This was our 10th cruise and we and our friends were very much looking forward to it but sadly Journey could not compare to Oceania's beautiful Riviera in any way ( we together with friends had sailed on Riviera twice in the last 12 months - read my review) and we also felt that Celebrity's own Solstice class ships were also so much nicer for half the price!

The breakfast could be much better - always the same melon and no lovely fresh berries etc. lunch was ok we found the breads were poor as were the pastries. Read more
