Review summary

We took this cruise because of the itinerary and we had a great time and met some interesting people. This cruise had about 190+ people who were cruising around the world. For some of us who were not part of this “elite group”, felt like we were an afterthought. Everything was catered to them. But I guess, that’s understandable because that’s where the money is. But overall, our cruise was great and will cruise with Oceania again.

Ship tip

Wait until the ship is remodeled before you book. Also if you are prone to motion sickness, do not choose this ship because it rolls a lot even in calm seas.

Joining just one leg of a world cruise would make you kind of feel like an afterthought I would guess. Thanks for the insight. I will remember that if I ever have an opportunity to choose that.
