Review summary

We chose this cruise as a way to see many ports that we had not visited, but in particular, Easter Island, Lima (Peru), Belfast and Dublin.  We were not disappointed in the itinerary.  As we have sailed on Oceania many times, we anticipated that the service would be friendly and efficient and the food terrific.  Once again, Oceania came through with a great cruise experience.

Not really "show" people. Didn't attend the evening performances. Lectures were great.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This cabin is quite a bit forward and thus is very quiet. Very comfortable.

Ship tip

Take advantage of the specialty restaurants but checking with the reservation desk first thing in the morning. If you are willing to eat early (6:30 pm) or late (8 :00 pm) you can usually get as many reservations as you desire.
