Oceania is not all they say it is
"And there were really no people our age on the ship.There are 2 hours out of the day where there is no food (except tea with cake) available, unfortunately it is between 4-6 when people are returning from excursions and need a snack...."Read More

Oceania standards have dropped

Review for a Panama Canal & Central America Cruise on Oceania Vista

Wanted to transit through the Panama canal. Having been on Oceania before we were looking forward to this cruise. Previously we were really impressed with the service and food. Sadly Oceania's standards have dropped greatly. The quality of the staff on board is not very good. One is constantly trying to get service and often we have had to resort to find the restaurant manager and asking ...

Nice ship but port stops way to short

Review for a Panama Canal & Central America Cruise on Oceania Vista

10+ Cruises • Age 63s

This was our first cruise on Oceania and we picked this cruise for the itinerary and of course the Panama Canal. The boarding process was fast and easy. We spent a few nights in Redondo beach first and really enjoyed being on the marina. We stayed at the Shade hotel there and it was excellent. A taxi from LAX was around $30 and an Uber from the hotel to the cruise terminal was around $35 including ...

Oceania Vista, not up to par.

Review for a Panama Canal & Central America Cruise on Oceania Vista

10+ Cruises • Age 62s

I choose the Vista because of its new design and elegance. I was fully expecting to enjoy the high end Oceania service and quality, but mush to our disappointment it fell far short of the normal service and quality of food. I booked this on opening day over 2 years ago and was looking forward to this marvelous itinerary that showcase our ability to enjoy this brand new ship. Right of the bat the ...

Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Oceania Vista

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We wanted to try the new ship and went for the ship this trip. The itinerary worked for us as well. We had plans for a couple ports but other than that, the ship was the destination We arrived late in Montreal on embarkation day (long story) and did not get to the ship until about 5pm. Thank goodness the ship was overnighting there. No lineup at that time,just us at check in. We took ...

Great in parts

Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Oceania Vista

10+ Cruises • Age 77s

This was our first Oceania cruise. We were tempted by the new ship and the itinerary. We were certainly not disappointed by the ship nor the itinerary although the itinerary was somewhat spoilt by the weather which affected a couple of stops. The ship is quite beautiful - restful colours everywhere and some very 'interesting' art. Not always to our taste (the painting over our bathroom toilet was ...

Disappointing

Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Oceania Vista

CruisinGert
10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We have sailed on many lines but this was our first on Oceania. When we saw this cruise, on their brand new ship, we knew it was time to give them a try. What we liked - beautiful ship, very clean, wonderful bed, good shower, roomy bathroom, comfortable veranda furniture (standard veranda cabin), fabulous cabin stewards (they were really awesome!) What we didn’t like - the food, spotty ...

Pretty decent cruise but there is room for improvement

Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Oceania Vista

DrKoob
10+ Cruises • Age 70s

What we loved... Obviously, the food. Oceania promises the best food at sea, and in 90% of their venues, they succeed. Every single place to eat was as good or better than any place I have eaten on any other ship. If cruising is all about food for you—you want Oceania. Loved Toscana, Aquamar Kitchen (try the Poke bowl), Terrace Cafe, Polo Grille, Red Ginger and Pizzeria...in that order. Only ...

New Ship - New Favorite Spot

Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Oceania Vista

Spudsmack
10+ Cruises • Age 60s

Wanted to experience the new Vista and was not disappointed. The new venues were great and looking forward to its new sister ship Allura. Dining - The Grand Dining Room is truly grand. White columns and half walls break up the cavernous space and allow for a quieter more intimate experience no matter where you are seated. Menu selections were good but did notice rather dull options when it ...

Phenomenal ship, poor management

Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Oceania Vista

weston cruiser
10+ Cruises • Age 70s

This ship is exceptional. Beautiful interior design and outstanding artwork. Elevators are a problem, a serious problem. I see this as a management problem, however. They had an outstanding string quartet playing several times a day on a hallway. A heavily trafficked hallway. It was an embarrassment to see these talented musicians, being distracted by all this traffic. The space is available to ...

Beware of Oceania Suites

Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Oceania Vista

Lukas808
10+ Cruises • Age 60s

This is our first cruise experience with Oceania. Overall, the ship has beautiful decor, cuisine and interactive TV is plentiful. This is about where the positives end. Their IT lags way behind the industry. Check-in is done online albeit without any mobile App to use. When we checked in at the pier, we had to have our photos retaken and answered the same questions that we had done online prior to ...
