We sailed on Oceania Riviera twice in 2023. Once with a Penthouse suite and also with a Concierge Veranda stateroom. Our experience with Oceania has spoiled us, which makes it hard to cruise with any other cruiseline. No lines, no nickel and dime pricing, and the best food ever! We have 3 upcoming Oceania cruises in the next 18 months (Marina, Vista, and Allura). What a wonderful way to explore the world. Can't wait.

I completely agree! Once you go with Oceania, it's really difficult to go with any other cruise line. Your upcoming cruises sound amazing! I am excited you get to go on the new ships! You will have to report back how they are :)

Does this refurbished ship still have the espresso and coffee shop it had before? I liked the Library before, it seemed warmer and cozier.

Was the Suite well soundproof? We have been looking to book a suite, but because of its location, we are a little concern with noises esp at night.

We stayed in 11055 on this cruise and our previous one. It's below the pool deck, but we didn't find it loud above us accept occasionally when they were moving around lounge chairs to clean. Overall the suite is very sound proof and was actually much quieter than the Oceania Suite. The Oceania suite squeaked a lot and overall was noisier when coming into or leaving port. At night our room was very quiet and barely made a sound even when the sea was choppier. No hallway noise at all. I will suggest that a sound machine is a great thing to pack and always helps us sleep wherever we are. They make ones that are very small and easy to travel with.

Am I the only person who absolutely hates a grey color palette? It is so cold and sterile compared to the rich colors in the cabins before. 😖 Oh well, I hope the cruise experience will help me to not notice it so much.

I can agree that a grey color palette is not my favorite. We were pleasantly surprised how nice the Penthouse suite looked in-person vs. in photos. It didn't feel sterile or boring. A few honest notes: not a fan of the velvet green couch as it was super uncomfortable, I miss the tubs, but the new shower is better than the previous smaller one, and we disliked the stools at the end of the bed as they weren't comfortable or all that useful (the table and chairs were better there so we could eat and watch TV if we wanted to). We did like more storage in the cabinets, the lighter closet, and the blue light in the bathroom for night time use. Thankfully the bed was just as comfortable! Any changes they made in the Oceania Suite were not positive ones. The previous fabrics were far better. Overall the ship feels very much the same as before since they didn't do the full renovation. The few places the new lighter decor really shows up are in baristas, the concierge level lounge, and Horizons. Everything else either blends in or hasn't changed.

In my opinon pre-reno cabins where much nicer. The new decor is not quality, we found the drawer handles were broken and the drawers did not close properly. The old decor was more warm and comforting.
