Oceania Cruise Reviews

We recently returned from our eleven-night Caribbean cruise on the Vista. While parts of the cruise were good, there were parts that gave us pause for future Oceania cruises. We are both in our early 60s and have been cruising since 1990, but really picked up our cruising pace in 2010. We’ve been on Celebrity the most but have recently enjoyed Regent and Silversea. We were looking for Oceania ...

Skipped our favorite port ( St Barts ) and one other. Second time this has happened to us with Oceania, and definitely the last. Problems with our suite - too cool day one ( replace units in ceiling ) too hot day two ( replaced units again). Not working day 3 - finally got a capable mechanic who took about 15 seconds to fix the problems. Noise above our heads ( dining area that is NOT open at ...

First off, I'd give it 4-1/2 stars, not quite five but still a strong positive rating. Arrival at Terminal J was easy - we drove the two hours south, dropped off our luggage at the entrance (with spouse) and parked right across the street. A helpful porter handled the rest - and similar on the way back. The ship is quite beautiful, we loved the understated but elegant decor and soft tones ...

After cruising many lines over 35 years, Oceania is our favorite. Great food, small ships, and interesting ports and excursions (previous to this cruise). First, the positive: Oceania has great ships. We've been on the Riviera (@1200 passengers) and the smaller Insignia and Nautica (@600 passengers}. The ships are well laid out with specialty restaurants, a fantastic buffet, comfortable ...

Finest cruise at sea turned in to finest Marketing at Sea. Cuisine was ok in main dining room and better in specialty restaurants but similar to NCL and Princess specialty venues. Princess has tge best pizza at sea is true! Certainly not above the others. I found my self looking for peanut sauce for chicken sauté, none! Making my own tartar sauce for fish from mayo and mustard. ...

We booked this cruise on Oceania as a repeat cruise for my special birthday, having done this exact same cruise 7 years ago, and loved it! We have enjoyed many cruises before, both ocean and river, with various cruise lines, and expected a wonderful time on this smaller, high end cruise line. Before I begin, positives were great food, mainly pleasant staff, wonderful library, comfortable ...

Found two worlds on this cruise amazing staff Great rooms and wonderful decor Food was excellent although i kind of expected more based on the marketing Cabin room attendants were great and attentive Most waiters were punctual and polite Overall entry level staff was good Above is the Heaven part Management and reception desk was HELL on earth unless you like to be lied to ...

The ship altered the itinerary by an hour or 2 at each port (shorter), and that sent the shore excursion department into convulsions . There were line ups of 15 to 25 people constantly as the Shore excursion desk. We enjoyed the lovely ship and our veranda B2 cabin was the nicest we have ever had at sea, (after 15 cruises.) The food in the Terrace cafe was outstanding. We had a good ...

First time for us on Oceania. Very small ship. No crowds. They advertise "The best cuisine at sea, NOT! The buffet was awful. Main dining room, hit or miss. Specialty dining(included in price) Very Good. Room service was fast and efficient. Bread was always stale. Not much entertainment on board but enjoyable. Comedian was just plain terrible. Her second show drew less than 20 people. I was on ...

We chose the cruise as it was goiing to interesting different ports of call. The first one was Costa Maya, where we were unable to dock and understand that happens frequently. also heard that actually its very scruffy there. Other ports of call varied. We had an excellent excursion from Guatamala with brilliant guide and included high speed boat trip up the New River. The Tabyana beach day, ...
