Beautiful ship with lovely staff and excellent food but the entertainment fell short of what we’ve experienced with Regent on past cruises.
Constant changes to the entertainment programme. They repeated performances and also made numerous cancellations.
This was a 17 day cruise with no deck parties and there appeared to be a lack of direction from the cruise director and his wife. The ...
We're seasoned cruisers with over 30 cruises on most of the major cruiselines but not Oceania. We went on 3 Oceania Riviera cruises in 2023, Sep/Oct from Amsterdam to Barcelona and then back to back cruises in Nov/Dec from Barcelona to Istanbul and then Istanbul to Dubai. My review is on all 3 cruises on the same ship.
We booked the Holyland & Middle East cruise the first day it was available ...
So so incredibly disappointed with Oceania. Absolutely no guest/customer service. Have raised all issues with onboard team, Oceania guest relations and still no communication back. This cruise is going no where, no ports now for 9 days, even restaurants closed on some nights so no choice and tonight all specialty restaurants closed and only Grand Dining and Terrace cafe open. As to onboard ...
Viking is Fantastic! Need I say more. The friendliness of service both for our cabin and the resturaunts was more than great. Staff remembered our names, which, was very impressive. You asked for something you needed, you got it and right a way. Not hours later. We ate at the speciality resturaunts, the food was as good as eatting at a 5 star resturaunt on shore. The entertainment was impeccable. ...
I've always been interested in taking a Viking River cruise but to be perfectly honest the cost is a bit too high for my pocketbook. When I saw this Ocean Cruise in one of the ads I had been receiving it just seemed too good to pass up. 14 days, including free airfare, excursions at no charge for each port of call, no charge for wine at meals, specialty restaurants with no upcharge was right up ...
We had been on a Viking River Cruise 4 years ago and had an awesome experience! When we booked this ocean cruise we were a bit hesitant because we were afraid that nothing could compare to our river experience!
We were absolutely thrilled with the ocean too. For days we’d say we liked this or that and thought that we’d have an obvious opinion.
We determined that as Viking has such ...
This trip was a last minute plan in September, 2023. The draw was a discount fare with free airfare to the Holy Land. My siblings and I decided to sign up The Holy Land visit was cancelled due to the conflict, October, 2023. We agreed to continue with the trip. I received a single rate Was my first Viking Ocean cruise, but a veteran of other cruise lines as well as a Viking River Cruise. I was ...
We ate long time cruisers with Oceania but now a lost customer!
We booked this cruise in 2019 for 2020 travel dates. Alas pandemic curtailed those plans until this year. We in fact booked a 30 day cruise Barcelona to Dubai - never being informed that it was 2 back to back cruises - first issue as this was the start of lack of communication and guest satisfaction,
We were advised of ...
A quick review of our Southampton to New York QM2 crossing, 19-26 Nov.
I booked this trip last minute in October when I spotted a “too good to miss” deal on a sheltered verandah cabin. Only after booking did I realise that it was a literary crossing, which was a bonus!
The ship was just out of dry dock after a refit, that included new carpets, reupholstered chairs and a beautiful new floor ...
Nautica is a beautiful little ship. The crew were wonderful. Unfortunately this didn’t make up for a number of other issues relating to this supposedly upmarket company.
1. The itinerary change was so drastic it didn’t resemble what we booked in any way. Other ships still visited Egypt, Oman and Salalah and these ports were cancelled on our trip. The day we were meant to visit Athens was windy ...
