Editorial Summary

Jamie provides a detailed walkthrough of a balcony cabin on the P&O Oceana, noting that while the ship is a mature vessel, the accommodations are spacious and functional. The review covers various aspects of the room, including the ample storage options such as wardrobe compartments and retro pull out drawers. The creator examines the queen size bed, describing the bedding as plush and cozy, and highlights the availability of tea, coffee, and biscuits. The balcony is noted for being larger than those found on some newer, larger ships, offering a comfortable space with reclining chairs and a small table for relaxing. Regarding the bathroom, the creator mentions it feels slightly old-fashioned with a shower curtain rather than glass doors, but finds the water pressure to be powerful. The review also touches on the cabin amenities, including the Sunbeam hair dryer and the inclusion of a complimentary selection of alcohol and soft drinks in the fridge. Jamie concludes that the cabin is bright, clean, and spacious, ultimately recommending the balcony experience for those with the appropriate budget.

I am on board Pino's Oceana it's the first time I've been on board in about five years and it's also the first time I've stayed in one of her balcony cabins

the bedding itself is really quite plush um very cozy

we've had a fantastic week the service has been excellent in fact I think it's improved since the last time we were on board

I would definitely recommend a balcony cabin on board Oceano if it suits your budget um and of course your itinerary
