Insignia Cruise Review by Brooklyn1941
Trip Details
- Sail Date: September 2019
- Destination: Canada & New England
- Cabin Type: Concierge Level Veranda Stateroom
There were three stops on this cruise that were not worth one hour much less a day!Trois Rivieres,Quebec, Corner Brook,Newfoundland to name two.
The food in the main dining room was mediocre at best and the service there was poor.
I have cruised Oceania many times and felt this is no longer a first class experience.
On sail aways, like from New York, all they had was a band and no wine or champagne like they used to.
The food in the two special restaurants was excellent...Toscana and Polo. The service in these was excellent but you are limited to two nights at each on a 17 day cruise!
The Concierge "Suites" in this ship, Insignia, are very small..especially for a 17 day or linger cruise.
Note that if you take the 8 "free" excursions and you are a couple that means on four excursions each! Any additional and you pay extra.
