I chose this cruise because I have never been to the Caribbean before, but have gone on Oceania cruises in the past. This cruise surpassed my expectations in every way! The imbarkment went so smooth and easy. The food in the specialty restaurants, grand dining room and buffet were all excellent with freshly prepared foods and the waitstaff extremely helpfu!, The service and shows on board were all top notch. The excursions that we went on were great and our tour guides very friendly and knowledgeable! The cabins were cleaned and freshened twice a day. The cruise director was very helpful in giving all details and directions of getting on and off the ship as well as telling us the weather and other details of the port. The disembarkment was easy too with no waiting! I would highly recommend Oceania for people who want excellent food, less crowds and a top notch cruise line!!!
