My wife and I (our two children 12 & 16 yrs old), decided to take a special vacation. Against my better judgement to take a cruise vacation; we were recommended to take a cruise on the Mediterranean. We have experienced several cruise around the Caribbean, and were not terribly excited about the island ports as so many of the islands are so alike. We decided to splurge and go international.
After speaking with several friends and travel agents regarding their cruising experience; we elected to try Oceania's newest cruise ship Riviera. The ship caters to 1200 passengers with approximately 800 crew.
I can tell you that without reservation, we gave an A+ rating regarding our experience while on Oceania Riviera. The food was excellent, the cabins were roomy and beautifully decorated, the staff was second to none as one crewmate was nicer and more accommodating than another. The cruise director Jon Leslie was always updating the passengers with the latest goings on - on board the ship or regarding interesting things to do in port.
Beautifully appointed cabins with a joining balconies. Great beds! best sleep in a long time! Pillows and comforter was great. The room was always clean!
