My wife and I were on an Oceania Insignia Mediterranean cruise years ago. The food and overall experience was amazing!!! We have done Regent and RC cruises, but have been mainly using Holland America for cruises (love the Pinnacle class ships!)
We wanted to do another Oceania cruise... mainly for the food. We were on The Regatta for the September 27 through October 4 cruise "California ...
We are repeat customers of Oceania (fifth time for my wife, third for me) but first time on Regatta and first cruise post-pandemic. Compared to previous Oceania cruises, we found the food and service generally mediocre. Terrace Cafe items mostly bland (including two days of the most flavorless Mexican we've ever eaten) and at least once, the Grand Dining Room menu included many of the same items ...
Cruised on multiple cruise lines, been on 3 Royal Caribbean cruises including cruise on Oasis of the Seas.
I must give five stars for the fantastic activities they offer, such as laser tag, ice skating, water slides, and boogie boarding. The staff overseeing these activities were truly amazing, and the pool deck lifeguards and water slide attendants were friendly and attentive.
Our balcony ...
I'm not one to write reviews that skew negative, but because I had just stepped off a Carnival cruise the same day that I boarded Navigator, the difference in service and entertainment was striking. I've sailed with RC before and was expecting a similar experience and product, but the Navigator definitely seems like a weak link in RC's fleet.
I chose this cruise because it lined up well with ...
Well it was always good but this time was terrible this ship avoid it no entertainment the last day the did an international supposed show they brought flags out has entertainment people sitting whole time. And called it a show. The entertainment director was boring all the time sailing this time we spent it in our room more . There was one day the love and marriage show which is not a show they ...
I chose this voyage because I wanted to go through the Panama Canal, and also sail on the Queen Elizabeth for the first time. I am a solo traveler. I had already sailed on the Queen Victoria once, and the Queen Mary 2 three times. I have been fascinated by ocean liners since I was ten years old, and this is why I am drawn to Cunard ships. Cunard has always taken pride in carrying on the ...
We chose a Mexican Riviera cruise for a family event (10 people). Overall, it was pleasant but there were some bumps.
We had a Club Class Mini-Suite. The bed was very comfy and the room had plenty of storage. Everything is a bit dated, but it was spotlessly clean. Our room attendant was fantastic.
Reserve Collection dining was very nice on embarkation day (we had lunch there right after ...
3 1/2 stars: This is a very very very long review. You might be reading this in a panic thinking, what did I do...I booked the Emerald and everyone is leaving horrific reviews. So I thought I'd write a review that might help people make the most of their vacation if they are already locked in at the 90 day mark. OK. It's not THAT bad. I had a great time knowing some things ahead of time. I ...
My friend’s strong recommendation.
Just want to compare with other cruise lines and plan for future cruise planning. There is no veranda room available when I booked this cruise in May 2023. It is hard to compare Apple to Apple with other cruise lines of the same cabin class.
For sure I won’t cruise on Oceania small ship again as the entertainment is less attractive and almost the same ...
I had chosen the Insignia to do something that was closer to home in the USA. The dates of this Panama Canal cruise were great, and the solo price seemed quite reasonable. My flight to San Francisco and overnight at Hotel Focus was fine. Took a taxi for $40 to the pier.
Once on board, I felt my solo ocean view cabin was a bit "close", and the bathroom absolutely tiny. I am much smaller than ...
