We chose this cruise because we heard Oceania gave you great service and catered to passengers. We paid top price for a second hand ship they purchased fromPrincess and tried to refurbish it for this cruise and did not have enough time so it was not in a great shape. Most of staff was not experienced Including dining room, shows for very little they had and all went wrong. Electrical issues, fired in the engine room, plumbing not working correctly, long waits for diners , bars etc.... lots of passengers were Platinum members and other members and said this was the worst cruises hip they had ever been . I have been on 15 cruises and this was the second worst on my list. We paid $ 20,000.00 and got robbed. Everyone felt his way and it's a shame how they get away with this. They offered us $ 300.00 compensation, what a slap in the face. Apparently the other ships are totally different with everything as we were told by other passengers. So don't get robbed on The Beautiful Serena, because it was a disappointment and we could have had a great cruise on a much higher end ship for the price. Will never go on Oceania again and would not recommend them for how we were all treated on this ship.
