We chose Oceania Regatta because we had sailed on the Insignia last year to Australia, New Zealand, and French Polynesia. The Regatta is the sister ship. This time we introduced our friends to Oceania! This was our 2nd cruise with Oceania Cruise Lines.
Everything from start to finish was excellent. We chose the same type of cabin, the penthouse suite. A few days into our trip, we were surprised to have a lack of hot water in the shower but, it was handled quickly. :-(
The lectures and spa services were all enjoyable. The narration by the specialist during the Panama Canal crossing was great. Larry, the professor on board gave fabulous lectures. The shows performed by the Regatta Singers was also excellent! Corey Powell, our Cruise Director was so friendly and personable. One night there was a pianist another, a magician. The magician gave a great lecture about the history of magic - it was great! The pianist in Martinis was so enjoyable. The String Quartet was fabulous--- every night for 2 hours!
