We actually chose a cruise in November on the Marina. Shortly after, we were contacted by Oceania to switch to this cruise, giving us many percs. We are so glad we switched! The weather was perfect; the ship is amazing; the food, even better; the service, impeccable. Embarkation was a breeze as was disembarkation. We felt the entertainment was good, not great. The friendliness of the staff was incredible. We tried each of the specialty restaurants and found them all outstanding! The Grand Dining room was excellent as well. We really enjoyed having lunch daily in the Terrace Café. We did go to Waves Grill once for lunch and the food was very, very good. The milk shakes are to die for! We had a great time at one of the Culinary Classes. We learned a great deal and will be using some of the principles taught. We have previously sailed on NCL three times, but my wife and I will never go on any other cruises than with Oceania!
