Creator's Key Takeaways

It feels luxurious, looks luxurious, and most of all, it claims to give you all of the elegance, all of the service, and all of the indulgence you could ever ask for.

The pool deck, we think this area is fantastic. It's a real standout feature that elevates the ship into that luxury sector.

We think what they give to you is very fair, and the price definitely includes way more than you get in the premium and mass market cruise lines.

If you're coming up to Oceanana from the premium sector where some of those ships are quite buzzy, quite vibrant at night, it is quite a big difference.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Get on the dining app the moment you pay your final installment to secure specialty restaurant reservations.
βœ“Consider bidding for a concierge grade cabin to get access to the Aquamar Spa Terrace, which can pay for itself.
βœ“Be aware that entertainment is more quiet and intimate compared to premium lines.
