Marina Review
Great experience on Oceania for our 2nd Cruise. Waves Bar staff was amazing

Additional details
We picked this cruise because it was short and fit our timeline and our desire to go back and visit Spain after attending a wedding there a few years ago. The Marina was beautiful, very similar to the other Oceania ship we had been on (Regatta) but larger and had more options. We went to Red Ginger (B plus), Toscana (A minus) and Jacques (A++++) for Specialty restaurants, they were all delicious and the service was great. The Grand Dining Room, Waves restaurant and Terrace Cafe were all great too, I will say the quality of the breakfast in Terrace Cafe seemed to be not as good as the Regatta, but still fine.
Our P Cabin was large and comfortable, I think it would be fine for an extended cruise. We didn't partake in any of the entertainment or Oceania excursions, we did our own thing.
The service was very good, our room was always kept in great shape and our butler/room steward were very friendly and helpful. My whole family fell in love with the staff at the pool area bar that week (Maya, Maria and Valentina made us feel so welcome). They were so fun and always had a great crowd hanging out and talking to each other, we wished we had more time on the ship. I can't say enough about how great these three ladies were and how they really made our trip.
Cabin Review
Penthouse Suite
The Marina Penthouse Suites are absolutely gorgeous. Bigger than the smaller class ships by a big margin. Everything was very comfortable and the walk-in closet made a difference. The bathroom might have been laid out better- not sure why a shower and a tub were needed. One thing I would have appreciated was a curtain that actually went across the whole room so I could read in the morning without waking my husband.
Also, the light switches were really confusing and I was always turning on every light in the room by accident in the morning. These are teeny issues overall compared to how great the room was. The terrace was really big and comfortable too.
