This was only the second cruise that we have taken since we have always traveled independently in the past. Our first cruise was also with Oceania, but on the Riviera. I realize that it's not fair to compare the Nautica with the Riviera which is brand new and wonderful, so I won't.
We spent extra days in Barcelona before boarding our ship and all went smoothly.
Our stateroom was just fine, nothing spectacular, but comfortable, with more than enough storage space.
Our cabin was very adequate with a nice veranda. The space was well planned and the storage was convenient and more than adequate.
