Cruise Lima to Papette with Marina
First checkin procedure in Callao
We were dropped off by taxi and there was already a row of a few hundred people. It certainly took almost 2 hours before we were at a bus. We had to put our suitcases ourselves in the storage space of the bus and board ourselves. No employee of Oceania is present. We had been standing in the hot sun for a long time and ...

This was our third cruise with Oceania (all on the Marina) and around 18th overall, and the first where I've felt the need to write a review on this site.
Embarkation: Not a great start. In Lima we waited an hour in line in the afternoon sun and heat at the entrance to the port to get on a bus to the ship. The only Oceania presence was a small canopy with the logo on it where you finally ...

I have been very fortunate to have travelled extensively my whole life, and I have been on many cruises. I just finished the Oceania cruise - Eternal Enchantment (16 Jan - 3 Feb 2018) and the pre-cruise tour - Machu Picchu (13-16 Jan 2018). This was the most expensive cruise (about $28,000 CAD) we (myself and my spouse) have been on, and it was also the least enjoyable cruise we have been on. ...

We have been cruising on Seabourn for years and love it.
We decided to give Oceania a chance because we liked this itinerary. It was not a good experience. Starting with embarkation which was done at Callao Lima Peru. This port has absolutely no cruise terminal facilities at all.
Passengers lined up on the dock without anyone from Oceania to greet us, direct us or answer questions. Some ...

Started in Lima den 16.01.2018
We booked the trip mostly because of the destinationstrip sounded good and free internet, :-( - The ship said it's on their website that the internet is bad???
That almost never worked, and it took so long to come across that I most often gave up
The telephone connection was also a very very big problem.....
Date 16.03.2018 in Lima
It was not ...

You only have to screw up one cruise experience to lose a devoted customer and despite 9 great experiences, the 10th one was bad enough for us to cancel a cruise scheduled for Jan '19 and put Oceania at the bottom of our cruise operator list.
We chose this cruise exclusively to see Easter Island, and took Marina because Oceania had always done a great job (9 previous cruises). Not this time! ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary, Machu Picchu, Nazca Lines and Easter Island, The pre-tour package for Machu Picchu was well worth it, the third party company chosen by Oceania was excellent.
Boarding the tender at Easter Island was exciting to say the least, the crew did a fantastic job.
I really think that Oceania has to stick to their recommendations, when the brochure says a ...

I have to agree all that has been said regards the lack of communication on this ship during the gastric virus outbreak,
Marina is a beautiful ship.The food very good and the staff we saw,work very hard and are a benefit to the company.
But,we could not understand how the captain allowed some aspects of the ship open.Why could we not put dollars in the laundry machines,yet we could put ...

Chose this cruise for itinerary. That was the only good thing. Embarkation in Lima was disgraceful. We arrived at port in taxi dropped off outside the port to be faced with a very large queue no shelter from the blistering heat, no staff present. We were then transferred to the ship by bus to be met with an even longer queue, waiting to embark,we even had to unload our own cases from the bus, no ...

Beautiful ship decor to match any 6 star hotel.
How ever......
When faced with a gastric bug hitting crew and staff leaving Lima and continuing for the full length of our trip never being under control, we both suffered the day after leaving the ship.
The jacuzzis were never closed or the pool.
Activities were curtailed so the saving to Ociana must have been huge.
Trivia was ...
