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 - ...
We have been on Marina 4 times & once on Sirena. I won’t say there haven’t been issues here & there but I’ve found them to be wonderful, great excursions, great food. We always find plenty of good choices for excursions. Really loved the Italian cooking class we took in Rome. Lots of fun doing the excursions but even when we don’t take one Oceania provides transportation to a good spot in town & ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
We are experienced travelers on both ocean and river cruises as well as independent travel over the past 20 years. This was our fourth cruise with Oceania, we did two before COVID and one after; but this was the first on Marina. We selected this cruise because of the itinerary which included the fjords of southern Chile and Antarctica. Our previous cruises with Oceania were on the smaller ships ...
Chose this cruise for the itinerary of Argentina, Antartica and Chile, but the pretour to iguazzu falls (amazing!!! this is a fantastic pretour. Belmont hotel and our Argentinean guide Sol were a huge surprise - fabulous!) turned out to be a highlight; so consider it!
The ship is due for a retrofit and needs it. Our owners suite was huge and lovely; so no complaints there, but our friends’ ...
