We've been to all these ports, and have sailed on Sirena, but your photos made it feel like I was right back there today and not working in my home in Atlanta! We are booked on Sirena in 2020, and sailed on Sirena back in May. Right before her refurbish. She looks beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northengirl Posted September 13, 2019 #27 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Thanks for the photos. We we are trying Oceania Sirenia next July/August for the first time. Usually sail with Azamara but wanted to try out Oceania to see what the differences are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darspurs Posted September 13, 2019 #29 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I enjoyed the video, thank you. We are doing our first Oceania cruise on the Insignia next month so I guess it is fairly similar to the Sirena. We have never done a 'small' ship before so it will certainly be an interesting experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redtravel Posted September 15, 2019 #38 Share Posted September 15, 2019 In a July, we took an Azamara cruise. Came home and booked an Oceania cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northengirl Posted September 15, 2019 #39 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Hi Redtravel. We we were on the July cruise to Alaska with you. Enjoyed Azamara very much but fancied a change and got a good deal with Oceania. Looking forward to the food and especially the scones. Azamara scones are not the best!

northengirl Posted September 15, 2019 #41 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Oh dear I was hoping they would be good. Will have to show them how to make them😂 I used to make large batches when I was cooking in college and day centre kitchens. The scones on Viking are very good perhaps they need their recipe.

After that treatment, how dry could they possibly be? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
