I've been checking the availability every day on the website. Last Saturday, there appeared to be 1 cabin open in the category that we've been waitlisted for. I called my TA and she was able to grab the cabin. Great for me, but that meant that I was able to grab it before Oceania had the chance to offer it to someone on the waitlist, which really isn't fair to the waitlisted customers. I don't think I would've gotten it had Oceania's offices been open.

Now it looks like she MAY get a face-lift in May 2024. There's no sailing showing on the website at that time.

We are #3 on the waitlist for an Oceania Suite on the Marina in Nov 2024. For those of you who have been on their waitlists, have you had good luck?

Thanks so much for this! As we're taking a crossing, we are very interested in your experiences in sea days. We're looking at either the Aza Journey or the Oceania Marina, which is one of their 2 larger ships. We're also treating ourselves to a suite & tend to enjoy time in our cabin & relaxing on our verandah. Can you compare the onboard experience of each?

.....which is why I can't make up my mind! I like the idea of Azamara because it sounds friendlier, but the Oceania ship (Marina) is larger and will have been recently refurbished, I believe, so MAY have more to do on so many sea days.

I asked the same question on both boards!

Travelberlin, can you tell me why???

We are a retired couple who have cruised often but not on either of these lines. We enjoy transatlantic crossings because of the days at sea. Can't decide between an owners suite on the Azamara Journey or Oceania suite on the Oceania Marina. These ships have almost identical itineraries in Nov 2024 that we are considering. We like a casual atmosphere, don't gamble, maybe 1-2 cocktails a day, like good food but not necessarily fancy food, like some entertainment after dinner. Would love your thoughts!
