Verdict

– Cruise Passenger 

“This was our 11th cruise with Oceania, so obviously we do love it. The only other lines we’ve cruised are Viking Ocean (1 cruise), Celebrity (2), and Princess (1). Our favorites are Viking Ocean and Oceania. I was glad to get back to Regatta, one of the smaller ships, and the first ship we cruised on back in the early 2000s. The itinerary included some smaller, lesser-known places that I was excited to explore. They did not disappoint, although a couple places were a little light on sightseeing if you only stayed in town on your own. We rented cars, did a lot of planning, and had a great time everywhere we went. “- roothy123
