Review summary

Enjoyable and mainly booked to experience the new ship. New design was mostly positive but obviously breaking in new staff and dealing with some staff shortages caused a few issues. The Aqua Kitchen was a nice addition but lack of a system for controlling seating of guests a negative.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food as usual on Oceania was terrific. Embers a very poor substitute for Jacques. Still difficult to get seating and order drinks in Martini's lounge. Tehe Founders Bar was a very nice upgrade to the casino bar on Riviera and Marina

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Almost impossible to get seating at pool area unless you get up at 6AM and place items on lounges to hold them as many of our traveling companions did disrespectfully. Staff did nothing to

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Guest comedian was terrific.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Butler and cabin attendants very good and Regiliene hostess in main dining room a real pleasure to interact with.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Pool area very attractive but not well laid out to accommodate a large crowd. Horizons was nicley redone but having setting it for high tea at 1:PM when tea is at 4:00 PM made it useless every afternoon.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Redesign of th penthouse suite cabins was very well done and a big improvement.
