My Country Club Experience ….

Wow …… From the moment I spotted this beauty docked at City Cruise Terminal on the 05th August it was a thumbs up from me….. I was about to step on board Nautica – One of the Regattas Class ships with Oceania.

To start with as soon as I embarked, I felt like I was stepping into a country club hotel set in the countryside, with its dark wooden decor and warm welcoming atmosphere. The Atrium herself is just stunning ….. We were taken into the Lounge where we were given a presentation about the ship and the cruise line and what they offer ….

Have you sailed with Oceania before? ….. If not I would love to share these facts with you, some even those of you have may not know ….

Every Ship within the Fleet is refitted every 18 months! – This to me is incredible, now I know Oceania do not have near as many ships as the larger cruise lines but this just shows their high standard and to me their intimacy.

All Speciality Dining is included within your cruise price – 1 reservation per restaurant on board is guaranteed for each guest

They like to provide a home away from home experience and comfort

When you enjoy your dinner in the Polo Grill, remember every chef that has prepared your food comes from Tuscany in Italy so its not just a themed restaurant

The only cruise line that carries 28 days matured dry aged beef

To help you find your way around on the ship remember a telephone on the wall at each lift / stair area means this side will lead you to odd cabin numbers.

To leave you this time ….. I will keep you in suspense for Part 2 …. The cabins on board from a Concierge to a Vista Suite …. I will leave you with 3 of my favorite places on board … Martinins – Enjoy a cocktail by this amazing fireplace enjoying live pianist, the library and the Pool Deck area with the most comfiest sunbeds I have laid on in a long time …..
