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!

A Nice Cruise- but not premium
"We had room service breakfast every day because it was a port intensive cruise and we were usually up and out early in the morning.This was the only day we had rain- so did not go into Naples when we returned to the ship...."Read More

Our first cruise since 2012. Everything on Marina lived up to what we remember in terms of great and attentive service. there are always a few crew members who show indifference but the vast majority were wonderful. The measure of service is whether the service during the last 36 hours of a cruise was a good as the first 36. Oceania pretty much nailed it. The Spanish Market dinners in the ...

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary. We have not cruised on Oceania before, but got the brochure and it had places we wanted to go. This was our first post -covid cruise. We had bought our cruise just before the Simply More promotions- so wine was not included. Overall, it was a very nice ship-we had a few issues with the trim in our cabin popping off and problems with the sliding ...

Oceania is known for finest cuisine at sea but it seemed its quality has gone a bit downhill. The dish presentation is very dull and seemed many people can do a better job at home. In general service is good but could be better as it named itself as luxury cruise line. Entertainment is limited as the ship itself is not big. Sometimes you find not much to do on the ship. Luckily there is music ...

We picked the cruise for the itinerary. We were able to get Greece, Israel, and Turkey on one trip with the bonus of starting in Barcelona. We were originally booked into standard balcony class on deck eight. We were offered a modestly priced upgrade to concierge class on deck ten and decided to try it. We spent three days in Barcelona (our second time there). The highlight was a food and wine ...

We chose this trip mainly for the Israel focus and spent three days there. The excursions are always expensive and in Israel the guides were useless, which was frustrating. Also there were no port talks; odd; though most people now have to book before they get on board. Booking was sometimes complicated pre-cruise. The ship is a size we like 1200 pax and it has all the usual stuff. We like ...

After having 4-5 good cruises on RCL, my wife and we're looking for a "step above" cruise and had heard nothing but glowing praise about Oceania cruises. The ship (Marina) was lovely. For the most part, the food and service were impeccable. Our cabin (B1 class, 282 square ft with veranda) was very nice. HIGHS:. Cabin service, free room service and free laundry service. Pool & spa. ...

My father-in-law decided to take the entire family on a cruise. This consisted of him and his wife, my brother-in-law, his wife, and their baby (who was about 1.5 years old), and my husband and myself. We opted for a cruise from Lisbon to Barcelona. Although I've only been on a couple of cruises prior, both my husband and his father have been on considerable more. This was, however, the first ...

This was our 8th cruise with Oceania and our first after the pandemic. Some have mentioned that the ship decor is dated, which I agree with, however, I heard they are renovating the ship in a few months. The restaurants were great as usual - my favorite was Jacques. The spa was wonderful and the cooking class was a lot of fun. While there are still many things to love about Oceania - the ...

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 was our first time on Oceania. The ship had about 600 passengers, so a little over half capacity and the COVID restrictions were in force. So I'm not sure if it was a "normal" cruise and that may have contributed to our less than perfect experience. We arrived in Rome a few days early. I had used Oceania Custom Air because airlines were cancelling and changing flights due to covid ...
