Well, there you have it... a quick overview of the Marina.

 

Simply beautiful ship... not a 'sharp edge' anywhere. We felt quite at home.

 

I will start a new thread with a Trip Report for our voyage from Chile to Tahiti in a few days. It is simply a matter of sorting thru...oh... maybe 4000 pictures to find the best ones that tell the story. :eek:

 

I hope this helps pass the time for all of those folks watching the calendar and awaiting their cruise on the Marina... and makes the wait worthwhile.

 

I dream of this view and will surely experience again...and I hope...soon. :p

Thanks for the photos Ron. We are on the Marina in a concierge level cabin on deck 9 as well. The pics are great!!

 

Thanks! I think that location is optimal and definitely worth it. The cabin is a comfortable size, with plenty of storage.

Sorry... I spoke too soon. Now.. THANK YOU for the great photos! Can't wait to board the Marina!

With exception of one cruise in the front of the ship we have always had that aft view and will have it for the next five cruises. We too dream of that view.

Thank you for a wonderful photo review. Great job!

Wonderful pictures. Just as we remember it from June. Leaving tomorrow for Tahiti to pick up ship. Can't wait. Thanks again . :):)

[LEESRE]

Thanks you so much for the photos, could you sometime put them all together on Flicker so that we can view them on a slide show.

 

Many thanks

Dear Ron: We leave in 3 months for our cruise on the Marina. It will be our first time on Oceania. Your pictures were great and looking forward to taking my own soon, thanks,

[cruisingxpert]

Wonderful pictures as usual. Looking forward to the report too. Sure you can't join us for a repeat of last years cruise. We're going again on March 28th 2014.

 

Do you put your pictures on Flickr before you upload them to CC?

Awww, Catherine... I'd love to! ..but it was tough being away for so long in January....still trying to get back into the groove of things.

 

Yes, I use Flickr for the 'albums,' then only have to use the links (URLs) to the pictures for the posts here; I don't upload any images to CC.

Ron, you already know I think your photos are terrific. Nice job putting this together. And tell Angela I love her hats...

 

Super work! Thank you for sharing again.

Hope to run into you both again one day.

Wow, what a beautiful ship. I have never been that interested in trying Oceania, but these photos have definitely changed my mind. I will be adding Oceania to my "must try them out" list. Thanks for posting.

Wonderful photographic tour of Marina, Ron! Thank you so much for sharing! Seeing these photos makes me really eager to get on-board next May! I appreciate the time you took to post for us all to enjoy!

[Aruba]

Great photos! Although I only toured Marina when she made her maiden call to NYC and never sailed on her, the photos brought back many happy memories of our cruises on Riviera.

One question: in the Artist Loft photo, the paintings that are displayed look like ones I've seen at art auctions on (seemingly) every other cruise line. Did O bring back back art auctions??

Hi Ron,

 

Thanks for sharing.

How about an egg cream?

Yes, although I didn't pay any much attention to them. They used the Artist Loft as a base of operations on a few days; also had auction sessions in Horizons and a rep in the main Reception areas on a few nights.

Ira, that would have been very difficult to accomplish. :p

I was happy just to get the B&W....

[burm]

Four more days. Sigh. Thanks for sharing your photos.

Same here, Glenn..

 

Good news about Merryl. Send her our regards and wishes for a rapid recovery. ;)

Thank you for the pictures. The ship looks beautiful. We're going on the Insignia this Sept. It's being refurbished this spring, I hope it looks this nice.

[karska]

I also posted too soon. Great pictures. The ship looks great. We're going on the Insignia this Sept, our first Oceania cruise. Hope the ship looks this great after it's refurbishment

The Terrace Cafe was a frequent haunt for lunch, and a surprising delight for dinner.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This may be our favorite spot in the world...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So it is ours! Ank en Klaas, we were on this same cruise.
