This was our second cruise on Oceania the first one was on Marina and this latest one on Riviera, they are identical sister ships. The ship is relatively new and very attractive with good amenities including a fairly decent WiFi for a ship.

Our cruise had a busy schedule with ports everyday from Barcelona around the Northern Mediterranean coat of France and Italy ending up in Rome. Stopping in St. Tropez, Cannes, Antibes and Monte Carlo seems a bit overdone since they are all so close together and a sea day would have been nice.

The staterooms and suites are very spacious and well decorated for a ship and that in my opinion puts Oceania ahead of Crystal for the luxury mid-size category. The service was excellent from all the help on board from maids, butlers and servers at the various restaurants. The food quality is very good at all the specialty restaurant and buffets.

Excellent the second bathroom is very small and difficult the larger bathroom is great. Media room is a nice feature and the TV entertainment system was good.
