Our trip this year was 2 weeks in Italy, one of which was spent on the Riviera. It was our first cruise cruise with O and we sailed in a group of 6 couples, all well traveled and all experienced cruisers.
We were looking for an upscale, adult cruise experience with high quality rooms, food and dining and Oceania delivered.
We very much enjoyed the O experience. We are not avid ocean cruisers as cruising has for the most part devolved into an experience we do not enjoy. O, however, provided the type of onboard experience and overall quality that we appreciate. Rooms, service, food quality and options, passenger demographic, ship layout and decor, staterooms and attention to detail were all top notch. We appreciated the lack of children, lack of photographers, lack of poolside antics and noise, lack of lines - we enjoyed O as much for what it was not as much as for what it was.
