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!

Wonderful SA and antarctic experience.

Great experience overall. Although we were not aware in advance that they would have experts on board - geologist, naturalist/conservationist, bird expert, photographer, and historian. Having experts on board with educational talks and a scheduled daily session to answer questions was great. Turns out we knew one of the experts, and the boat was quite accommodating to allow us to meet with him in ...

Frustration and Disappointment

First I want to state that we were very excited to take this cruise and had high expectations given Oceania’s reputation. We had recently taken Holland America across the Pacific and expected this to be even better. We were terribly disappointed. The very first problem was the embarkation. The pier in Rio is large and there were 2 other ships in port at the time. It was also very crowded with ...

We spent 39 days on the Marina (back to back Miami to Lima and Lima to Buenos Aires) and so happy to finally make it home. The cruise had a few wonderful highlights separated by long boring stretches. We have cruised 20+ times but only our second time with Oceania. The first was in Asia in 2016 and all that could go wrong did. All the regulars told us this was out of norm and that Oceania ...

We chose this cruise because it was going to Antarctica at the time that suited us. We have sailed Regent before and had good reviews of Oceania. How wrong we were. This cruise was awful from boarding queues to the end. Oceania at minimum misrepresented this cruise and at worst, outright lied about the ship's amenities. Let's start... Boarding Disorganization was so awful in Lima that ...

Disappointing for a cruise advertised as luxury

The attraction to this cruise WAS the itinerary - daytime passage through Panama Canal was a highlight and ending in Lima, Peru allowed us to knock off Machu Picchu post cruise (booked it directly through Peru For Less). The onboard staff representing 50+ countries were always helpful and efficient - a special shout out to housekeeping and Terrace Cafe staff. Disappointments: there were so many. ...

The itinerary was our deciding factor for choosing this Cruiseline/Ship. The dates also matched up with when we wanted to be away. Add in that this itinerary knocked a ton of items off our BUCKET LIST: • Crossing the “Tropic of Cancer” • Visit Central America • Transit the Panama Canal • Crossing the “Equator” • Visit South America • Penthouse suite on a Cruise Ship! (Thanks to ...

Going on a Panama Canal cruise from Miami to Lima Peru was on our bucket list. The itinerary was terrific. The boat is old and needs renovation to to bottom. Unfortunately, we are on this tub again in June from Lisbon to Oslo for 23 days. The scheduled renovations will only touch the Penthouses and common areas, not the balcony staterooms. We were lied to about this from several sources onboard. ...

Over promise and under perform

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

This cruise line not only fails to live up to promises but also fails in its communication with passengers. One is treated as a commodity not a person by many, not all, staff. It seemed the more senior the more they under performed. Complaints on board were met with a blank stare or excuses not explanations or apologies. Food was poor to ok, with worst in the specialty French and Italian ...

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We chose this cruise mainly for the itinerary (we hadn't been to Morocco), which was cancelled before we left and replaced with Palma de Majorca (our 5th time there). We watched quite a few U-Tubes that seemed to indicate that Oceania was comparable to Viking (which is our favorite ocean line). Viking has one infuriating Con, which is, they demand FULL payment for a cruise one year to two ...

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 ...
