This itinerary is exceptional among all of the Alaskan choices from any of the cruise lines and it is unfortunate that it is not being offered in 2014!! We visited nine ports and cruised over 3500 miles .... inside & outside passages and all the way to Kodiak and back. Some of the greatest small, seacoast towns and villages that can be had. ONLY AVAILABLE IN A SMALL SHIP!

We reserved a concierge,verandah (balcony) on the Oceania Regatta and though small, it was "as advertised" and more than adequate! The concierge levels start off a welcome bottle of iced champagne and it only gets better from there. The noon boarding in Seattle was as quick and as easy as can be had. It took a couple of hours for our luggage to arrive, but it was what we expected after an early boarding. And we had time for lunch and champagne and to explore the ship!!

The in the MDR was good and service excellent, though slow paced. We have cruised Princess and we both agree that the MDR food quality was just slightly better on the Regatta. Service shipwide is generally excellent as it should be with under 700 passengers. We have to agree with other reviews, that the Toscana Italian themed venue had the best food onboard.

Cabin Review

Concierge Level Veranda Stateroom

Cabin A3

Regatta A3-7107-aft All of regatta's rooms are smaller that on larger ships .... even smaller than on Oceania's newer, larger ships. BUT they ARE "as advertised".

Very quiet. Slight shudder during reverse or hard turns. Closet space for hanging is barely adequate, but lots of drawers. Shower/bathroom is small, but efficient.

Balcony is OK for two people. Service nearly perfect.
