It started out nice when we boarded Sirena in Stockholm but then the Baltic Sea got rough as our cruise ship got underway and a lot of passengers got seasick. We were all unhappy when our port visit to Visby, Sweden was cancelled by the Captain.

Review summary

As usual, Oceania Cruises did a good job. That's why we keep coming back. We were in a hurry to disembark and I forgot to ask for a print out of our final statement, Will you please send us a print out of our final bill by mail ??? Thank you.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

It was fine but the Terrace Cafe had a tough time handling the onslaught of boarding passengers loohing for seats.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The Grand Dining Room was good as always and so was the Terrace Cafe. The Tuscan was fine but we were a bit disappointed with the cuisine at the Red Ginger.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Only had Bingo once. Fitness center was OK. Putting and slamming were good games that kept us occupied.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Ship's shows were fine. The Sirena band and quintet were outstanding. Rod at the piano did well. The casino crew were OK. Peter did a good job of entertaining the passengers and keeping us well-informed.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our room stewards Jonella and Brycan worked well as a team and took very good care of our needs. Redentor took good care of us at Terrace Cafe as well as the outstanding crew of Francisca, Melissa, Felix, Pata, Alfredo, Joel, Novaina, and other excellent waiters in the Grand Dining Room. Divine was also attentive to our needs.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean and well-maintained hallways and staircases.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our stateroom was well-maintained, spotless and very comfortable. The toilet, shower and bathrooms were very clean and always well-stocked by Jonella and Brycan.
