Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Marina

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 ...

This was our second cruise with Oceania, although we are frequent cruisers. This cruise did not disappoint. The staff were excellent, extremely friendly yet professional. It is lovely when they remember your name and I marvel at their ability to learn new names every few weeks! The ship was spotlessly clean and had plenty of seating and pool chairs all the time so there was no sense of ...

Looking for a three-fer: Machu Picchu, Panama Canal, and Chichen Itza, BUT 1. Turmoil in Peru - no Pre cruise visits 2. Canal - cool; bucket list, but poor excursions 3. Railroad repairs blocking roads, no Big Mayan event. 1 of 3 done. Cabin and floor crew - outstanding - 10 floor Dining - good specialties, fair grand dining room; Terrace - just no. Food availability limited - ...

Would not do this cruise again. Many ports were small towns with not much to see. Several ports canceled. Weather was bad. Food was great and so was the service. Older ship to be refurbished. Our cabin was balcony and average to smaller that Celebrity. Dinning Room was great and so was the food. We only did private tours. Loved seeing Uruguay, but Skipped Falkland Islands because of ...

Wanted to do South America in comfort.. this was our 3rd cruise with Oceana Most of the staff were wonderful, some of the staff when just mechanical in responses some were totally arrogant, dismissive and could not care less - not just us but others also. Internet access and speed (lack of - worse than the old dial-up) - allowing just one log-in per cabin - when two people are in the cabin is ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary, food expectations, and service levels. Not sure they lived up to any of it. While they cannot do anything about the weather (cancelling the Falklands) and uprisings (cancelling Pisco), their complete inability to communicate was unacceptable. Pisco was cancelled before we even boarded, but they told no-one. We only learned about it by the itinerary ...

Worst Cruise experience

10+ Cruises • Age 50s

We chose this cruise for two reasons. First, to spend time with my parents who traveled with us, and to see the southern part of South America which we had not seen prior. From that standpoint we accomplished goal one, and partially goal two. I'm a cruise veteran, having been on seven different cruise lines, for a total of 18 cruises. This was by far the worst experience we've had ...

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

We’ve had four successful cruises with Oceania, including the Amazon, so continuing around South America with them seemed obvious. A sad mistake. Our experience has been that it was very poorly planned by the itinerary team from the outset, we suffered three failed port visits for a mix of weather and ‘safety concerns’ (one, the Falklands, not unusual, but three!). The low point was a port ...

10+ Cruises • Age 80s

Being able to visit Antarctica and experience the adventure from the comfort of a luxury ship was fantastic. NCLH (Oceania's parent company) spent years developing this program and assembled a world-class team to interpret what we were seeing so we got the most out of our time there. They offered excellent programs every day and were available for one-on-one conversations throughout the voyage. ...
