Sail Date: Jul 2012
Cabin: Verandah Stateroom

Stateroom was all we expected, at 6'-3" I had no difficulty taking a shower. Beds were great, never slept so well on a cruise ship before, wondering though, who actually does the thread counts on the linens. Room was kept beautifully, including removing the salt water spray residue on the patio that occurred after some rougher seas.

Having been in the food business "too many" years I congratulate them on their professionalism. Food quality, presentation and service were excellent. Though the speciality restaurants are greatly hyped, you would be hard pressed to find a bad meal or poor service anywhere.

If your going for the casino action be aware the machines are "tight" and the service and hospitality are horrible. High speed sarcastic dealers and grumpy pit bosses offered an attitude of total indifference. Upon complaining at the service desk, found out they are not employees of Oceania but a sub contractor. Suggest they do a little "mystery shopper" work.
