We took this cruise because of the ports and the unique itinerary, sailing from Miami to Montreal. We were excited because the excursions were included, so we didn’t have to arrange them ourselves. Before the ship left Miami, the Great Stirrup Cay port was cancelled, as well as Fernandina Beach, and Freeport, Bahamas and Jacksonville, FL were substituted. Freeport was a rundown port, and the ...
Oceania knew in advance that the seas were rough around Bermuda and the ship would not be going there. Instead of three days in Bermuda, Oceania substitute a day at sea, a day at its Great Stirrup Island, and a day in Jacksonville.
When the ship arrived at Great Stirrup Cay, we were told the sea was too rough to run tenders. We were then directed by Marine Ops to got to Jacksonville for two ...
I have been wanting to try out Oceania after reading terrible reviews 5-6 years ago, but still hearing good things. Alas, it did not live up to its claims of being a luxury experience. It felt like we were being nickle and dimed and the cruise line cut corners on everything - entertainment, service, ports & dockings.
Supposedly completely refurbished in December, wallpaper was peeling on our ...
We chose this cruise because they claimed to be the best cuisine at sea! & we wanted to see Bermuda. Neither of which happened. The food was mediocre at best & instead of seeing Bermuda we visited Jacksonville business district & further sea days. We sailed straight past Burmuda, the captain said within 20 miles, which I am sure would have been better than Jacksonville. The Captain apologised but ...
Getting away on what we thought would be a restful and peaceful cruise across the Atlantic was anything but that, and we will never sail with Cunard again. Entering the terminal and boarding the ship was about the only positive part, although as we masked up from that first minute we wondered about Covid on the ship. Turns out we should have wondered as the ship was ripe with Covid ...
Chose this ship since it was going through the panama canal, across the atlantic and on to the mediterranean.
Worst staff ever! most staff were incompetent at their jobs, especially reception and pursers office.
Many staff were outright rude! we have never seen such widespread rudeness on a cruise ship.
Room steward LOCKED ME OUT on my patio and then blamed the door (said it locked ...
Liked itinerary and had sailed with Oceania before.
Time in Bermuda was cut short.
Entertainment was sad.
Ocenia has changed since it sold out to big cruise line.
I would not travel with them again.
I felt like Ocenia nickled and dimed you every time they could.
As a fellow cruise guess said:
"They have already added a tip to everything and charged you for a Drink ...
We have traveled on many ships all parts of the World, and always had great times. This supposedly upscale Cruise Line was promised to be great, WHAT AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE. It started with the boarding, we expected special service having paid for a penthouse suite. Instead all 900+ passengers were lined up in airport security style file, for 90 minutes in a hot tent without water, nor ...
And I have taken several; why you wonder:
#1 - I caught an intestinal illness on board, couldn't eat hardly eat anything but chicken soup and a little fruit for the last seven days of the cruise; it was an eleven night cruise. Couldn't determine if it was something I ate or if it was some inconsiderate passenger on board spreading disease; doesn't matter I caught it on board. I do want to ...
Thank you for taking the time to share this detailed review of your travels with us, MDDSDLS. While we are pleased to learn the medical staff aboard Viking Sky impressed you, we regret to...
Worse cruise I have ever been on. Choose Insignia for the 8 day trip to Bermuda to celebrate my husband's retirement,
During embarkation the ship does not except *Credit Debit*cards as form of payment for any on board charges. So we had to cancel most of our shore excursions to have credit applied to our room to pay for crew tips.
The casino was very small and never had enough staff to ...
