First time sailing Oceania — and we came to Alaska to find out if it really is one of the finest luxury lines at sea. 🚢 It all starts with boarding day: the ship, our stateroom, and our honest first impressions. We're Judy & Marc, and this is Episode 1 of our Oceania Riviera Alaska series. We sailed the Riviera for 9 nights from Whittier to Vancouver, and we're scoring every part of the experience with our Twin Palms Score — SCALE: Ship & Stateroom, Cuisine, Activities & Entertainment, Location & Ports, and Experience & Value. In this first episode we walk you through embarkation in Whittier, our first steps onboard Oceania Riviera, a full tour of our stateroom, and our genuine first impressions — does Oceania deliver that elevated, luxurious feel we were hoping for? 🌟 Stay to the end, because that's where we reveal our very first score: Ship & Stateroom, out of 10. 🧳 FREE Alaska Cruise Packing Checklist → https://www.twinpalmsworldtravel.com/cruise-travel Everything we packed for this trip, in one printable list. 🚢 PLANNING YOUR OWN ALASKA CRUISE?
