Our first cruise and oh my word Oceania Vista has set the bar high. The staff are truly lovely. The ship is stunning real marble and elegant in every way. This ship is absolutely spotless from top to bottom. Toilets you could eat your food off. Food delicious The terrace buffet is the best followed by the polo grill. The grand dining room and the other restaurants not so good. Eg the rack of lamb was two tiny chops that were so rubbery the knife couldn’t cut them. The only gripe I had was the concierge upgrade. What an absolute waste of money. All that was any good was the tote bag. Hundreds of pounds and that was the only thing worth having.
The entertainment was excellent apart from the magician and opera singer. The entertainers were world class singers. Four corners group and Ilan the pianist brilliant too.
Both IGLU and Oceania customer service was excellent.

Beautiful ship with friendly, helpful staff and crew. Superb food in the main dining room as well as the speciality restaurants.
Stage shows excellent and other musical performers very good.
Cabins on the small side ( we were in a concierge cabin ) with plenty of drawers but short on hanging space or hooks.
Sound deadening between cabins not as good as other ships of the same quality.
All in all an excellent cruise which we thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely sail on Vista again.
