Creator's Key Takeaways

I've personally been on four Oceanana cruises now, and I don't find that there's any crowds when you're walking around the ship.

They are known as the foodie cruise line. They put more money in the food than pretty much any other cruise line out there.

Oceanana is not going to be for you if you love nightlife.

I strongly strongly suggest if you're going to just do a veranda room, absolutely do a concier room.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a concierge veranda or above to secure better dining reservation times.
Book dining reservations immediately when they open to get preferred times.
Consider using third-party shore excursion companies for better prices.
