This was our 3rd cruise and second with Oceania. Our first cruise was to French Polynesia on Regatta and was cut short due to the Covid outbreak. Despite this setback, we were very impressed and pleased with everything, especially the food and based on this experience, booked our most recent cruise with Oceania again. This most recent cruise was again on Regatta. A 16 day voyage visiting ports in ...

This was our first cruise with Oceania and a small ship. It was great we could stop at places that larger ships do not visit. Staff and food were really excellent, but the entertainment was not as good or varied as a bigger ship can provide. Our cabin was on Level 7 (A1Concierge Veranda) and it was disappointing to discover our hand basin was cracked, the soap dish was badly chipped and then ...

Falls short of the mark

Oceania bills itself as luxury cruising with gourmet dining. It misses both those marks by lack of attention to the details that separate luxury from everyday. The very first impression is when you are checked in. Instead of entering into a beautiful lobby, you are herded into the back door by the Regatta Lounge. Instead of actually going into the lounge, a staff member briefs a group on the life ...

We are long time Oceania aficionados, and were very much looking forward to this cruise from Singapore to Sydney. The Regatta is a small ship (and I mention this as a plus) which was last refurbished in 2019. While I have no complaints about the condition of the ship, it does not have the "wow" factor many people are looking for while cruising. My biggest complaint is the unfortunate decline ...

This was our first time on an Oceania ship. Friends had said they were very good and considered a "higher level" cruise line. Was really looking forward to the trip. We did a 14 day portion of the 77 day trip from LA to Sydney. The hotels chosen by Oceania for before and after cruise stay in Tokyo and HK were wonderful. However there was a confusion re bus number on embarkation day to take us ...

My wife and I were on an Oceania Insignia Mediterranean cruise years ago. The food and overall experience was amazing!!! We have done Regent and RC cruises, but have been mainly using Holland America for cruises (love the Pinnacle class ships!) We wanted to do another Oceania cruise... mainly for the food. We were on The Regatta for the September 27 through October 4 cruise "California ...

Inconsistent service and quality of food

We wanted a close to home cruise line, meaning a short air flight, and a short cruise to test the quality of the food and service. I read many Oceania threads on Cruise Critic and appreciated being able to take our own wine on-board, good food, and what I interpreted to be a mature yet lively clientele. We wanted a nice cabin with a good bathroom. We loved our cabin. We had a dedicated butler ...

Have only been on larger ships from Celebrity and Royal Caribbean. Wanted to try a smaller ship. We were very happy with our 1st experience on Oceania/Regatta. Ground transportation from LAX to ship was effortless as was our return. The same for Embarkation/Disembarkation - very organized. We are not “foodies” and enjoyed all the restaurants including the 2 specialty restaurants. We recvd ...

Oceania Didn't Hit The Mark This Time

We are repeat customers of Oceania (fifth time for my wife, third for me) but first time on Regatta and first cruise post-pandemic. Compared to previous Oceania cruises, we found the food and service generally mediocre. Terrace Cafe items mostly bland (including two days of the most flavorless Mexican we've ever eaten) and at least once, the Grand Dining Room menu included many of the same items ...

Just got back from a week long cruise on Oceania regatta and wanted to share my opinions/ experience of the ship/cruise line vs Silversea for those that are interested in seeing a comparison. It was 19 years ago when we last cruised on the Regatta which was our first Oceania ship. I would have to say that Oceania did a wonderful job refurbishing this ship, so if all the other R size ships ...
