Review summary

Excellent cruise on Oceana. One of my favourite P&O ships.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Efficient, it was staggered due to inbound flight times

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food in the Adriatic Restaurant (MDR) was outstanding from start to finish, the waiters were extremely helpful and they didn’t get in the way. The buffet was efficient and clean, the food was also to a high standard. Cafe Jardín was also really good.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The entertainment wad great, we participated in ballroom dancing and other classes/lectures. The area around the forward splash pool was very quiet so it was very enjoyable. The main pool wasn’t great as it was a little bit crowded and loud for my liking.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The stage shows were alright however they were a little bit repetitive and the performers weren’t the best. The singers were borderline dreadful however it was entertaining (possibly for the wrong reasons). The piano player in the atrium was amazing

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff were fantastic. Everyone I met was extremely friendly and they couldn’t do enough for you. Our butler was outstanding.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Oceana is an older ship however she doesn’t show any signs of ageing. Oceana provides a pleasant and comfortable sailing. P&O provide an amazing experience on Oceana, it’s clean and well maintained

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Orissa Suite. Clean and comfortable.
