Review summary

Oceania lived up big time to their 'Finest Cuisine at Sea' slogan. Food everywhere in the ship is a culinary experience. You can have lobster every day if you wish so, at lunch in a Surf and Turf sandwich to dinner at Terrace Cafe and specialty restaurants. Service is like anything we have previously experienced at other cruise lines. After cruising with Oceania you get spoiled with the outstanding service and the superb dining.
