My sister celebrated her 71st Birthday on the ship - the cabin team helped make her day extremely memorable! We were all "over the moon" surprised! Never been on a Cruise line that went to this extent before!!! Well done Oceania!

Not happy with change in Itinerary - Nuuk Greenland cancelled
"Oceania should issue a refund for the lost day at Nuuk Greenland that could have been made up with an earlier arrival into Reykjavik for free leisurely daytime independent touring of the city which is close to the port.I saw some harbor porpoises, one humpback whale and puffins on a rocky island and a few arctic terns with binoculars on an independent whale watching boat (a former Icelandic fishing boat) out of Husavik, northern Iceland...."Read More

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

I had always wanted to go to Buenos Aires and Rio and thought a cruise between the 2 would be wonderful. The ship was beautifully appointed and loved the dining options. Unfortunately, the ports of call really were terrible. A great frustration was that we were going to stop in San Paolo but we stopped in Santos. The only transport they offered was to a shopping mall in Santos and no way to ...

Poorly designed ship for this cruise

We chose this cruise line based on the recommendation of friends, and the particular ship based on sailing date. What we found was that the Marina was designed strictly for tropical sailing, not colder climates. The pool area was not enclosed, and opened directly into the eating areas and passageways, leaving those areas uncomfortably cold. The upkeep on the ship was poor (lots of rust and bad ...

First I want to state that we were very excited to take this cruise and had high expectations given Oceania’s reputation. We had recently taken Holland America across the Pacific and expected this to be even better. We were terribly disappointed. The very first problem was the embarkation. The pier in Rio is large and there were 2 other ships in port at the time. It was also very crowded with ...

Disappointing for a cruise advertised as luxury

The attraction to this cruise WAS the itinerary - daytime passage through Panama Canal was a highlight and ending in Lima, Peru allowed us to knock off Machu Picchu post cruise (booked it directly through Peru For Less). The onboard staff representing 50+ countries were always helpful and efficient - a special shout out to housekeeping and Terrace Cafe staff. Disappointments: there were so many. ...

Just read an earlier review of this trip. We were also in Concierge, 9th,midship. Ams1234 is accurate in all areas. I would emphasize our extreme disappointment in the numerous descriptions of the excursions that were changed in the final description provided in the list document. The worst was Santorini,they advised in bold yellow highlighter that all bus tours included a 1/2 mile walk UPHILL not ...

We chose this cruise because we loved the itinerary, and have sailed with Oceania several times in the past. We were in a Concierage level three room on the 9th floor room. This was our fifth cruise with Oceania, and sadly it will be our last. Prior to Covid I would say the cruise line was solidly a five star line, while sometimes they had hiccups the service and food was always outstanding. I ...

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 ...

This was an expensive cruise. Food was great except for one specialty restaurant, Polo Grill. First reservation made at sea. Order of queen cut prime rib was undercook, more raw if not rare, when I ordered medium rare. The turnaround time for each course exceeded 20 minutes. I did not even have time to order dessert. The other public eating venues and specialty restaurants were very good in ...

Took cruise because it had several stops we wanted to see. Unfortunately they canceled 3 of the ports. Substitutions were less than stellar and 1 was made into a sea day and two days of very slow cruising. The service was below oceania standards. We have noticed they are slipping and this cruise shows how far down they have gone. Rooms are always cramped on oceania. The serve you food at the ...
