Ports of call good / could not tender at Troy due to sea swell ?? have tendered in conditions twice as rough no problem , perhaps due the the agility of the majority of the passengers! the air conditioning in our cabin was overbearing and difficult to control, leaving us with extremely dry throats , the food was not as good as The Best Cuisine At Sea advertised but was o. k. Plenty of nice things about Nautica , cabin staff were excellent as were the majority of the staff . Will look at Oceania again on a larger ship

We really enjoyed this cruise. The itinerary was excellent and made extra special because the weather was so good.
Positives
Clean and good standard of fittings
Smooth transfer and boarding
Friendly staff
Good drinks availability although if not on the package we were it would have been expensive.
Good choice of food available for normal dietary requirements
Negatives
Some staff weren’t as efficient, maybe new to the ship. We had some time waiting for food in Grand Dining and on one occasion orders mixed up which was worrying considering one of the meals was gluten free.
Disappointed with Toscana restaurant as lobster not the best and sauce poor quality. Having said that my husband had Fillet Mignon which he said was great.
Gluten free options were not labelled in the Terrace restaurant and we had to ask about everything the servers didn’t always know and had to get the chef which sometimes took several minutes. They were good at offering alternatives but it would have been smother if foods labelled.
Gluten Free desert choice was poor often only fruit or soufflé of the day. I thought it was strange that deserts weren’t included on the pre order menu which was completed each morning ready for the evening meal.
We didn’t feel overall that, compared to other cruises we have been on, the food was “best at sea” as described.
