"We have sailed on Oceania 5 times on their smaller ships and loved them. We were a bit nervous about the bigger ships, thinking it might lose that personal touch, but it was great. Even with 1000 people, nothing..."Read More
Having already covered the mainstream Med ports pretty thoroughly, we chose this cruise because they offered places we had not been to. Having settled on the itinerary we then read reviews and were quickly sold on Oceania thanks to the positive reports. None of them were wrong.
The ship is beautiful and wonderfully maintained, the crew are all totally friendly and more than eager to ...
We selected this cruise based on the itinerary. We wanted to spend some time in Portugal before boarding the ship. We also appreciated the fact that the airfare was included in the cruise package. We were able to change our flight departure for a nominal fee to accommodate the five pre-cruise days spent in Porto and Lisbon. We were also able to fly to a different city at the end of the cruise, at ...
Great ports to visit. The ship itself was 1st class in every way.
We chose a penthouse which was spacious and very well designed.
THE ENTIRE STAFF WERE EXTREMELY FRIENDLY AND
The speciality restaurants were great, although we felt that the french restaurant was the weakest, while others thought it was the best.
WE THOUGHT THAT THE ENTERTAINMENT WAS FOR THE MOST PART SO-SO AND ...
We chose this cruise for the ports as there were quite a few we had not been to previously. We particularly wanted to go to Cinque Terre which we visited from Livorno. We also had the opportunity to have an overnight in Lisbon - a fabulous city.
We found both the food and the service outstanding. The buffet was so good that we never went to the main dining room in the evenings. However we ...
We have sailed on Oceania 5 times on their smaller ships and loved them. We were a bit nervous about the bigger ships, thinking it might lose that personal touch, but it was great. Even with 1000 people, nothing ever seemed crowded. The staff was outstanding and the food was wonderful. Oceania always has slightly more imaginative itineraries than the other luxury lines, like Seabourn and ...
We just returned from this cruise and I wanted to make sure I posted a review because it was such a wonderful experience. My husband and I cruised with Oceania last year on the Nautica Athens to Istanbul cruise and loved it. We booked the Lisbon to Rome tour while on board last year (nice discount!) and upgraded from a concierge level veranda to a penthouse 3. Based on our great experiences with ...
We traveled on Azamara's Quest July of 2011 along the Dalmation Coast and Oceania Riviera June of 2012 Western Mediterranean, both with our college-aged children. We enjoyed both trips and would be happy to travel with either ship again in the future! The two lines appear to be competing for the same clientele, so we would recommend you go with the better deal and the ports that interests you ...
We spent 10 fabulous days aboard Riviera. The ship is decorated and furnished both beautifully and tastefully. The artwork is impressive. My wife and I were celebrating my 50th birthday. We are very active and love to cook and eat and socialize. Because there was only one Riviera review prior to sailing due to being a new ship, we only had the Marina reviews to go on and were hopeful that we ...
