Gator83 Posted June 10, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Hi, I am booked on the Sirena in October 2018 to go to Cuba. This will be my first time on Oceania and I have been reading reviews about cruises on the Sirena and also saw some pictures from cruise critic members. I am a little worried about sailing on this ship as some of the reviews regarding the ship itself (not the ports) aren't so positive and some of the pictures showed some dirty cabins, dirty drapes, etc. Can anyone ease my mind about the ship? I know it was refurbished but I believe the pictures and reviews were after the it being redone. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulchili Posted June 10, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 10, 2017 We were on her in Dec 2016 and she is spotless - in some ways even better than the other O R ships due to recent complete refurbishment. Relax :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petoonya Posted June 10, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 10, 2017 We were just on her for eighteen days. Got home Tuesday of this week, and she was gleamingly beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitob Posted June 10, 2017 #8 Share Posted June 10, 2017 34 nights in march/April 2017. Beautiful shape Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammiedawg Posted June 10, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 10, 2017 We were on fourteen days last September and I had a hard time finding anything wrong with the physical plant. In some ways this ship is lovelier than the sister ships because they lightened up the decor in little ways. Food and service were wonderful.

aquidneck1 Posted June 10, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 10, 2017 We were on in February and I agree, the ship is beautiful. We were in a PH suite so did not experience the smaller rooms with smaller baths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator83 Posted June 10, 2017 Author #11 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I saw the pictures on here on the reviews. Thank you to everyone that answered saying the ship is fine; I will leave it at that and look forward to my Cuba cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ronrick1943 Posted June 10, 2017 #12 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Just looked last night at the reviews on CC, looks good to me, so you shouldn't have any worries at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare travelberlin Posted June 15, 2017 #13 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I am glad to hear the Sirena is in a wonderful shape. We have just booked with her.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sopwith Posted June 24, 2017 #14 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I'm looking at the Sirena for a 16 day transatlantic with 8 sea days. I'm a little concerned that with the small ship the public spaces and facilities may be a bit lacking for this many days at sea. I'd appreciate others' perspective about this. Are pool and hot tub decks adequate? Is there a coffee bar like the Marina and Riviera? Enough outdoor deck space for lounging? How is the spa deck? There appears to be no pool or hot tub on the spa deck, so what's there other than a few loungers? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Noxequifans Posted June 24, 2017 #15 Share Posted June 24, 2017 The Sirena and other "R Ships" were designed for the number of passengers on board. We started our cruising on them and then moved on to the larger O ships. But our next cruise is on an R ship and we have no reservations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks There is Barristas shown on the deck plan on deck 5 same location as the the other R Ships Maybe the R ships are not right for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluepoodle1 Posted January 26, 2018 #17 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I am also considering booking the Sirena for a Cuba cruise. I am wondering how obstructed the views are in Category E? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly obstructed, the lifeboats hang outside their windows. You'll get daylight but not much "view". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
