Marina is a lovely ship. Great size if you prefer smaller ships. Staff in the main were great with a shout out to Louis, Sherry and Anup in the Terrace as they went above interns of service. Very disappointed with the service n the main dining room. Service was poor and staff seemed too busy to care. Aliens the wine waiter in Toscana and the Terrace was an exceptional sommelier. Really know her wines . The speciality dining rooms were very good , both good and service. Entertainment was a little low key to what we’re used to on other cruise lines. The acts in the main show although were different and very good were very similar, I. e. single men singing and telling funny stories. We are used to much more variety. Cabin crew were very good but unlike other cruise lines didn’t know our names. We had a great cruise and may consider Oceania again if the itinerary was rihjt

Great ship & enjoyable excursions.
However as a vegetarian there wasn't much choice when it came to main courses. On one particular day, the buffet restaurant had no vegetarian choices apart from margarita pizza which was served every day.
Also wished Marina staff would have been on hand to help with disembarkation. A few of us went to wrong building to collect are luggage.
