautious stance on their part. Weather in liverpool was fair ,windy but fair and not as dangerous as glaskow .

Dublin, Ireland
