Creator's Key Takeaways

The Oceanana Sirene is anass ship and it has only 670 passengers and it's similar to the ship that we took the Oceanana Reata.

The food was absolutely exceptional.

We really, really love the Rclass ships. It really gives you that true intimate sailing experience.

The service was way slower than we'd ever seen on Ocean before and it really put a drag on that op that opportunity and experience.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a penthouse suite for a bigger shower.
Consider the Aquamar Spa Terrace for relaxation.
Be prepared for self-service buffet messiness.

These are the essentials we pack in our bags every time we cruise or travel to Europe. They come in an affordable six-pack, which you can find at this link: https://amzn.to/44ixS0U Strongman Tools Strong Magnetic Hooks—A couple of these 6-pack sets of hooks are always with us when we cruise.

Get your set of these useful magnetic hooks at this link: https://amzn.to/3UDrVbJ Whitmor 5 Section Closet Organizer—Unfortunately, drawer and shelf space are sometimes limited in some cruise cabins. That’s why we always bring at least one of these inexpensive closet organizers, which gives us plenty of room for our folded clothes. We typically use a couple of magnetic hooks, as described above, to hang these from the ceiling in the corner of our room.
