See my Sirena review - many of the comments are the same. NOT THE FINEST CUISINE AT SEA (as Oceania claims) - in fact, far from it.
One of my main grouses on this cruise was the fact that I fell really ill during the cruise. Of course I don't blame Oceania for that. But my partner went down to say we would have to cancel our participation in 2 excursions we had booked. Too late for a refund. I ...
We chose the cruise because of the Panama Canal transit. The shore excursions were very long involving much time in a coach. The itineraries were inflexible and at the mercy of the shoreside Tourist company. It was a pity that the stay in Nicaragua was cancelled but another destination could have been included. We spent 9 days at sea during a 20 day cruise. Service was patchy and it would seem ...
My first cruise with Oceania was in 2015 on the Riveria. Terrific itinerary from Athens to Barcelona. We enjoyed it immensely. Not so much years later. I felt stuck in a time warp with the EXACT SAME formulaic routine. Boring !
Oceania could be a fantastic option but has failed to keep up with the times and is stuck in an era that my mother barely remembers ! I love the idea of a quieter, ...
Currently on board Marina on second leg of two from Amsterdam to London-19 days.
This is 4th cruise with Oceania and first post Covid.
Very sad to report, in my opinion, the Oceania of the pass is no longer a float.
We have experienced almost across the board changes in service, food quality and selection and poor attitudes.
Transfers from the hotel in Amsterdam was simply chaotic to ...
Oceania markets itself as a luxury brand, but did not meet my expectations.
Service: This is such an important part of trying to distinguish oneself from other cruise lines. Service felt unorganized, as if this is the first week on the job for many workers. Staff in the Terrace Cafe buffet needs to be trained what they are serving. I needed to cancel the reservation at Jacques (due to ...
This was a somewhat spontaneous cruise for us, as we had an unexpected travel window open up. After searching various destinations and travel options, I found this one with the PERFECT itinerary and booked a cabin just a month before departure. I've read various reviews and they are all either glowing or damning for Oceania and I really wasn't sure what to expect. What I kept saying to my husband ...
We sailed from Hamburg (departure June 9) to Oslo (arrival July 1 2023). Right from the beginning we ralised that the atmosphere was different: not so friendly, polite and professional. This could be ascribed to the fact that this cruise, or part of it, was offered at very low, almost dumping, prices to people booking after March. Something, we learned from friends who took advantage of this ...
CD Corey is fantastic at team trivia and very kind. Very entertaining when he is on duty.
His assistant was irritating and did not know how he should do this team trivia.
Paulo (barista) and the man who makes the smoothies were very kind.
The captain was invisible and even did not join the welcome party and the repeaters party.
Why doesn’t he sail on a cargo ship?!
The ‘music’ at ...
We sailed the Amsterdam to Hamburg cruise with a few days at cruise selected pre cruise hotel. Day of sailing we waited 90 minutes after the pickup time at hotel in a small room with no seating. NO BUS NO Information. We were told the bus broke and no idea when we might be picked up but a rep would walk us on a LOVELY walk to the ship RESULT a 2 mile trek to the ship with carry two carry on bags. ...
We have always done independent travel and love being on our own schedule. This cruise was a first for us and we were apprehensive about being with so many others on a set schedule. As it turns out we had much more freedom than anticipated and we thoroughly enjoyed our fellow passengers as well as the kind and hard working crew.
We chose this cruise based on itinerary. We were blessed with ...
