Review summary

we cruised with Oceania already 14 times and will continue to go with them; they have the best food on board, it's a small ship, nice people. They have drawbacks, like the lounge chair situation and the entertainment, but one cannot get everything. We are there to be pampered and relaxing. And this is what we can do on these ships. Booked already for next year.

Ship tip

don't expect to get a lounge chair; they are booked starting 7:00 am with towels, books and sunglasses; although they say, personnel will remove something like that, nobody takes care of this;
