Transpacific Luxury Cruises Reviews

We are avid travellers and have been on numerous cruises including many with Oceania. Here's an overview of our most recent cruise with Oceania on the ship Regatta. The food is very good when it comes to your table hot. There were a few times in the dining room when the food was luke warm and we were served food on plates and bowls that were chipped or damaged. The buffet food is hit or ...

We were on the Regatta from Australia to New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa x 2 and French Polynesia. My feedback is as follows: 1. Staff - very friendly and generally eager to please. However, tend to be a number who lack training, so service is variable. 2. Cabins - please don't pretend they are state rooms, it insults the passengers! Generally basic, but good enough, but shower area is tiny. Bigger ...

We chose Viking based on cruise ratings and have sailed on over 30 ocean cruises. Our review benchmark used 2019 sailings on HAL and Regent. The Star passenger areas are in good shape for the ship's age. However the ship is small and suffers from excessive pitch and heave in the typical Pacific 6 to 9 foot swells as compared to larger ships such as the HAL Westerdam, which we took on a nearly ...

This was a great cruise, and the sea days were filled with as much activity as you wanted. However, the included excursions in Hawaii were not good. They were poor choices of places to visit, and the trip to Pearl Harbor was too short. You had to rush through the exhibits and this should have been the only thing scheduled for the day. There were also hidden charges at Pearl Harbor that we were ...

The ship appearance, crew attitude, pianist performance were great. The theater we visited once. There were long lines to get in. We were not too impressed with the variety of food in the cafeteria (World cafe). They also did not extend lunch beyond 2:30 on port days, so you missed the main lunch then. The hamburger counter had to be used instead if you took an excursion. The included ...

I love sea days. This cruise had 20. We went to tropical paradise places I could never had dreamed possible. Viking has absolutely the best service I have ever enjoyed on a ship. Happy, friendly and exceedingly helpful staff everywhere. Viking should not be anyone’s first cruise. You need to experience the others to really appreciate the difference. Twice a day cabin service, fresh water and ...

Just got back from a week long cruise on Oceania regatta and wanted to share my opinions/ experience of the ship/cruise line vs Silversea for those that are interested in seeing a comparison. It was 19 years ago when we last cruised on the Regatta which was our first Oceania ship. I would have to say that Oceania did a wonderful job refurbishing this ship, so if all the other R size ships ...

My husband and I wanted a romantic getaway and Oceana was advertised about being luxury and amazing food. After several other cruises we thought we would give it a go thinking it could be right for us... 1. Food was not amazing. We had about 50% success rate with the meals. A few were very good. They are catering to an older crowd and not a foodie crowd. 2. Older crowd is the focus 75+ ...

We love cruising. This was our 21st cruise and first on Regent. It was our 3rd cruise this year also. Our room was on the 6th floor. When we arrived we found it was at the end of the hall and out a door which lead to the wellness center. Our room was the only one out there and was between 2 fire doors. People going to work out had two doors slamming all the time. Even 4 am. We went to take a ...

We were disappointed with the cruise from Vancouver to Tokyo, for it lacked the five star quality that we were expecting. We have been on over 20 cruises, and in certain areas-like the internet and excursions-it was by far the worse of any cruise. Perhaps Regent is now a three star line. I will start with The Good. The food ranged from good to excellent, with the specialty restaurants and ...
