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!

Sadly disappointing

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Didn’t live up to its reputation or brand

We chose the cruise primarily for the destinations/ports as we were doing a memorial trip for family. This was meant to be a once-in-a-lifetime trip so we splurged on a suite, which was wonderful, and the butler service associated with it was excellent, as you would expect. Unfortunately, for a cruise line that bills itself as having the best food at sea, we just didn’t find that to be true. ...

We selected this cruise because I wanted to go across the Atlantic one more time; however, as a civilian. I have several transatlantic crossings under my belt as a USN sailor. This particular cruise had several stops, as some do not. This made my wife happy. We also got a very good price by booking about two years in advance. The food was great. The entertainment was better than average. Having ...

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 ...

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 ...

This is our second cruise with Oceania on the Marina this year, but unfortunately we won't be actively checking out Oceania cruises for our next trips - we really wanted to like them! The ship is nice, a good size, public areas and spaces are very well appointed and maintained. They also have some nice itineraries, and being a smaller/mid-sized ship can get into most places We travelled as ...

We went on our second Oceania cruise two weeks ago on the Marina. We had taken an Oceania cruise to Cuba on the Sirina about a year ago. We had heard such wonderful things about the Marina, large cabins, great service and great food. We have been consistent Crystal cruisers. (18 over the years) The Marina is a small ship, the type we like and the cabins are a bit larger than Crystals. ...
