We wanted to see Cuba, the Panama Canal and Machu Picchu and this cruise had all three. It was the first time we traveled with dietary restrictions (my wife was diagnosed as Celiac).
Overall the ship did a good job of providing gluten free food options, but it could have been better. Every single meal we had to ask the chef to point out what she could eat instead of simply putting a "GF" label on the cards describing each dish. She only was contaminated once when given inaccurate information. For the most part the servers and food preparers at the stations need additional training in preparing gluten free meals. They could also do a better job of having gluten free choices rather an a cookie at the tea or one dessert (if you were lucky) Tired of hearing fruit plate, salad and dry chicken.
Now on to excursions. Oceana is gouging it's passengers with expensive, and just average tours. Don't get me wrong, some of them were great, but an equal number were under performers. We recommend you do your own research and book off the ship for half the price. We went from 90% cruise excursions to half this time and will go lower down the road. Best excursion - Machu Picchu.
First time we had plenty of room. Butler service was outstanding - although they ran out of the pillow options before we could even ask about them. Bed was great but short - Viking has real king size beds. I'm tall and didn't fit.
we were grandfathered in so we could go out on our own. Now you must do a tour with the ship or local tour group (choose the latter it's cheaper)
ship owned island - good relaxing day
stay with a ship tour - traffic can lock you up for hours
taxis and local tour guides are as good and much cheaper
not much time here unless you go out in the evening.
