Hubby and I wanted to try something different, hopefully some sun after Britain's rubbish weather or the past year. Travel agent suggested a cruise from Southampton if we did not want to fly this year so off we went to Southampton for 14 nights on Oceana. I was a little worried as I am not keen on great expanses of water - but in honesty - so much to do and providing you don't over think it - it is fine.
We chose freedom dining and it was brilliant - spoke with different people most nights ( also ate four times at the select dining for a very reasonable cover charge) The marco pierre white menu could have a little more selection but the service is excellent. I loved the wine packages and the efficient method of keeping an opened bottle, even if you ate in a different restaurant the following night.
Embarkation
G307 - clean, well fitted and makes the most of the space. Quiet end of corridor, but forward so if not a good traveller you may find rough seas bother you. Picture window is lovely.
