As we found it difficult to find many photos of Sirena post refurb I thought others may like to see a few from our recent cruise.

Thank for these. 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!

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.

If anyone is still interested my OH has now completed the video

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.

Food on Azamara is good. Food on Oceania is outstanding. 

The daily afternoon tea on Oceania is really elegant. Scones are fabulous.

Oceania has casinos.

Oceania has Bvlgari toiletries.

In a July, we took an Azamara cruise. Came home and booked an Oceania cruise.

[northengirl]

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!

I would not get your hopes up for the scones on O

they have changed the recipe ..they are very dry

[northengirl]

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.

They used to be good   But the last couple of cruises they have not

We even had a visit  from the Executive Chef  & he did say  O changed the recipe

they did improve slightly for the rest of that cruise  but sadly  not on our last cruise

At a  Tea,  I imagine that most people think of  the scones as nothing more than a delivery system  for butter, clotted cream and Jam.

After that treatment, how dry could they possibly be?

they do make clotted cream & whipped cream

you have to ask for the clotted or they give you the other one 😉
