Oceania Luxury Cruises Reviews

In my opinion: Avoid this cruise and Oceania for the following reasons: 1) horrible crowd management - 2 hour lines shoulder to shoulder for onboard immigration process; 2) bad excursion experience overall - booked, some bad guides, insufficient coverage of areas, problem with availability, 3) some excellent and some very rude and inexperienced staff. In my opinion there are much better ...

We were on the Regatta from Australia to New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa x 2 and French Polynesia. My feedback is as follows: 1. Staff - very friendly and generally eager to please. However, tend to be a number who lack training, so service is variable. 2. Cabins - please don't pretend they are state rooms, it insults the passengers! Generally basic, but good enough, but shower area is tiny. Bigger ...

We are avid travellers and have been on numerous cruises including many with Oceania. Here's an overview of our most recent cruise with Oceania on the ship Regatta. The food is very good when it comes to your table hot. There were a few times in the dining room when the food was luke warm and we were served food on plates and bowls that were chipped or damaged. The buffet food is hit or ...

This is my review of the Oceania cruise on the Sirena ship from Miami to the Canary Islands that lasted 2 weeks from 27 March to 10 April 2024. The food for all 3 meals plus afternoon tea, service, both cabin, reception and dining, and entertainment were excellent. In particular, the cruise director, Leslie Howard, was fantastic. The ship was in great shape; it was very well maintained. It ...

We just returned from 12 days in Japan on Riviera. We fell in love with Japan and will absolutely return someday! Background: Active couple (58 and 59), well traveled both on land and at sea, second O cruise, other cruises on X, HAL, RCCL, first trip to Asia, love good food and better wine. My comments are simply our impressions and I respect that others will have contrasting input. ...

This was not our first cruise with Oceania and after a fantastic experience in Tahiti, we couldn't wait to go back. This experience however, was quite different. Our stateroom (A4), public spaces, etc., were lovely and comfortable, and the specialty restaurants were very good. The buffet and the Grand Dining Room however, went downhill compared to the previous cruise, Where Oceania let us ...

Oceania - March 17-April 1 - Sailing around Japan, including 3 days pre cruise in Tokyo This was our first Oceania cruise. We are Elite on Celebrity and have also sailed Princess, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian. We were never asked by Oceania to rate the trip, something that has never happened on our many cruises. Our review follows: We traveled as a group of about 25 people mainly from ...

In total, we have cruised @. 40 times to most corners of the world. This was our second time with Oceania..... and our last. We booked directly and our only contact was with the cruise consultant who took the booking. Any questions, and there were several regarding air, guest services etc were directed to him, but he could only pass the questions up the chain. We paid the fee ( higher ...

1) Food was good, not great 2) Shore excursion guides were not always proficient in English 3) Hired non-Oceania guide for Kyoto (from GetYourGuide) and had wonderful experience 4) Excursion to view Mt Fuji was a wasted day - coming into the port in the AM provided the best view and photo ops from the ship’s deck - excursion took us to the far side of the bay (much further away) or a ...

Our cruise experience, including our pre-cruise three night stay in Tokyo, was a mixed bag at best. Starting with the "transfer" from Narita airport to our hotel: this was a disorganized, chaotic mess. Our greeters at the airport kept us waiting for hours before finally leading us on a long walk with baggage to the bus. The Hilton Tokyo was a very good hotel with an excellent buffet breakfast but ...
