M y wife and I have been cruising for twenty five years so I guess that qualifies us as experienced.
We arranged with Oceania for a pre cruise stay in Hong Kong and a post cruise stay in Bangkok. We were cruising on the Nautica one of Oceania's older (but restored) ships.
I could write pages of information about this cruise but I am not really inclined to do that. In total, the ship was fantastic. The cabin was spacious, the service great and the crew exceptional. The perfection of the crew was only surpassed by the quality and selection of the food. It ranged from good to fabulous.
Roomy, spacious and comfortable for a 21 day cruise. Cabin service exceptional. All amenities provided in bathroom + slippers, robe ,etc.
