Exotic Atlantic Shores from Rio de Janeiro with Stay, 24 January 2025 (26 nights)

Nice size ship, quality of food service etc was great, the variety of excursions was good although on some excursion there was not quite enough time at some places and they perhaps tried to pack too much in. Entertainment was good if a little bit limited although we enjoyed the guest performers. On deck activities were slightly limited due to the size of the ship

We think this is our favourite cruise ship ever! We love that it is small and intimate and that the crew and passengers all enjoy a family/community ambience onboard. The quality of the food and service is just superb. Our itinerary was great - the main reason we chose this particular holiday, and we got a good deal through Iglu cruise, I think it helped that we were doing the first segment of a round the world cruise, because everyone onboard was just settling in and keen to get to know one another and to enjoy the various onboard activities and venues.

It was a really good cruise despite some strong winds. The food has to be amongst the best that I have had on a cruise ship. The staff were as usual very attentive and looked after us very well. The decor was excellent and the ship had only completed a refurbishment 2 weeks before. Fantastic. The entertainment was not up to standard; one of the speakers was poor and the other's subject matter was not of much interest. There needed to be more speakers particularly as we had 6 sea days. The guest entertainers lacked variety. The 2 who joined the ship half way through, one was a ventriloquist and the other a magician and OK for one performance but not 2.

Concierge balcony cabin was in poor condition, did not appear to be any benefits of concierge on this 10 day cruise. The panels on the balcony dividers had paint peeling off and the sliding balcony door black dirt and rust.The food was good, but not as claimed by Oceania to be exceptional. The service of the staff was very good, plenty of them and they were attentive. Entertainment was poor, just like a lot of small cruise ships, six singers and dancers, we did not think we're very good. We have cruised seventy times with several different cruise companies,this cruise line we would not use again.
