NOTE: We were only on the first segment from Miami to San Francisco. The following review is intended to provide helpful information to those considering cruising on the Oceania Insignia. Please remember that this is only one person’s opinion and may not reflect your view or the opinions of others. I will be providing a grade for each of the ship’s various services along with an explanation of ...

Great luxury cruise but a BUST as an expedition!

Great luxury cruise with beautiful scenery and penguins BUT a disappointment as an expedition. We did not get what we paid for which was 7 days of multiple water craft experiences and landings in Antarctica. Spent two extra days in Ushuaia waiting for smooth water to cross the Drake Passage. That reduced the expedition days to down to 5. Spent two 6.5 hour days on bus tours around Ushuaia. OK, ...

Had never been to S. America. Sounded interesting going to "end of the world", visiting Buenos Aries for a few days before cruise. Have enjoyed Celebrity in the past on Millenium ships. Cabin was not prepared at all. First day, shower flooded, plumber came and plunged drain and dirt came out. Sink stopper didn't work, AC didn't work (electrician had to come), no ticket in laundry bag, no ...

The Celebrity Infinity is 21 years old and it looks it. The decor, carpets and furnishing are dated and tired in appearance. We had a sky suite which one invisions a large spacious suite, it is not spacious or luxurious. The closet dorrs were broken and cracked loudly every time you opened them. As the doors would not close, the closet light was always on, so at night we had to push two chairs ...

Not what we'd hoped for

First Holland America Cruise. Chosen because it was the only affordable (?) cruise that went to Falklands, Antarctica and into the Chilean fjords and not around them (like Princess) or only to the Antarctic Peninsula and back to Buenos Aires (like Celebrity). We arrived the day after most people had checked in. Embarkation was the usual mess and compounded due to the World Cup madness created ...

NCL EQUALS NOT MY JOB,NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY

Review for a South America Cruise on Norwegian Star

10+ Cruises • Age 50s

We have sailed NCL many times and have never been on such a disfunction and poorly organized cruise. It started at embarkation out of Buenos Aires. There was no line control and contradictory instructions at curbside. The only cars allowed up to the front with luggage were those that paid the guard a bribe. If not passengers had to drag their luggage approximately 100 yards to check in. It did ...

A Two star ship from a Two Star cruise line - Oceania Marina

Review for a South America Cruise on Marina

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

Marina is a 10+ year old ship that looks her age, Decor is dark, halls are dimly lit. You can see signs of rust, large dents on the ships side, and the ship was due for refit in 2022 and then postponed to 2023 and again until 2024. This obviously is due to NCLs tightening the budget. Several crew members complained about issues with kitchen, dishwashers etc that are showing their age. Ship ...

Disappointing holiday

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

We loved Norwegian so much that we bought stock and held on to it during the downturn. This cruise would be our 10th with the line, and most expensive to date, but was not a good trip. Two ports were missed due to weather, (not Norwegian's fault!!), but apparently they routinely miss visiting the Falkland Islands, and don't post any specific cautions or warnings about this on the cruise ...

Shortening Port Days and Bad Customer Service Attitudes

We are extensively experienced travelers in our late 60's and chose this 51 night cruise for the itinerary. I should say this is our second experience with an extended cruise on Oceania this year. Our previous cruise on Insignia was spring of 2022 and I did post a review afterwards. We almost cancelled this cruise due to the Insignia experience but were more forgiving due to restart issues. At ...

Antarctic Expedition great but avoid Viking Air at all costs.

The Viking Air Department is horrible and should be avoided. The Air Department lies, randomly and without notice changes itineraries, ignores stated flight preferences, and becomes punitive if you challenge them. We assured by a Viking representative that we would have our choice of available partner airlines for our December 15-29 Viking Polaris expedition to the Antarctic if we purchased ...
