DO NOT BOOK AN OCEANA CRUISE

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Nautica

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

In May 2022, my husband and I along with 4 others in our group, put deposits down on what I thought would be a cruise of a lifetime. So I thought. Barcelona to Dubai with visits to Israel and Egypt was what sold us. Fast-forward to 2023 and this cruise itinerary was basically scrapped including Israel, Egypt, Jordan & Oman (and rightfully so because of the war.) However, Oceana replaced these ...

Bought a 15 day cruise but got two one week cruises strung together

We chose Viking’s 15 day Mediterranean Antiquities cruise because we had been on the Viking 18 day cruise, South America and the Chilean Fjords, and loved everything about it. In particular we enjoyed the lectures and other enrichment activities as well as the fellow travelers who seemed to have similar interests. The library was phenomenal. Since all Viking Ocean ships are almost identical, we ...

Good, but sadly not as good as it was.

We've just returned from a 7 night cruise from Istanbul to Athens on the Encore and overall our experience was good. The crew are super professional, warm, welcoming and give the impression that nothing is too much trouble. The ship was familiar to us as we'd sailed on it's slightly younger sister, the Ovation back in 2019. The design of these ships is relatively simple, there are no real ...

This was our ninth cruise with Oceania. We started on Riviera and were totally thrilled. Coming over from Cunard Queens Grill as the Oceania way of doing things suited us better. That first cruise was a 10/10 for us, and we’ve been committed ever since. The small changes that have been made are never to enhance the passenger experience. The food has slipped. Not always, but not as refined, not ...

After Five Oceania Cruises...Never Again

We were spoiled by our prior cruises and very disappointed with our recent cruise and the sell, sell, sell underhanded charging for services. A few examples. I booked a $199 spa treatment and I had a $50 coupon. I expected a $149 bill with optional tip, but the final bill was $247 plus optional tip because they added service and other charges not discussed with me. Next, Oceania cancelled one ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

Ive just back last night from a cruise on this ship. Granted it was my 1st cruise, so my opinion might not mean much to some people. There a several great tings about this cruise and a few negatives. The ship itself was very nice, just big enough to find your way around after a day or so. Although it looked tired in some places, it was very well maintained. ALL 10/10 The staff were quite ...

Forced to accept massive itinerary changes

Our 32-day cruise included many planned ports impacted by the war. The result, after our last Mediterranean port, we had ten consecutive sea days on the way to Dubai. The cause of the changes was understandable. That would could not cancel was not understandable. The ticket contract holds with port changes, understandable for operational and weather issues. But massive changes should release ...

Beautiful ship, poor entertainment

I chose this cruise for good value and newer and bigger ship. The ship is truly beautiful. 1. Dining room food was good, service was excellent, ambience was wonderful. 2. Buffet was chaotic. Food was displayed in 2 narrow aisles on each side of the ship. It was hard to find a seat. 3. Food was average, it lacked variety. Roasts of beef, lamb, chicken and pork were good. Soups were always ...

First time Regent clients here and thoroughly disappointed. The Penthouse suite we stayed in was very nice, but also tired. The Butler service overhyped and unnecessary in our opinion - just canapés delivered daily and a mini bar also topped up daily - only it wasn’t and required reminders. The vast majority of their waiting staff and all of the housekeeping teams were fabulous. The reception ...

After having a wonderful cruise on the Mariner in June we decided we wanted to book Regent again and what a complete difference between the 2 cruises Most of the staff was very miserable, hardly any staff ever smiled. Shore excursion desk the staff looked like don’t bother me and go away Wifi unacceptable Food compared to Mariner was terrible, i think the chef and food director were ...
