Overall we had a wonderful time with absolutely perfect temperatures - 78-84 consistently. The main goal for this trip was to relax, perhaps more than for sightseeing in other destinations such as in Europe, and these stops mostly all worked great to accomplish this goal.

First time Oceania started a trip in Aruba and not well planned. Felt like an entry level ship

Onboard Activities

Gym was nice but could use a rowing machine. Pools were a bit too cool.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Always very friendly; but unusual for Oceania, was not quite as tightly run as usual. A couple of requests were not processed quickly.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Smaller ship, but very easy to get around
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Wonderful and spacious cabin. Only issue is that it is at the very front of the ship, so every time time we would leave from or arrive at a port the preparation and motors for the ropes it was very loud, sometimes making it hard to sleep.
My favorite stop. Great snorkeling with an inexpensive $40 boat/catamaran to take us out to the shipwrecks, sea turtles and mantas. Bethsheba is a cool site with beautiful waves.
They take your passports in Aruba? How is that even legal anywhere on the planet? I understand if you had felony convictions and such, but wow! I would not allow that.
