Review summary
The weather, obviously, did not cooperate, and the Captain did everything he could to make sure we were safe and visited new area. (Hiva Oa). Made the best of it, and Oceania came through.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Toscana
Had a nice special dinner in this venue. Thanks to the staff for a great time.
Waves Grill
The Waves grill is only open for breakfast and lunch. On other Oceania ships, they have converted this to an evening pizzeria with hot wings, etc. They may want to consider that sometime
The Grand Dining
Nothing like the “grand” experience you receive in this wonderful restaurant. A simple dress code (no shorts or flip-flops) helps keep it glamorous. Excellent food, as always
Polo Grill
Excellent surf and turf, as always.
Lounge / Dance Floor
A little crowded as this is a smaller ship, but all shows were very crowded
Baristas
My spouse ordered triple skinny vanilla cappuccinos, and they remembered her from day one. I changed mine daily, and they did a great job.
Terrace Café
Easy to find a seat. Excellent service and always ready to fill your wineglasses

Ship tip
Book specialty restaurants early, as they fill up quickly. You can always check daily for any openings, though.
