This was our first cruise (my sister and I). The cruise far exceeded our expectations. The boarding process could not have gone faster. The dining was wonderful. A wide variety of cuisines, wonderful taste and attentive service. The wait staff could not have been better. They were always filling up your beverage, carrying your plate, finding you a table and so much more. The pool area was clean and there was always someone around to get something to drink. The cabin stewardess was wonderful. She kept our room neat and clean. She had a very pleasant disposition. The activities on board were just right. We had booked our own excursions. The captain was around a lot and interacted with the passengers. The cruise director was always around and provided wonderful information. The reception desk staff were courteous and thorough. I will most definitely sail with Oceania again. Well done to all!!!!!
