"I want to call out the outstanding services of several staff members who were awesome when we had a situation with my sister becoming ill and having to be taken off of the ship to a hospital.While there are still many things to love about Oceania - the rooms are spacious and the food is awesome, the specialty restaurants are free and most of the staff could not be nicer - they are definitely struggling with getting back to normal after the pandemic...."Read More

1-10 of 13 Amsterdam to Europe - Western Mediterranean Oceania Marina Cruise Reviews
This was our 8th cruise with Oceania and our first after the pandemic. Some have mentioned that the ship decor is dated, which I agree with, however, I heard they are renovating the ship in a few months. The restaurants were great as usual - my favorite was Jacques. The spa was wonderful and the cooking class was a lot of fun.
While there are still many things to love about Oceania - the ...
We booked this cruise almost 2 years ago. We liked the itinerary very much, particularly the 2 days in Bordeaux and several other ports in France. We also saw that this would be a special culinary cruise with Jacques Pépin attending, so that was of interest to us too.
This was our fourth cruise with Oceania and our second in Europe with them. We have also done a number of cruises on other ...
Wanted to go to Amsterdam and liked the ports for this cruise. Had not been to Spain or Portugal before. We spent 4 nights in Amsterdam before the cruise.
Embarkation was very fast - this is our 5th cruise with Oceania and we arrived when it is usually most busy but there were more than enough people to log us in, get room cards, etc. Disembarkation was also amazing. Instead of being dumped ...
I really tried to enjoy Marina she comes with a great reputation however overall I was disappointed.
1. The decor is very dated I know she was refurbished only a couple of years ago, but why make her look so dull, old fashioned and over-done?
2.The enrichment and shore information was non existent. No lectures, no on screen information just an overview in the daily news letter. Every day the ...
We wanted to see the Baltic and were not disappointed. We prefer the relaxed pace of river cruising, also because of the relative ease of getting into port, and the lack of sea days. This trip was as close to that as we could find on an ocean cruise. There was only one sea day, all other days being in port. The ports were great. We took only the Russian tours, which were essentially forced on us ...
We have cruised with Oceania seven times so that speaks for itself how we regarded this cruise line.
After visiting the Van Gogh museum and generally walking around Amsterdam we commenced our 23 days on Marina from 24 September to Barcelona, disembarking on 16 October. We thoroughly enjoyed the nightly entertainment and, as usual the dining experience was excellent, including the times we had ...
I and my wife and 9 other friends took a cruise aboard the Oceania Marina around the Bay of Biscay. The ship’s itinerary started in Amsterdam, then to Dover in England, then Honfleur in France, then down the west coast of France, then the north coast of Spain, ending in Lisbon.
This route is not often offered by the cruise lines, but turned out to be quite good and enjoyable. We learnt ...
Our second journey on Marina in three years. This one 12 days vs 26 days on earlier cruise. This itinerary was very port intensive with no at sea days. For a 12 day cruise it was very manageable. We missed one port due to poor tendering weather conditions at Biarritz, so Bilbao had us for an extra day.
The food and service was as good as our previous cruise. We tended to use the Terrace ...
I was looking forward to cruising on Oceania because of it's reputation for excellent food and Customer service.
I was sorely disappointed! The food was mediocre at best. Overcooked, bland, boring salads and uninteresting menu choices including the specialty restaurants. The terrace cafe seemed to consistently have the best food on the ship.
I paid a lot of money for the beverage package ...
We booked our trip through a travel agent who strongly advised cruising on one of Oceania's new ships. Thankfully, they made advanced reservations in the restaurants. Our meal at Ginger ended with us walking out of the dining room when our entree had not been served in a little over 1 1/2 hours. This through the wait staff in a tail spin. They followed us saying that our meal was now being cooked. ...
