Oceania Insignia Inside Cabin Cruise Reviews

After 45 cruises, the sale prices on Caribbean cruises due to the cancellation of Cuban cruises and the luxury, premier branding of Oceania convinced us to try the Insignia. The ship itself is truly a classic beauty! Unfortunately, we did not experience the premier service and the excellence of food that Oceania advertises. The food in the Grand Dining room was okay: choices were very limited ...

Just off Insignia from an 11-night Eastern Caribbean itinerary. This was our 44th cruise overall, but first on Oceania. While there were some things to like on this cruise, we were underwhelmed overall. We do not plan on cruising on O again, and certainly not on the R-class ships. Details follow; see near the bottom for comments on accessibility (ADA) features: The Good: Service was very ...

I chose this cruise because of the ports it included specifically Quebec City, Charlottetown, New York, and Bermuda. The rest I didn’t really care one way or another. Both Charlottetown and Bermuda were cancelled - not Oceania’s fault for Bermuda - weather was bad. Substituted Corner Brook,Nfld for Charlottetown- not impressed - never heard a reason. 2 other Canadian ports were cancelled due to ...

I had been researching around the world cruises for the last four years, in preparation for giving myself one as a retirement gift. After comparing many, I selected this one for its outstanding itinerary, which no other ship came even close to. The ship was just refurbished weeks before we embarked, and was like new. The crew was excellent, with superb service. The entertainment was very ...

We chose this cruise for its itinerary and to cruise again with Oceania. I've been on 24 cruises (ocean and river). Oceania to the Med was one of the best, and this one (Montreal to New York) was the only bad one. The buffet area was seriously understaffed. We were ignored at tea one day and then insulted by the maitre d when we asked (very politely and quietly) to be served. But the ...

We were looking for a different itinerary and sailing to Canada and Bermuda were appealing. We had not been on Oceania before and heard many good things about the line; and we were not disappointed. The outstanding service and fine dining enhanced the experience of sailing on a smaller ship. The friendly and attentive staff were never aggressive in encouraging purchase of drinks or sale items. ...

Chose this for the itinerary. Food and service great. The food selection in buffet/ terrace was excellent and the serving staff were always smiling and happy., The Menu in the grand dinning room was really good. I had a dietary requirement and made my selection a day in advance although this was change 3 times by the chef. Went to the Polo grill for a Valentine dinner, expected a table for 2 ...

First time on an Oceania cruise. Unfortunately our cruise ended on Thursday, Dec. 11th. When we were docked in St. Lucia on Thurs morning, apparently a fire broke out in the engine room that eventually caused 3 people dead. I was about finished breakfast around 9:15 on Deck 9 where buffet breakfast was served. All of a sudden, power went out. They announced there was a fire on Deck 1 Aft (which ...

I'm quite late in reviewing my cruise from almost a year ago, but wanted to at least write a short review, my first on Cruise Critic despite numerous posts elsewhere on the site. We've done 12 ocean cruises, most on Oceania, and I have enjoyed all of them. Just as background, we are 2 early sixties folks and average 1 or sometimes 2 cruises a year. We've taken 2 Caribbean cruises on ...
