We were expecting quite a lot before this trip and it certainly lived up to and more than exceeded our expectations. The embarkation process was very smooth and took only a couple of minutes and we were aboard and in our Concierge class cabin. We were very impressed with both the food and the service on this ship. The three restaurants with their open dining policy impressed us - there was never any waiting at the main restaurant - The Grand Dining Room, and the two other restaurants - Polo Grill and Toscana required a booking time but no surcharge. It was silver service at all three dining rooms - fantastic prime rib of beef, filet mignon with lobster and a great variety each day. The buffet for breakfast and lunch served by the staff which certainly a bonus from a hygiene point of view. Our Concierge cabin with balcony was a bit on the small side, as was the bathroom, but was fine for our needs. Our room steward, Ivan was fantastic - cabin was always cleaned while we were at breakfast and at night while we were at dinner. Ice in the ice bucket, curtains drawn at night - everything beautifully tidied up. We have been on six previous cruises with Celebrity, Princess and the Star line in Asia, but this trip surpassed them all with great ports of call,fabulous food and service and great attention to detail. Disembarkation was a breeze - luggage well organized on the dock and porters standing by. Congratulations Oceania and all the staff on the Regatta - we can't wait to sail with you again.
