We Just Returned from Our First Oceania Cruise. Here's the Verdict
We recently came back from our first Oceania Cruises sailing. From the moment we stepped onboard the Oceania Riviera cruise ship, we knew this wasn't a typical Alaska cruise. In this Oceania cruise review, I share our honest experience on our first Oceania Cruises sailing. This includes what dining was like with Oceania Cruises, as well as information about the Oceania cabins, service, activities, entertainment & more. Since this was our first luxury cruise on a small cruise ship, I also share the surprises, the small ship perks, and a few things we wish someone had told us before booking In this Oceania cruise vlog I share our full experience of our first luxury cruise, as well as answer questions you may have about Oceania Cruises. You'll also learn about the Oceania Riviera cruise ship as well as Alaska cruise ports & excursions. I also share what is included on Oceania Cruises, so you can decide if a small luxury cruise experience is worth it to you. This is especially valuable for first time Oceania cruisers, as well as anyone deciding on the best cruise ship & cruise line for them. This video is perfect if you're comparing cruises or wondering what it is like to sail with Oceania Cruises, as I answer common questions based on what we found during our 7 day Alaska cruise onboard Oceania Riviera. You'll also get information about the Alaska cruise ports, including Ketchikan, Sitka, Icy Strait Point and Victoria BC. As someone who has taken over 50 cruises with mainstream & premium cruise lines, this is an honest review of our first Oceania cruise. @OceaniaCruises #oceaniacruises 🛳 THE ULTIMATE CRUISE PLANNER 🛳 Get the Life Well Cruised ULTIMATE CRUISE PLANNER ($10 off for a limited time).
