There are plenty of subeds and if you fancy a bit of peace and quite there's a lovely little sunbed area right at the rear of the ship on deck A, we use it all the time as there tends not to be any children there, its a great ship, and we have done the same cruise, so enjoy

We have been on Oceana many times and we are on this cruise too! There are plenty of sunbeds around the ship in different areas, if you get up late you may not get exactly the spot you want though. Yes, you will see 'the sunbed hogger' but don't worry about it, you'll have a lovely time! Lyn

Well said: People tend to forget that some of the better spots can be on decks like the Promenade Deck where you can be often cooled by a pleasant breeze and enjoy peace and quiet. I normally don't give out this sort of information as those areas are such a pleasure at times. ......Neil

Have a look at the reviews on this website and most I read seemed to have enjoyed themselves with few problems. The issue of sunbeads is easily resolved complain to guest services and if a few do it they will take action, it is the few as Buckley says who try to hog them...Bill

By the time you're out of the Caribbean, after two or three days you're unlikely to want sunbeds, to be honest.

Remember reviews are only someone's opinion. Your values may not be their's and you'll probably love it.

Hi we have sailed with different lines and on different ships and you will always get the sunbed hogger they get up early pick a spot and disappear for hours,you can use your balcony if you have one and the promenade deck has seats and loungers,when your in port you should have no problems,if your up early then you will have no problems but getting up at 11 the best beds have long gone. We are on this cruise one of the best ships we have sailed on just go with an open mind and enjoy it.
