Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Insignia

Jim Jaxon
10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We were hoping to get an advanced fall foliage tour. Unfortunately, the weather was uncooperative, but that's the chance you take when you book an autumn cruise. There were some beautiful patches of color, but it rained nearly every day and the temperature never reached 60 degrees until the last day or two. Lesson learned. The cruise departed from Montreal. We flew in the day before hoping to ...

The Elder Cruise -- Buyer Beware!

Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Insignia

SnowGoat
2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

I chose this cruise as a way to spend time with my sister, who typically takes less active vacations than my husband and I. Full disclosure, we are used to smaller ships that manage their own shore excursions, have clear pricing, do not nickel and dime passengers for drinks, or tack on a "gratuity" at the end of the trip in the amount of $400 for unspecified goods or services. The average age of ...

Disappointing

Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Insignia

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

I chose this cruise because I’ve wanted to do a leaf cruise and we were on Insignia last December 2022/January 2023 (Panama Canal) and it was excellent. We had every expectation that this cruise would be the same. Sadly it was not. Specifically the food in the Grand Dining Room was not good. The menus were terrible and the descriptions lacking or incorrect. I have never had to resort to the always ...

Falls short of the luxury it claims for the wrong reasons

Review for a Bermuda Cruise on Insignia

What about the customer
10+ Cruises • Age 60s

The Oceania Insignia is well refurbished - tasteful and easy to get around on. She came back across the Atlantic through a tropical storm and our group of 8 people all felt safe. The ship was remarkably stable despite the 15 ft waves and 42 mph winds for 24 hours. Yes the cabin is smaller because its a smaller ship and the entertainment is not the same as big liners - however it is still good ...

Review for a Bermuda Cruise on Insignia

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

Decided to try this line after many cruises on Norwegian and others. Stayed in a concierge veranda room on deck 7. The accommodations were so tight as to be uncomfortable. I am 5ft4 and 132 pounds and could barely shower in that tiny stall. Another passenger actually fell out of the shower and hit his head on the toilet and showed up at breakfast with stitches the next morning. The food ranged ...

Expectations Not Met. - Owner's Suite

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on Insignia

JFontaine
10+ Cruises • Age 20s

I am an experienced cruiser of 30 years, 40 or so cruises, mostly Celebrity but also five on Crystal, Regent, Azamara, Cunard, MSC, NCL and Royal. I was in the Owner's Suite and traveling with my mom in the suite, sister in another suite. First Oceania cruise. First, the good. I love the R ships. The size is perfect. You feel like you are on a ship, and not in a hotel that happens to be at ...

Finest Cuisine at Sea?

Review for a Bermuda Cruise on Insignia

Scott 1964 FLA
10+ Cruises • Age 50s

Oceania brands itself boldly with the claim "Finest Cuisine at Sea" but I did not feel this was the case. It's a shame, since Insignia is a beautiful ship, the crew was amazing, and there were lots of great things about this cruise. But given the premium price compared to strong brands like Holland America, Disney, Celebrity and others, it just wasn't a good value. And for dining, it was often not ...

Review for a Arctic Cruise on Insignia

10+ Cruises • Age 64s

We were on Insignia (Atlantic Glaciers and Harbors cruise) August 13-30, 2023 and are Bronze. Past sailings have been amazing and have always left me with wanting more. This cruise I was so disappointed that I am hoping it was a fluke and I have another cruise coming up within the month. But I am wondering if financial woes have taken the best of this cruise line. Most notable was the food. You ...

Bad ship

Review for a Panama Canal & Central America Cruise on Insignia

Harv914
10+ Cruises • Age 70s

This cruise for 20 days had lots of problems. Most importantly, the temperature on board was uncontrolled. The ship was freezing. People wore sweaters everywhere. The polo grill was so cold you couldn't eat in the front area. We were told that the AC is broken and the thermostats don't work. That also includes the cabins. The AC is either on or off with no controls. the shore excursions were ...

Well a floating nursing home is how it is best described - that said we met some great people and visited some amazing places.

Overall trip was fantastic but first and last time with this line. Embarkation - Fast and easy - we walked on the ship and checked in in the Insignia Lounge to get ticked off we had watched the safety video then dropped our carry on off at our cabin and went for lunch all in under an hour. DINING/FOOD/DRINKS,- - we found waves,the food hall/Terrace all good with some daily changes in food ...
