Just returned from Oceania Encore trip from Barbados to Tampa. The overall decor of the ship was screaming l987 - very disappointing. We were very disappointed in the size of the cabin with balcony - tried to upgrade but no luck. They nickled and dimed us to death - over priced excursions which we didn't buy - we had a drink package that included beer & wine at lunch and dinner but if you wanted a drink at 5:30 they didn't consider it dinner time and charged us. They tried to make money on everything - including disembarking arrangements - which we made our own for $20.00 rather than $140.00. The food was not good - very disappointing. The desserts were so horrible that we didn't ever order any. The room was freezing and no one fixed it. Some of the entertainment was great - but the Encore Troupe was similar to a High School group of singers and dancers.
We enjoyed being in the islands and made some great friends - but the Encore was very disappointing. I guess nothing compares to a Seabourn experience for us.
