Cabin: Verandah Stateroom
We chose this cruise based on its itinerary and a recommendation from a frequent Oceania cruiser. We’re glad we did. We loved it! It will most likely not be our last Oceania cruise.
Embarkation: We arrived at the port in Stockholm at approximately 1pm and we were on the ship in a matter of minutes. We were told our room was ready as well. Dining was available in the Terrace Café buffet. It was a little chaotic, but not as bad as I anticipated. By the time we finished our lunch and toured the public areas, our luggage had been delivered to our room.
Service: We found the service to be uniformly excellent throughout the ship. Restaurant, bar, housekeeping, and desk staff were always friendly and accommodating.
Cabin Review
Verandah Stateroom
Cabin B3
We found the 280+ sq. ft. veranda cabin to be more than sufficient. It had a nice couch with small coffee table and a desk with chair. Closet space was also sufficient. Shelves and drawers were not as plentiful, though (maybe we packed too much). The veranda was nice, but we seldom used it (photos are exception). We were aft of mid-ship and above public space, but we never had any noise or significant disruption from engines, ship motion, or public spaces. The bathroom was a good size, but the shower was a bit cramped. There is a bathtub as well, but we never used it. We would have gladly traded a larger shower for the bath. We seldom saw our housekeeper, Elena, but our room was always tidy. Throughout the ship, the housekeeping staff did a great job.
Port Reviews
Klaipeda
We spent time walking through the old city spending time in the market and listened to folk music. Relaxing day in a port-intensive cruise.
Berlin
We took the S-bahn to Rostock hoping to see the Stasi museum, but it was closed. It was still a short, enjoyable visit. We enjoyed the ocean resort town of Warnemunde more, though.
