OK it was an early charter flight out but went perfectly. First time on Oceana and felt it showed its original US Princess design with open large casino and art gallery which you had to walk through. Liked the atrium design - but these lifts serve only deck 5 - 8 meant having to either walk to front with 5 lifts or rear with 3 - which only went from deck 7 to 14. Trying to get down to deck 4 by lift was nearly impossible.

Did not like the Plaza - it should be the crows nest - and the lack of an omlette station . The breakfast and lunch in the Plaza was a bit patchy. Cafe Jardin good for breakfast and we got 8.30 dinner in the Adriatic sorted out after the first night. Could have done with a first sea day instead of Livorno. The 2 captains nights in the Atrium were good - much better than being crammed into the usual theatre/nightclub - and we got more than 1 drink! Really liked Dubrovnik and Kotor. Only went to 1 performance - the pianist but we like proper piano playing not a Liberace medley done as fast as possible. Perfect flight home.

Superior inside. Fine for this cruise - only 4 sea days so no point in having an outside or balcony
