The Marina is a classy ship that was kept spotless. The highlight of the Marina was the friendliness and service of the crew. Oceania's employee training program must be top notch because every crew member we encountered said yes with a smile to whatever we requested. Our cabin stewardess, Sergia, was the best we have ever experienced in all of our cruising. Also, Palu a waiter in Martini's bar was wonderful.

The food was good to excellent in all locations. In our opinion Red Ginger was the best specialty restaurant. One of the disappointing meals we had was the lobster dish in Toscana. In Polo Grill the prime rib was outstanding. The selections in the main dining room and buffet were varied and quite good. One of the disappointing things for us was that we couldn't get more specialty restaurant reservations even though we were concierge. I am a celiac and had no problems because everything was prepared to meet my needs.

The entertainment other than the production shows was poor. The singers and dancers in the production shows were good and the entertainers were quite visible around the ship when not performing. The classical string quartet was quite good. Read more
