Very good experience. Smaller ship, no lines, good food and excellent shore excursions. Service is outstanding. For example, prior to docking in Rome (which is NOT in Rome but an hour away), Oceania sent passengers a note that cabs were practically non-existent at the cruise terminal and if available would charge several hundred dollars. They offered transportation to the airport for a small fee. Several of us had early morning flights and they arranged a special bus to take us in time for our flights. At 6:45 a.m. the Oceania cruise director was helping staff bring luggage to the bus to make sure we got off on time. Additionally, because of the smaller number of passengers, we tendered in and out with hardly any wait. There was another large cruise ship in Portofino and we saw 800-1,000 people waiting in a line that stretched for blocks, in the rain, to get back to their ship. We waited about 10 minutes under cover of a large tent provided by Oceania.
Pros: 600-650 passengers, no lines for elevators or food or off boarding. Good food, tremendous service, clean in every detail,, good-sized rooms.
Cons: Food was occasionally inconsistent but overall, very good.

We loved this trip and this ship was perfect if you have a very busy itenary. The deluxe ocean view cabin was better than we expected. We usually do balcony but we booked this OV to try it out. We actually loved it. Europe was so hot (90 degrees to 103 degrees) and after long days in port we were soaked through our clothes. The last thing we would have done was be on our balcony in the heat. But to view the Amalfi coast from our window Perfect. I would easily book this category for a cold weather cruise. The window was large enough for the natural night to come in and for you to see what's outside. We felt NO motion of the ocean on deck 4. I thought I wouldn't like that deck, but it was so easy to get to everything and so quiet! The food was excellent and all the staff were kind, friendly and helpful. Our cabin Steward Gede was one of the best we've ever had. Our refrigerator wasn't working and he had a new one brought up and stocked it with our preferred drinks in no time. This ship is small, and yes showing her age a bit - but hey, I can relate to that - and really, she's perfect. Comfortable, easy to get around and has what you need and want. Even though she's small - she never felt crowded - we were at 100% sailing and most times we were the only ones in the elevators. Food in the Terrace Cafe was tops - it was our prefered venue to sit outside aft with a grilled to order steak or chops or something more exotic from the buffet. The main dining room was equally as good. Toscano was excellent, but we were both disappointed with Polo Club this time. Our steaks were so over done I sent mine back (and I'm usually not that picky, but the difference from Medium Rare that I ordered to welldone that I had was a bit much). The lobster was incredibly small too. That could have just been a bad night or a one off because all the other times we've dined there it always was the highlight of our trip. Honestly, we wished we were at the Terrace that night. Our excursions we booked through Oceania were hit and miss - but most were very good. It was incredibly hot so it would have been nice if we had water available on the bus or time to refill them in port - sometimes we ran out of the water in our bottles and were struggling a bit. I do think Oceania does a great job on a variety of excursions. We did several city tours, a wine tasting and lunch, toured a local farm with a farm to table lunch, took a boat ride around the Amalfi coast and had a wonderful beach day in Menorca. So the mix was great! Our only issues: The bathrooms are so small. We didn't have any trouble using them, but someone larger might have an issue with the shower size. The casino is so small - not an issue really, just an observation. Still had fun losing some money (next time we'll win it back)
Pros: Easy to get around, wonderful staff, excellent food, clean, great itinerary
Cons: small bathrooms, small casino

There needs to be an evaluation system for each tour. Also the level of mobility is not always true for the tours. Staff were outstanding and wonderful to be around. Clean & happy environment on the ship.
Pros: The tours were great. Loved the food in the dining room & speciality restaurants.
Cons: Wished there were more specialty restaurants. Needed more lounge chairs on the promenade decks.

The itinerary was excellent and the shore excursions were very well done. The places we saw and the tours were incredible. The staff on the ship and especially the spa and our butler were excellent, although the products that the spa sells were excellent but too expensive. The stateroom was very comfortable but had a few things that needed to be improved. We unfortunately missed several ports of call because of weather but understand this can happen. We will book a larger stateroom for a trip of this length again. We are strongly considering several additional Oceania cruises that are offered in 2025. Overall we had a wonderful experience on this exceptional vacation.
Pros: The destinations and shore excursions; the comfort of the ship & stateroom; the staff; activities and O Points with gifts; the spa treatments
Cons: Too formal dress code (prefer more casual); stateroom did not have ventilation; dinner and shows start too late; medical cost too high for services

Crew went above and beyond in meeting our needs. Waiters knew our names and remembered our preferred beverage choices. Room service was exceptional. They catered to our daily needs such as helping with medical needs and replacing broken hairdryers by us.
Pros: excellent service, elegant vessel, fine dining
Cons: some excursions cancelled, poor flight schedules
