Ship easy to find your way around.
Cabin was reasonably spacious except for bathroom which was tiny with a shower you could barely move in.
Our 2 night stay in Miami was disappointing as the hotel lacked good facilities and was shabby.
Our itinerary change meant an extra sea day
The staff on the ship were all excellent without exception and the staff seemed to be more relaxed than other ships we have sailed on.
Only downside was the disembarking day where the pick up time was 10am for a flight at 9pm which meant an extra cost of arranging an excursion. Which still meant arriving at 1pm. I feel the holiday package should of included a day pass to a hotel with transfer to airport.
Virgin flights departed on time and were reasonably comfy in Economy.

Couldn't fault any of the staff, what so ever, however a special shout out for our cabin staff Jayzyl and Berry who went the extra mile to accomodate us, make us feel welcome and decorate our cabin with balloons when they found out that we were celebrating a special occassion. Also mentions for Eric Glenn, Chandra, Denzil and Antonio for great service in Waves and Terrace Cafe buffet.
The House Select Drinks package, which was included within our cruise deal is well worth purchasing, if you are not a spirits drinker as wine and beer prices could easily build up on a longer voyage.
We thought that too much emphasis was made by Oceania to please guests on the world cruise, whilst leaving other guests a little left out.

My only criticism was that the food on the buffet was often cold.

From the 16th century until the Second World War, it secured London's seaward approach. The first fort was constructed here by Henry VIII, and Queen Elizabeth I famously gathered her soldiers nearby to combat the Armada threat. With its network of moats and bastioned outworks, the current fort is perhaps the greatest example of its kind in England.

However, beyond Newhaven, Edinburgh is home to an abundance of breathtaking sights and incredible experiences; it has so much more to offer. The entire city is a picture, with Edinburgh Old Town dominated by medieval architecture and charming narrow streets, while Edinburgh New Town features a blend of Georgian and Neoclassical architecture; a city full of incredible landmarks, Edinburgh is a charming destination unlike any other. The ever-iconic Edinburgh Castle and Palace of Holyroodhouse are always worth seeing when you visit, as is the Royal Mile running through the heart of the city and connecting the two, but there are so many must-see spots in this remarkable city. From atop Calton Hill – which is home to the National Monument, the Nelson Monument, the Dugald Stewart Monument and the City Observatory (among other landmarks) – and Arthur’s Seat – an ancient extinct volcano in Holyrood Park – you’ll have the chance to relish in sweeping panoramic views of the city and beyond. The Scott Monument, St. Giles’ Cathedral, and Royal Botanic Gardens are all excellent options when it comes to sightseeing too. When you combine all of this with the incredible food, charming cafes, lively pubs, and other experiences available across the capital, there really is an abundance of things to enjoy when you’re in Edinburgh.
Things to do in Newhaven (For Edinburgh):
Edinburgh Castle
Sitting atop Castle Rock – an area that has been inhabited by humans since the Iron Age – Edinburgh Castle, in some form, has overlooked the Edinburgh area since the 11th century. Starting out as a royal residence for Malcolm III, the castle eventually became a military garrison from circa 1633, and has since become an important part of Scotland’s national heritage. It played an active role in the Wars of Scottish Independence throughout the 14th century, the siege to free James III of Scotland in 1482, and the Lang Siege from 1571 to 1573 – while also being an important site during the Jacobite rising of 1745, among other Scottish conflicts. Now a tourist attraction with historical displays, several shops and cafes, and some sensational views of the city, a visit to Edinburgh Castle is not to be missed.
Calton Hill
This hill in central Edinburgh is home to a number of important landmarks and monuments, making it a fantastic place to visit when you’re in Edinburgh. Standing over 150 ft high over the Scottish capital, you’ll find the following monuments on this UNESCO World Heritage Site: the National Monument, the Nelson Monument, the Dugald Stewart Monument, the old Royal High School, the Robert Burns Monument, the Political Martyrs’ Monument, and the City Observatory. With some of these monuments as old as the 18th century, there’s a lot to learn about Edinburgh and Scotland’s history just from this one hilltop – that, and some stunning views of the city surrounding you.
The Scott Monument
A stunning Victorian Gothic monument in Edinburgh’s Princes Street Gardens, an area where you can see Edinburgh Castle atop Castle Rock rising in the distance, the Scott Monument honours Scottish novelist, poet, and historian Sir Walter Scott – who authored Rob Roy (1817), Waverley (1818), and Ivanhoe (1819), among others. At over 200 ft tall, it’s the second-tallest monument to an author in the world after the Jose Marti Monument in Havana, Cuba. While breathtaking to see from street level, you can also climb up this intricate tower monument to enjoy panoramic views of Edinburgh from viewing platforms. Inaugurated in 1846, the monument itself is adorned with visages of Scottish writers, poets, and other notable figures.

Built by the 9th Earl of Erroll, the castle itself is featured in Bram Stoker’s The Watter’s Mou and The Mystery of the Sea, and it’s believed that parts of the castle provided a visual palette for Stoker’s Dracula – an octagonal hall, particularly, features in the novel.
Provost Skene’s House
The oldest surviving town hours in Aberdeen, Provost Skene’s House – which was first constructed circa 1545 – is a museum on local history and prominent figures in popular culture who were born, lived, or worked in Aberdeen. While it was remodeled slightly in the mid-18th century, this is a fantastic example of Aberdeen’s unique burgh architectural style and offers an interesting insight into the period.
St. Machar’s Cathedral
In Old Aberdeen, St. Machar’s Cathedral was founded as a site of worship in around 580 – with a Norman cathedral replacing the original church circa 1131 before being rebuilt and repaired numerous times over the years. The current church, which is actually a high kirk (not a cathedral), is primarily 17th century, but remains an important cultural landmark and a stunning structure.
