Barcelona Oceania Regatta Cruise Reviews

Oceania has done it again... best service -nicest staff and great cuisine.The culinary classes to art classes-always something going on. The four restaurants Jacques,Red Ginger, Toscanna and Polo make one feel that you are not even on a ship but at 5 star experiences elsewhere. These are also not at an additonal charge. Just love Oceania and probably could not ask for more. The excursions are ...

14 Night Transatlantic Cruise on Regatta Nov 2010 Perspective: We are both 50ish ;). We have cruised 25 or so times mainly on main stream cruises, and did cruise once on Crystal. We favor value for the buck and cruising off season away from school holidays. We did a 12 night transatlantic cruise on Regatta in 2008 so many of the following observations where also made in the review for that ...

Background DH and I discovered cruising nearly 20 years ago. We've sailed HAL almost exclusively & are most familiar with their S and R class ships (1200-1400 pax) as well as the unique Prinsendam (793 pax). Oceania has been on our radar for a while, thanks to many positive reviews here on CC. So we decided to do a "test" cruise. Despite our preference for longer, port-intensive cruises, we ...

This cruise review should be read with the understanding that it was our FIRST Oceania cruise of the 18 cruises we had done to this point. The standard for comparison was Holland America Line, with which we have done 11 cruises to date, and whose service and ambience we have thoroughly enjoyed over the years. We chose this particular cruise partly because it gave us a chance to cruise on Oceania's ...

This morning my Sister and her partner are somewhere in Barcelona excitedly awaiting their first ever cruise and they have chosen to join us on Regatta...they will not be disappointed! Barcelona: We were up at 6.00am, ship docks at 7.00am. Breakfast on the Terrace, great as usual, we appreciate the lack of lines and the smooth efficiency. We get a taxi(10E) to Praca de Espana FCG Station, we ...

EXCELLENT/PHENOMENAL/OUTSTANDING !! Having read so many reviews of this and other Oceania ships prior to our sailing and the nit-picky things pointed out by so many; I guess I felt our overall experience on this particular cruise and the weather and calm seas made this first voyage with Oceania seem to be all of the above and much, much more! Our room was very nice and very accommodating for the ...

Ours was the (in)famous "Libya-less" cruise but, in my opinion, Oceania delivered an end product that was even better. The two ports in Libya were removed, but were replaced by Mallorca, Alicante and Tanger. Gibraltar & Malta, which were previously removed, were also put back on. I'm not a "ticket-puncher" so, having visited the Parthenon, not being able to visit a secondary Greek ruin did not ...

Just as background, I'm 53, and this was our third cruise. Last year we did a Viking River cruise in the Netherlands (loved it!) and the year before that cruised to New England and Canada on a now-defunct cruise line. We loved Oceania. We booked it because we were attracted to the port-intensive itinerary and the fact that the ship only held 684 passengers. We thought the food and service were ...

OCEANIA REGATTA TRIP REPORT Barcelona to Dover July 5-19, 2003 Jim and Pam Murphy   There are a few things that I would like to mention before sharing my daily journal. I write this for personal reasons - it is something that I include in the photo album that I make for each of our trips.   Jim and I chose the inaugural cruise of the new Oceania line since we were very loyal cruisers of the ...
