Southampton to the Transatlantic Oceania Cruise Reviews

My husband and I chose this cruise because of past experiences with Oceania. The Vista is wonderful but does not quite live up to the hype. We always book in the concierge level. The cabins are well planned with lots of storage. The bathroom is luxurious with a shower that is one of the best ever. The specialty restaurants are the best with the exception of the new Ember. It is loud and difficult ...

We have travelled on Oceania once (or twice) before when we had a one week stretch with no kids with us, so we’ve had some experience with them. It’s funny how there are so many similarities between the lines we’ve traveled (more commonality I would say than ‘not’), so these comparisons are somewhat for my own memory when we are ready to book again. When we book a trip, the experience we ...

We chose this cruise as we enjoyed a Translantic 10 year ago, and wanted to see Ireland, Newfoundland, and Saint Pierre. The ship was beautiful. Food still as good as always (except was disappointed with Embers, wish they change it to Jaques), Service was excellent with the room stewards, however in the food venues it was slow responses. Ports of call were well received and tours were ...

Southampton to New York via France, Ireland plus the Canadian and American Atlantic Seaboard. This cruise went to many places we had not visited before. Unfortunately due to hurricane Lee we missed 3 of the ports of call. Vista is a big ship with about 1250 passengers and the accommodation was excellent. The restaurants also provided high quality cuisine except the Ember Restaurant which was a ...

Having just completed a cruise on Oceania’s new ship, Vista. I would like to share my observations about the Vista as compared to their sister ships, Marina and Riviera. Things that were eliminated: No Jacques (our favorite speciality restaurant), no Coffee Corner in Horizons (our favorite breakfast place), no Prime Rib in Polo (our favorite meal), no La Reserve, no Grand Bar, no Wine Bar, ...

Food in the dining room was usually wonderful but it takes FOREVER to get through a meal. Food in the Terrace was often not hot and honestly pretty ordinary. The specialty restaurants continue to maintain their reputations for quality. One thing new in the Terrace is the way the waiters snatch your plate away.....one tried to pick up my half eaten breakfast! They're in a big hurry for some ...

We got a great deal so the trip was a no-brainer. The room was as advertised. Large compared to our other cruises. I know that baths are important to some, but I think those square feet could be better spent elsewhere. I loved the little extras. Free sodas and water and self serve laundry services. I didn't feel that Oceania was trying to nickel and dime us. The food in the main dining room ...

Didn't get to use the outdoor eating area or pool due to bad weather so kind of hard to really enjoy the ship. The staff was amazing. We did find the service in the dining room not as good as our last Oceania cruise. There were lots of empty tables but they put us in the corner with no view etc. Our waiter had a hard time understanding our dinner requests. We were a little uncomfortable. We ...
