We chose this cruise to visit Vietnam and Hong Kong and finish with a stint in Singapore. this segment was 22 days. - we were medically disembarked on day 18.

Embarkation was so smooth and took just minutes. The Cabin 8114 was clean, comfortable and the steward wonderful. Dining in the Lido Buffet offered a wide variety of choices of excellent food. ...
I have cruised on Oceania numerous times and never had an experience quite like this cruise. The captain has a reputation on the ship of only going to ports he wants to go to and not what is on the schedule and what is best for the guests, under the auspice of weather or other conditions as an excuse. We ended up with 10 days at sea because of this. Over all the cruise was good (not great) and ...
× I awarded my cruise of 2017 5 stars no problem
× I struggled to award 3 stars on this cruise, just 2 years later. WHY
Pre embarkation
× met at Brisbane airport by a Princess Cruises representative!
× taken, without P C rep, to a local hotel who had no knowledge of us and were not expecting us
× later driven to Cruise Terminal by an aggressive, unhelpful taxi driver. He even ...
The cabin D7017 is small and poorly appointed with a small dressing table, minimum storage facilities, particularly if a long voyage.
The bathroom small but manageable however the shower cubicle is pokey!
Television channels are extremely limited and there is no interactive channel.
Frankly it looked rather 'tired'.
Room service is available but our experience has been that nothing ...
We were on the 21-day crossing of the Pacific from San Francisco to Sydney. We have been on 32 cruises on various lines and have sailed with Cunard many times before. We chose this crossing as a way to get us to our 2-month adventure in Australia.
We were very happy with the transportation, but not too thrilled with the Queen Victoria nor the cruise ship features of this crossing. While we ...
Opportunity to transit Panama Canal.Embarkation excellent. Cabin reasonable. Staff very friendly and helpful. Special mention to Sam for port excursion talks- excellent and Albano our cabin steward who was excellent. Misty Blue trio very good and sail away parties enjoyable. Downside lack of dress code enforcement- on formal nights people seen in shorts, t shirts which spoils it for those making ...
REVIEW OF REGATTA BY CIRCUMNAVIGATORS MEMBER
This is our second long voyage on this once outstanding cruise line - we are currently onboard for 45 days on circumnavigation of Australia and New Zealand. Unfortunately the vessel has fallen greatly in the large constellation of mid size cruisers.
We attempted to obtain cabin upgrade from the front desk but received no reply after several ...
Without a doubt, we had a great cruise on Sojourn Oct-Dec 2018, pretty much flawless, so we booked a 94 day cruise( Auckland to Cape Town). Total disappointment, the entire cruise was fraught with inconsistency in service and chaos in dining rooms and bars. To say the least, we were disappointed in Seabourn Service standard not even 1 star.
These are the highlights (tongue in cheek):
Bar ...
Overall a pretty good experience for our first time on O. A bunch of little things went wrong and we tried not to let it spoil the whole cruise.
The ship is easy to get around but could use more elevators aft as they are always busy (that's largely where the food is).
Dining ranged from spectacular (La Reserve) to very good (Toscana, Jacques) to surprisingly good (buffet on 12, pool grill) ...
Manly booked this for the itinerary. It was a 12 night - Venice to Barcelona . 11-1-18 to 11-13-18. Excursions were not as described. The stops listed were not accurate. One location did not have the handicrafts village as highlighted. Another town was completely closed on the day we were there. Nothing to see at all! They return you back to the ship 2-3 hours before ship left port. Not ...
