Is It Worth Upgrading From The Big Ship/Mass Market Cruise Lines To Oceania? After recently experiencing my 4th Cruise with Oceania, sailing on Oceania’s “Vista” ship for a week, I would say a resounding… Absolutely!! :-) https://www.shawnpower.com/oceania-cruise-review-marina/

Fun few days playing at “Universal Studios” in Orlando… I always enjoy my time here when I come for a visit before or after a Cruise from Florida!! 💯🤩

If you’re in Orlando before/after a Cruise and want to be entertained for an evening, make sure to do what I did today and check out Cirque Du Soleil’s “Drawn to Life” performance at “Disney Springs”… this was my 32nd “Cirque” show (40 if you count repeats! 😉) and it was awesome as always!! 💯🤩

Cave tubing in Belize followed by a super yummy 😋 dinner at “Polo Grill” (Highlighted by a Whole Main Lobster!), another fun day on “Oceania Vista”!! 💯🤩 https://www.shawnpower.com/oceania-cruise-review-marina/

Super relaxing sea day on Oceania “Vista” yesterday which included exploring this Beautiful ship and a sunset hottub session on the “Aquamar” Spa private deck plus LOTS of yummy 😋 food in the “Grand Dining” room at lunch followed by tea time in the afternoon and capped off at one of the 4 specialty restaurants onboard, “Ember”. If you’ve only sailed on big ships in the past, maybe it’s time to go smaller as, as I talk about here https://www.shawnpower.com/oceania-cruise-review-marina/, it’s hard to not enjoy these less crowded ships with awesome food & service onboard!! 😉
