P&0 Oceana, Caribbean, 5/2/10. When we booked,(3 couples) we thought we were booking an upmarket cruise, having cruised with Royal Caribbean, Princess, Carnival, and MSC. Sadly we were wrong, compared with the Sea Princess it was a down market ship. At first glance it seemed ok but after a while you would start to notice the general upkeep of the ship was not up to the standards of other cruise ...

OCEANA - (23 December 2005  6 January 2006). Not having sailed with P & O Cruises over the Christmas and New Year Period before, I chose P&O`s ship the `Oceana`, for my `holiday` cruise in 2005.

We arrived in Barbados to a quick and speedy departure from the airport and straight to the ship. Didn't have to go through customs or anything, straight onto the bus and straight to the ship, this was a bonus and not what we had been used to. Quite a queue when we got to the ship but to be expected as we had all just got off the plane. For first time cruisers it was spectacular going through ...

This was our first time on Oceana although we have been on Adonia when she was with P&O so we knew what to expect. Flight: The one aspect of the trip that most people hate. We travelled with Monarch and upgraded to Premium seating - worth it for extra luggage allowance and a little extra room. Flights both ways on time, going out good flight. Arrived at Barbados, straight down steps and onto ...
