Abandoned by Oceania
"In addition we received a revised time for our Oceania arranged BA flight from Heathrow to Istanbul which knocked off three and a half hours from the transit time from Istanbul Airport to Istanbul Cruise Terminal but we were re-assured by the fact that this revised time had come through Oceania's flight arrangements department so it must be ok.By this time Oceania had caught up with the situation and booked us an overnight B&B Hotel in Thessaloniki and ordered us a taxi to the Portside for day three of the cruise...."Read More

We have done over 30 cruises. I wanted to make friends, which I did.  I wanted to learn, which I did.  I wanted to enhance my cruising experience with Oceania Cruises, which I did. I have an ...

The 2nd 10 magical nights of our B2B in the Med

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on Riviera

MEFIowa
2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

We used O's Extraordinary Savings Sale to get our B3 cabin for a mere $1749 PP plus $300 OBC PP (which paid our gratuities). So, the price alone made this trip worth it. BUT we travel for itineraries and this one did it for us. We only had the 1 sea day, which I do not enjoy that much, but we had Athens, Kavala, Istanbul, Messina, Naples, Rome, La Spezia (changed due to weather from Livorno), ...

After Five Oceania Cruises...Never Again

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Riviera

Trieste1
10+ Cruises • Age 74s

We were spoiled by our prior cruises and very disappointed with our recent cruise and the sell, sell, sell underhanded charging for services. A few examples. I booked a $199 spa treatment and I had a $50 coupon. I expected a $149 bill with optional tip, but the final bill was $247 plus optional tip because they added service and other charges not discussed with me. Next, Oceania cancelled one ...

We used O's Extraordinary Savings Sale to get our A3 cabin for a mere $1899 PP plus $425 OBC PP ($125 of it for the change from Venice to Trieste). So, the price alone made this trip worth it. BUT we travel for itineraries and this one did it for us. We only had the 1 sea day, which I do not enjoy that much, but we had Split, Bari, Kotor, Kavala, Istanbul, Izmir, Heraklion, and Athens! We only ...

Fantastic time on Riviera!

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Riviera

2-5 Cruises • Age 57s

We just returned from 10 days on the Riviera, and we had an amazing time! This was our second cruise with Oceania, having sailed on the Marina last year. We found every member of the crew to be so friendly, helpful, and professional. We were always greeted with a smile. My husband and I definitely felt spoiled by exceptional service from everyone we encountered, from our cabin steward to wait ...

Oceania? Think again….

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Riviera

EspressoK
10+ Cruises • Age 71s

Read reviews and think thrice before booking an Oceania cruise. We booked the Goddesses to Gondolas cruise because of the pleasurable experience we previously had on (pre-Covid) Oceania, and we wanted to try out the newly-refurbished Riviera. We booked this cruise more than a year before the sailing because we were told by our travel agent that these cruises sell out fast. If we had the ...

Review for a Europe - British Isles & Western Cruise on Riviera

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We sailed to Alaska on Oceania in 2013 and loved it. We haven't been able to book with Oceania again until this cruise and we were excited. We were especially anticipating the food because of our prior experience. Sadly, we were disappointed. First, the good: the rooms are roomy and beautiful. The bathroom was the best (by far) I've ever had on a ship or in many hotels. We had a great cabin ...

Best Cruise Ever on the Riviera

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on Riviera

cruiser4801
10+ Cruises • Age 60s

Having sailed on 50 cruises or more, this was the best cruise we have ever had. Everything about the ship, food, service, and cabins were first rate. Riviera is completely refurbished and looks spectacular in all areas. She is a beautiful ship inside and out. With about 1200 passengers, Riviera is large enough to give you plenty of dining options and public areas and yet small enough to ...

Review for a Baltic Sea Cruise on Riviera

10+ Cruises • Age 80s

Cruised on Oceania a few yeas ago and decided to book with them again. This was a mistake. We had a penthouse suite, it was okey. The mattress was well past its prime. It's a beautiful ship and the service was first rate. The line advertises the best cuisine at sea. I was not impressed. There are four speciality restaurants: the only one that was outstanding was the Italian restaurant. The ...
