Review summary

This was my first oceania cruise and the first cruise longer than 8 days for us. It will not be my last. What made the trip so enjoyable was not only the staff and the ports of call, but the passengers. They were engaging and very enlightening. On the 14th day of this 18 day sailing, one of the passengers that I hung out with described this sailing as "boot camp." We were either starting our day going on an excursion, or we were getting involved with activities on the ship because we were "at sea." By the end of dinner, I was exhausted and went to bed. I missed alot of shows, but I did get 8 hours of sleep. :-)

regatta was just recently refurbished. so very nice and clean. also the ship is small, but it did not feel small.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
my only concern was when i selected this cabin, i was aware it was obstructed. on the map, the cabin appears to be between 2 lifeboats,, but the window was completely blocked by one lifeboat. please draw better maps in you brochures.

Ship tip

Enjoy the food. they make their own ice cream/gelato.
