Explore all the ship has to offer, there are great little spots to sit and read or relax. Great size ship, not overwhelming.

Don't waste your money on the drink package. It was almost $400 and only included beer and house wine at lunch and dinner. If you want other drinks or wine at any other time of the day, you would have had to pay an additional $200, bringing the drink package cost to $600 for a 9 day trip. The underhanded part of this was that they didn't tell you in advance that the $400 drink package only included bar wine and beer with meals.

read the fine print - free wifi means 1 login per stateroom for basic wifi. for emails and texting only and most emails would not load if there was any graphics included, streaming is extra, another login is extremely expensive - very slow, wifi on Oceana is ridiculous, will never sail with. Oceana again until they fix their Wifi speed and stop charging the outrageous fees for use. free my ass!!! also - they automatically charge your account for gratuities

Enjoy the food and peaceful atmosphere. I was glad there were no photographers or waiters trying to sell fancy drinks.

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;

Make sure to book the specialty restaurants as soon as you can.

Wait until there's proof the food quality has improved. Numerous guests had the same reaction as us.

Check out internet. They make you share account which is very inconvenient. If you want to buy another account, it is very expensive, $25.00 per day.

Ask for things that aren't on the menu (i.e. "fresh squeezed orange juice")

Always take the cooking classes! They are excellent and well thought out. Several of the shore excursions were VERY disappointing. When we formally complained, we did not receive a response, other than "sorry." Supposedly, the complaint was forwarded to management, but we've been back 4 days and still haven't heard anything (we submitted our complaint a few days before the end of the cruise)..

Find out how many ports require you to tender. The North Atlantic can be rough. We tendered into quite a few of the ports. One of the days, the sea was so rough, that the ride was definitely a white knuckle trip!

Know what to expect - it’s predominantly older seniors. Avoid cabins with small showers because they have a tub.

Book it you will not be disapointed

don't, we got more information about ports from other ships that were in port at the same time than we got from the Riviera staff.

Appreciate the crew. Though some may be inexperienced they really try hard to do their best

Make sure you're on the side where you will see the most when coming into port, and don't stay up too late as you will wear yourself out.

DO NOT BOOK THEM or Norwegian, they are the same. Bait and switch itineraries and the captain will throw you off the ship if you complain.
