A lot better looking than when we were on in Oct. Give them an A for decor.     But still should get rid of Tuscan Steak.    It was just awful.  Not enough steak house or Italian.  Can't do both and get to the Oceania standards for great food.

Thanks so much, californiacruisefreak.  DW and I have been looking all over for pictures or video of the refurbishment, and your post is the first to give us a good look at what has been done.  The ship looks to be tasteful and refined with a new lightness that I am glad to see.  Enjoy!

Thank you for taking the time to do all those wonderful pictures👍

I notice Vero water system is up and running? I noticed the bottle container on the desk.

Looks a lot like the Insignia (except for Tuscan Steak & Red Ginger).

 

I’m surprised Oceania hasn’t come out with a video showing the refurbished ships. Maybe someday.

[Hanoverian]

Classiccruiser777, I could not agree more.  It is as if Ford told you for months that a spectacular new car is coming in September, and then failing to give out any information or pictures of it in October.  Oceania is not alone in this, the other lines do the same thing.  I was really hoping for a comprehensive video from Oceania regarding both ships.

Thank you for posting the pictures.

It's a strange experience - she looks the same and yet very different at the same time ☺️

Not the OP, but that cabin is a Penthouse

Looks pretty nice.  Much better than when we were on in Oct.

Thank you for posting these! I'll be on the Sirena in December--was on it three years ago before the refurbishment. The new decor looks great. 

[Go-Bucks!]

Virtually identical to Insignia now...but with different specialty restaurants. That cabin is a Penthouse Suite (PH).

[Redtravel]

Great photos. Looks like a new ship. Just booked a cruise on Sirena. Hope that they work out any problems quickly.

[zalusky]

SO did you kick everybody off the ship to take pictures.  I have never seen it so empty.

[cbb]

Do you have pictures of Horizons? Thanks

[GeorgesGal]

She looks lovely!  Looking to book Sirena tomorrow for 3-18-20.  She is the only O ship we haven't been on yet.

Cabin category was PH2.  Review should be posting.  I will warn you if sailing on Sirena not to expect a happy and dynamic crew.  The crew seems absolutely miserable.  The cruise directory makes his quick appearances and then disappears from the public eye quickly.  Something is broken with management on this ship.  Definitely not a cohesive or friendly crew.  There were many times that my group felt (this was universal) that we were inconveniencing the crew by being on board.  Mega management failure for such a beautiful ship.  We still will likely consider Oceania in the future, but with tempered expectations.  As a last note, we have experienced the indifference and at times rudeness of the crew on other Oceania ships as well.  VERY inconsistent.

I find that surprising since we've never been on an Oceania ship where this was true.  (I'm not saying this wasn't the case, just that it hasn't been my experience.)

 

Also, we haven't been on Sirena since October 2016 and given the way crew contracts end, it's not at all surprising that your experience was different from ours.

I know for years people complained about the rudeness of the Destination services  but  not sure if it just their manner  some Eastern Europeans are abrupt ....they do not come off as warm & fuzzy  like some other Nationalities

I have rarely come across staff that are indifferent  but sometime people ask them questions  that they cannot answer  so they appear indifferent

I find that some PAX are more rude & condescending to the staff  so that causes the staff member to give that person a wide berth
