1-10 of 34 Oceania Marina Cruise Reviews for Gourmet Food to Europe - British Isles & Western
The weather played havoc with our cruise and while I understand that no-one can control that, I'm not sure that the best decisions were always made. We missed a day in Bordeaux and Tangier - both highlights of the cruise. We had 4 sea days instead of one, although we were compensated with a future cruise credit.
Embarkation during a storm was a disaster. We had to drop untagged luggage at one ...
We responded to a special offer as we liked the look of the itinerary. Some guests arriving by private car found that the problems started before boarding as they had not been sent luggage labels. We phoned in advance to ask about this and were told that we get them at check-in. Great, but by then we would have dropped our car off for parking and our bags would have been taken by the baggage ...
We chose the cruise because of the Panama Canal transit. The shore excursions were very long involving much time in a coach. The itineraries were inflexible and at the mercy of the shoreside Tourist company. It was a pity that the stay in Nicaragua was cancelled but another destination could have been included. We spent 9 days at sea during a 20 day cruise. Service was patchy and it would seem ...
Oceania markets itself as a luxury brand, but did not meet my expectations.
Service: This is such an important part of trying to distinguish oneself from other cruise lines. Service felt unorganized, as if this is the first week on the job for many workers. Staff in the Terrace Cafe buffet needs to be trained what they are serving. I needed to cancel the reservation at Jacques (due to ...
We sailed from Hamburg (departure June 9) to Oslo (arrival July 1 2023). Right from the beginning we ralised that the atmosphere was different: not so friendly, polite and professional. This could be ascribed to the fact that this cruise, or part of it, was offered at very low, almost dumping, prices to people booking after March. Something, we learned from friends who took advantage of this ...
CD Corey is fantastic at team trivia and very kind. Very entertaining when he is on duty.
His assistant was irritating and did not know how he should do this team trivia.
Paulo (barista) and the man who makes the smoothies were very kind.
The captain was invisible and even did not join the welcome party and the repeaters party.
Why doesn’t he sail on a cargo ship?!
The ‘music’ at ...
We sailed the Amsterdam to Hamburg cruise with a few days at cruise selected pre cruise hotel. Day of sailing we waited 90 minutes after the pickup time at hotel in a small room with no seating. NO BUS NO Information. We were told the bus broke and no idea when we might be picked up but a rep would walk us on a LOVELY walk to the ship RESULT a 2 mile trek to the ship with carry two carry on bags. ...
We are an active couple in our early 50s. We have been cruising for 30 years and have been on most of the lines. Lately we've been on a big Royal ship, 2 small Celebrity ships, the Virgin ship and we did a Baltic cruise in August on Celebrity Apex.
We went with 4 other couples all in their early 50s.
Embarkation was easy. In this particular port (Lisbon) you get on the ship by climbing ...
We initially selected this cruise back in 2019, based on the itinerary especially calling into St Petersburg for 2 nights, but of course this was cancelled.
The ports were varied from great ( Stockholm, Copenhagen, Helsinki,Talinn) to average(Riga, Gdansk, due to the excursion, an hour on the bus and very limiting time and a lot of guide talk) to not so good at all- Aarhus and Kotka. Visby was ...
We sailed aboard Oceania Marina from Lisbon to Monte Carlo Sept 29 – to Oct 6 2019. Our expectations and excitement for the journey as well as the Marina were high based on much research and Oceania’s marketing. Our cruise experience was not five star/luxury, intimate, personal, or warm.
Cabin and Concierge Service
Cabin service was average, but not personalized or attentive beyond usual ...
