We chose this cruise because we had believed the publicity that dining with Oceania was outstanding. We were so disappointed. First let me tell you about the plus side of our sail. Our Penthouse Suite was all that we'd expected and more. The view from the balcony and the extra window was interesting and bright. The butler and maid service was very good. The shows, which we'd been led to ...
This was our 5th cruise on Oceania, and it was as great as always. We were on the Baltic cruise and although we had been to a number of the ports there were some we hadn't visited. Since the ship is only in most ports a day, there is always something new we find to explore even though we have been in the port before.
There were only about 350 passengers (so we heard) on our cruise. Needless to ...
We booked this cruise on board in December 2019 just before COVID hit. Were looking forward to St. Petersburg which was dropped due to the war and overnights were added near the end of the cruise.
Service aboard was way above excellent. Food was back up to pre covid levels. OLife Excursions were good to excellent.
Because this cruise was low % of passengers, we noticed the upgrade of ...
This was a cruise that we had booked for 2020 and then 2021. We finally got to do it in 2022. Prior to our cruise we did a 10 day tour of Tuscany all on our own. That's another story. We ended up in Venice where the cruise was supposed to start. We found out a couple of months before that the cruise would start in Trieste instead. Oceania said that they would provide a bus to take everyone to ...
This cruise sailed from Trieste, although originally advertised to depart from Venice. Whilst the change of embarkation ports was understandable, the service provided by Oceania for embarkation was sadly lacking.
Upon arrival at Venice airport early in the morning, there was no ship's representative to be seen in the arrival hall to assist with luggage and direct us to the bus which would take ...
We were on the May 14-21, 2022 cruise from Trieste (originally supposed to be Venice) to (Civitevechia sp?) Rome. We have cruised with Oceania (Riviera & Marina) 3 other times. Each trip has been wonderful, so much so that we don't want to take a chance on booking with another line, although I'm sure most are also good.
The only disappointment was that we were supposed to receive a ...
I choose this cruise because it itinerary was Barcelona to Venice and Oceania reputation.
Oceania knew the ship would not port in Venice as advertised but waited to inform passengers just a few weeks before sailing. The April itinerary had already been changed. Venice excursion information was delayed until after the deadline to cancel. My Oceania rep assured me there would be several ...
This was an unusual cruise in that it was originally slated to be on a much smaller ship, the Sirena and was moved to the Marina along with an itinerary change. Marina can accommodate 1200 passengers. This sailing there were 406 passengers with a crew of approx. 730 so the staff to passenger ratio was very high and passengers enjoyed the roominess aboard.
This is our fourth time sailing on ...
This is the first negative review I have ever posted on this site.
Our cruise on the Oceania Marina from Miami first week in March 2022 was as rough sea for 3 days on our way to Curacao and coming back to Miami. I discussed this with some employees on the ship. They were told that because there were only less than 400 passengers(normal 1,200 passengers), they did not use the Stabilizers because ...
After two years of landlocked, it was wonderful to be back on the water
We did have a few glitches with paperwork at the Santiago airport, COVID related.
A few mandatory ANTIGEN Tests throughout the sail, masks and common sense kept everyone healthy
As always, the staff were on their game with holiday decorations and smiles everywhere.
At about 25% capacity, we had several fabulous ...
