Things we like more on Oceania are 1) the food is better 2) there is more in port time (fewer or no days at sea) 3) the country club casual attire (no suits or formal nights)
Things we like about Celebrity are 1) the entertainment is more elaborate (not necessarily better talent wise though) 2) more to do on board especially when it is a sea day.
Both are great experiences. Look at the itinerary and see which suits you best. If you have been to the Carribean before, I bet the itinerary for Oceania will be more new to you. Celebrity doesn't go to some of Oceania's ports. St Barts for one.
We were in Aqua class too and enjoyed the smaller dining room and the healthy food. You get to eat in the specialty restaurants on Oceania a certain number of nights depending on your stateroom class for no additional charge. The food in the Italian restaurant Toscana was really memorable (Oceania).
If you're a greens eater, the produce was noticeably better on Oceania. Free sodas on Oceania too. I seem to drink my weight in diet coke everyday on a cruise!
I think also the cabins on Riviera will be more luxuriously decorated, but not necessarily that much larger depending of course on what kind you get. The bathrooms will be larger in a balcony room on Oceania than on Celebrity. Celebrity is very well laid out though. Their showers are excellent. You do get a bath tub on Oceania AND a shower at least on Riviera and Marina. I am pretty sure again in a balcony cabin or higher.

We have done both. We like both.
