Verdict

– Cruise Passenger 

“Staff were friendly and helpful. Cabin was spotlessly clean and the cabin steward was very helpful and efficient I was apprehensive too about sailing on Oceana having read negative reports on cruise critic but I loved it and when you here people moaning about petty things around the ship it makes you realise you can’t please everyone. Good mix of ages and different nationalities on board I loved the atrium and listening to the pianist. .” – socharlib
