Oceania Regatta Review

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

We just toured the Regatta and it was a wonderful day.   First, we were sent to the Horizon Lounge which is on Deck 10.  It’s absolutely the most beautiful and comfortable Observation Lounge ever!   Sofas and chairs have large colorful pillows, sheer drapes adorn the windows and there is a combo and dance floor.

The specialty restaurants, Toscana and Polo Grill are on the same deck and they both offer their own bar area and luxurious seating with fabulous menus….no extra charge of course.  In between the restaurants is the largest library I’ve seen on any size ship and also the most inviting.  It was like an English Manor drawing room, with bookcases and books piled upon tables, a central fireplace with sofas and love seats, again with comfy pillows propped everywhere…wanted to stay there,

The Lobby area is stunning with its double staircase in wrought iron and gold, carpeted in red and black.  Surrounding the area are oversized chairs and sofas inviting you to sit and chat.  When you ascend the grand staircase, feeling as if  you’re in “Gone With the Wind”, you enter the Upper Hall which has  boutiques, a beautiful Grand Bar and a very inviting Martini’s Bar and a very small casino.  Forward is the lounge which also has a dance floor.  There is a wonderful feel of casual elegance all over the ship.  Aft is the Grand Dining Room which is also lovely and we enjoyed a multi course delicious lunch with white glove service.   The cuisine on Oceania Cruises is considered one of the very best at sea.

I would certainly wholeheartedly recommend Oceania to all but the under 40 set as there are not a lot of different venues as offered by the larger ships.

Oceania Cruises runs wonderful promotions throughout the year including 2 for 1 rates, free airfare and more.  Call us at 800-942-3301 for more details on the latest Oceania Cruise deals.
