Review summary
The Oceania "Riviera" was well kept. There was no rust in sight. The food could not have been any better. It was a trip of a lifetime.
The onboard wi-fi left something to be desire. When it was working it could be used to send text messages, but not photos. Internet searches were slow.

Ship tip
The ship is in itself a destination. Therefore, don't overload yourself with excursions or you won't be able to enjoy the ship. I went on 3 half-day tours and 2 full-day tours on this 8-day cruise. I would have not gone on more excursions, and would not have felt deprived if I had gone on fewer.
Ports of call
Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy
La Spezia (Cinque Terre), Italy
