Crossing the Atlantic on Oceania's Marina
Looking for a real vacation with minimal running around and maximum of peace, quiet, water and sky, my husband and I decided to book a trans-Atlantic cruise. We were familiar with Oceania's cruises from a previous Mediterranean cruise, and also we were very tempted by the much reduced price of trans-Atlantic cruises, when ships were repositioning from the Caribbean to Europe, or vice versa.
Our choice fell on Marina, the newest ship of the company, a mid-size (about 1200 passengers) new vessel leaving from Miami and arriving to Barcelona 14 days later, after stops in Bermuda, Madeira and Tangiers.
Cabin Review
Verandah Stateroom
We had a B3 cabin, which is a veranda central cabin on deck 7. The cabin was comfortable with all amenities: ample closets, drawers and shelves, a small fridge, a desk with a chair, a sofa, a small breakfast table, mirrors, wonderful bedside lamps, TV. The best feature was the sliding doors leading to the veranda, where a table and 2 nice comfy chairs invited us to enjoy fresh air, the sun, the ocean, or the moon and the stars. The bathroom was a marvel in itself: all marble, a tub and a separate shower, lots of storage place, a three-sided mirror, good lighting. Our chambermaid and her helper, both Eastern-Europeans whose language we could speak, became our friends and kept our cabin impeccable, including leaving daily ship bulletins, and the chocolate on our pillows. I have asked for additional pillows and they were delivered promptly.
