My wife and I generally travel on the luxury lines and decided to try Oceania for the first time in 9 years. We booked well in advance and chose the 100 square foot Oceania suite which was on the stern of the ship on deck 11.
In over 20 cruises in the past 10 years, this was far and away the best cabin that we have had. Service by the butler and stewardess was excellent. Booking the large ...
We decided to try Oceania for the raved about food. Being in the food industry & foodies we thought we'd try them out. Two days before the cruise, I got a e-mail asking if we'd upgrade from an interior cabin to a balcony cabin for $200pp. Of course I said yes. Getting on board was quick & easy as there's only about 1200 pax, as compared to 3000+ pax on larger ships. We still waited until 2:30 to ...
Our third Oceania Suite and one Vista Suite.
January 2018: two limp, mostly dead fronds on an Areca Palm in living room. Couch in tv room? Prepare to hit the floor. See above.
Linens and bed: great!!!!
Pool, fine; fitness, fine;
La Reserve x 3 nights=perfect!!! So worth it. Polo=common. Jacques and Toscana=can be good...not always.
Dining room lunch (rainy days) was a very ...
This was our first cruise on Riviera, our second on Oceania. Our previous Oceania was the Nautica, and our cabin had been a disappointment. Our apprehensions were dismissed the moment we entered our cabin on Riviera. It was a very good size, and most importantly, the bathroom was much much better than the airplane-size bathroom on Nautica. No 'Psycho' shower but a full bathtub and separate shower. ...
We enjoy good food and Oceania provides it. The ships are not crowded staff are very polite. Speciality restaurants are outstanding. We never ate in the main dining room. Was not thrilled with the menu. Entertainment was good we heard. . One show at 9:30pm each evening. A little late for us as we are up very early. That did not bother us. I would like to see more speakers on board. Not just ...
We love Oceania cruise line and this itinerary was perfect for a January cruise and getting out of the cold weather! Originally scheduled to visit San Juan and St. Maarten, we were taken to St. Kitts and rescheduled to visit San Juan. The East coast of the US was experiencing bad weather during our cruise and perhaps we were on the fringe of it---Nassau was very windy and not very warm. But our ...
Chose the Riviera January 2018 cruise because of its 10 day cruise. Embarkation was a disaster, taking 1 1/2 hours to get on board. Our embarkation staff was not well trained as I asked him whether he needed a credit card imprint and was told ,no. After a few days on board, we received a letter to attend at reception desk to provide credit card. What a waste of time. Very disappointing, as our ...
We went on the cruise out of Miami on the 22nd December 2018 after previously cruising on same ship a couple of years ago around the Med! What a difference.
I cannot understand when a cruise advisors guests to dress smart casual to dine in restaurants and then allow guests to go into restaurants in shorts and flip flops!!!! It also states that smoking is not allowed in your cabin or on your ...
Everything was excellent. Bring a sweater as the public areas are sometimes quite chilly. Service in all food areas was excellent. Always someone available to assist anyone needing a plate carried. Dining room service very attentive! Waves area excellent. Always pool seating available with clean covers. Bar service excellent,
Some slight changes since purchased by Norwegian-some of the ...
My wife and I enjoy well prepared and presented food and we had heard wonderful things about Oceania's offerings so we decided to try them out for a holiday getaway.
Embarkation in Miami was quick and efficient. The ship is tastefully understated and was nicely decorated for the season. Our cabin stewardess Charissa and her assistant were terrific. They seemed representative of all the staff ...
