Stackerman Posted February 18, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Can anyone who has been on Oceana post re-fit tell me if the cabins were upgraded during the re-fit, and if so what was changed. Thanks Art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanexile81 Posted February 18, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Just back off Oceana and apart from different curtains, no changes had been made in our cabin. The new curtains weren't really black-out and they let in lots more light than the old ones. It was hard to see the changes around the ship although we were told that lots of carpets in the bars etc around the atrium were new and of course Le Club had a refit.

LibraLass41 Posted February 26, 2013 #3 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I was on Oceana for the New Year Cruise, in a balcony cabin and there was brand new Curtains, and bed linen , the chair had been re-upholstered, and there was a flat screen tv.... All public areas had new carpets, and Le Club was totally upgraded with all chairs upholstered and new carpets, it was immaculate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayman Posted February 27, 2013 #4 Share Posted February 27, 2013 The plan was also to upgrade the theatre, from a performers point of view, but haven't heard any comments on that - maybe only the performers would notice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your cabin must have been one of the chosen few Libralass. We were in a balcony cabin too for the 35-day Caribbean cruise and definitely didn't have new bed linen or towels. We were disappointed that the carpet hadn't been replaced as it had seen better days. The balcony also was pretty tatty. We really like P&O and there's so much we enjoyed about the ship but we heard that the budget had to be cut on the cabin refit and that was a pity.

Brayman Posted February 28, 2013 #9 Share Posted February 28, 2013 How old is this ship now ? It entered service in February 2000 (2002 with P&O I think) I've always found it a very sociable ship to be on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libra Lynn Posted February 28, 2013 #10 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I've always found it a very sociable ship to be on. Yes always enjoyed flirting with the nice waiters from Goa. What a beautiful creation most of them are :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longish cruise so looking for the best cabin we can afford. On Aurora we had deluxe balcony ,as it was slightly larger and had the separating curtain. Is it me or are Oceana's cabins on the small side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably my cabin just needed more work in the refurb Brayman...:rolleyes: I did read reviews from the weekender just before our cruise of some balconies being tatty, with splattered paint and some rails not varnished. Perhaps they were working their way round them, though they all should all of been completed in the upgrade I agree. Some people have said the budget cut on refurb maybe because they might sell her in next few years, perhaps when the new ship comes to the fleet?

I read somewhere they have pictures of themselves (flirting) with Waiters from Goa, whilst they sit back and relax on ships in "Immaculate" balcony cabins, with discounted pando employee prices. Is it part of their job description one wonders to post positive reviews of pando ships ? Could this could possibly be true ? Maybe they can let us know what is happening ?

winniesbestm8 Posted March 27, 2013 #16 Share Posted March 27, 2013 we are just back off Oceana and thought she was in great condition for her age, really enjoyed her. I knew new carpets had been fitted as my daughter was covered in the new carpet fluff from playing under the chairs in footlights while we were waiting to disembark!

Somerset Cruiser Posted March 28, 2013 #17 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Recently on Oceana as well and expected to find a tired old ship but it was not the case. All in pretty good nick as far as we could see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
