The Good The Bad And Why
"We chose this cruise as we always do based on the excursions but in this case, my husband contracted COVID on the ship so this review will address the first few days of our trip pre-sickness, their COVID protocol and what benefits we were able to receive from this very expensive (around 30 grand) trip.My husband got sick the morning of day 4 and medical care is horrifically expensive (just short of 5 grand - for which they get written preapproval) but really, really good...."Read More

Disappointing Oceania experience

We choose to try Oceania after having done a number of Azamara cruises because we’d heard Oceania/Rivera was a little more upmarket, great food, better cruise experience despite Oceania being more expensive than the comparable Azamara for a midship upgraded cabin. It started well, boarding experience good, cabin shower/bathroom space a plus. Then to the cafe area - always overcrowded & made worse ...

We chose this cruise as we always do based on the excursions but in this case, my husband contracted COVID on the ship so this review will address the first few days of our trip pre-sickness, their COVID protocol and what benefits we were able to receive from this very expensive (around 30 grand) trip. We went with the penthouse suite which is very pretty but is technically just an over-sized ...

I was invited to post this review here after posting it on the Boards. Happy to do so. My rating of 4 stars is only because I didn't feel 3 stars was sufficient. If I could rate it more appropriately, it would get 3.5 stars. This review ONLY focuses on the Owners Suite, and issues I found with it. After the initial critical review, I'm going to add another post I made when somebody asked me ...

Pros: Amazing crew, who were attentive, friendly and professional. Less people so quick embarkation/disembarkation. Beautiful cabin: Marble bathroom with walk-in shower, very comfortable bed, luxury bath products, fridge filled with drinks, bottled water in stateroom, lots of entertainment on TV Our cabin steward was one of the best we've ever had. Cabin was spotless, 2x daily turn ...

Food did not live up to the marketing, ongoing argument during cruise regarding our account spoilt holiday

We chose the cruise due to the marketing around the quality of the food and the emphasis on service. Whilst the food was, in the main adequate to good, it was not the best cuisine. Also, I had the lobster in the Polo Grill and it was inedible ! We had prepaid excursions however, when we got on board, this was disputed by Reception, as was the fact that our package included gratuities. We had ...

This was our second cruise on the Riviera. The food quality and service quality have fallen significantly over the past year. We went on our first Oceania cruise in 2014 on the sister ship, Marina, for a Baltic cruise. We could not believe how wonderful and attentive the staff was. The shore excursions were great and fairly priced. The food and drink service was outstanding. Last year we ...

This was our second Oceania cruise. We took one about three years ago on the Marina in the Mediterranean. While we enjoyed Oceania the first time, we were disappointed this time. One of the main things that was bothersome was the terrible internet service onboard. We experienced this last cruise, but thought that with time, they might improve it. Alas, they did not. Think of old school dial ...
