We were very impressed with the ship, staff and service. We had heard great things about Oceania, and our experience was consistent with those recommendations. St. Petersburg was fantastic, but other ports of call, such as Tallinn, Gdansk and Riga, were more interesting and beautiful than anticipated. The variety of tours offered makes for some difficult choices, but we were pleased for the most part with our selections. By the time we reached Amsterdam and Bruges, we were ready to explore on our own and sample the local fare.
The evening entertainment and after-hours dancing in Horizons was great fun, and an unexpected bonus.
We had high expectations for the food and overall were satisfied. A few dishes were unsatisfactory, but quickly replaced by the attentive staff. Don't miss the Sea Bass at Red Ginger - outstanding!

The bed and linens were very comfortable, and we found ample storage for our needs. Could have used another electrical outlet, as most devices need recharging. Loved having the veranda and enjoyed watching as we pulled into or out of the various ports.
Ship tip
Took advantage of the wine package -- seven bottles for a fixed price and good savings opportunity. We also enjoyed having a drink at the Marina Lounge at Happy Hour.
This is a long day with 3 hours each way by bus to Berlin. Glad we went, but Berlin is a large city to sample in a day. Some of the sights were a quick drive-by, but then we spent more time than necessary at the Allied museum.
Visited the Rijkjsmuseum. Very impressed. Get there early! All the museums become overly crowded in the afternoon. Enjoyed lunch near the flower market and visiting the cheese shops.
We are cruising the Med in October on Merina, sounds like you had a great cruise, looking forward to ours v much. Did you use Oceania excursions, if so any advice to offer?
