Grand Continental Encounters from Helsinki, 19 August 2027 (67 nights)

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.

Excellent

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.

Amazing! Service and passenger care was exceptional! My only criticism was that the food on the buffet was often cold.
