This was our third cruise on Oceania. We have cruised Istanbul to Athens and the Baltics. This cruise, Vikings/Castles/and Kings was full of interesting ports. We had two sea days to rest up.
After boarding in Dover we went to lunch. Pizza was served that was dry and hard. We were shocked. My comment was is the "bloom off the rose at O?". Thank goodness a few days later the pizza was up to snuff as far as being moist and tender. It still was not as good as on other lines we have sailed.
Dining in the specialty restaurants was a mixed bag. We had rather tough and dry lobster served two time. Fillet Mignon in Polo was indeed a great steak. We enjoyed the staff and food in the Grand Dining Room.
6065, 6067, 6069 Great location for the B1 cabins. One flight up from the Grand Dining Room. Not too far or too close to the elevators. Quiet cabin in general as most of the guests are considerate in the hallways. There was a vibration noise in the hall that was quite annoying. We did not notice this on our first Regatta cruise. It was less annoying in the cabin and I kind of thought of it as "white noise" like one of those waves machines that are supposed to help one get to sleep. There was a bit of problem with plumbing - we detected an odor in the hall more then once. Crew worked on it and things settled down.
