Very smooth and ahead of schedule

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Superb in most restaurants

Red Ginger

5 out of 5

Eaten here on several different Oceania cruises. If you love Sea Bass, you will not be disappointed. Hands down, best restaurant at sea I have had the pleasure of visiting

Ember

4 out of 5

One average meal, and another was better. This restaurant has a tough time determining what it wants to be. Hopefully they will come up with a signature dish.

Waves Grill

5 out of 5

Excellent faster food service. Pizza at night was good also.

Terrace Cafe

4 out of 5

Overall very good and if you like lobster, order as many as you want. The special market day meal was disappointing and lightly attended. They should skip that in the future

The Culinary Center

5 out of 5

Lots of fun. Highly recommended.

Aquamar Kitchen

5 out of 5

If you love avocado (on anything), this is the perfect place. Tuna tacos were excellent.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Did not attend any of the shows, but activities kept me busy

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Know your name from day one and always attentive to your needs.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The new Vista is a design improvement with larger open areas and plenty of well spaced seating everywhere

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
French Veranda window option is an improvement over a veranda if you don’t intend to sit outside. A lower price for the same size cabin … win-win.

Ship tip

Book your dining options as soon as you can to get better dining times. Shore excursions from Oceania are more expensive than other options. Consider that when booking an excursion through Oceania.

Ports of call

St. John's, Antigua

5 out of 5
My spouse did some shopping and we can home with less money. Still, very nice.

Castries, St. Lucia

5 out of 5
Had a great catamaran excursion. Winding roads made the bus trip back to port a bit uncomfortable.

Roseau, Dominica

3 out of 5
A bit crowded with some pushy vendors.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
Lovely place. Plans to go back in the future.

Gustavia, St. Barthelemy

5 out of 5
Easy to walk around the town.

Bridgetown, Barbados
