This was our third Oceania cruise and the first on Vista (previous ones on Marina and Nautica). It was also our first transatlantic and we were really looking forward to all those sea days – we knew it would be a much more relaxing holiday than O’s usual port intensive cruises.
We’d flown from our local airport to London, on the Sunday, staying overnight at Heathrow, then on to Miami the next ...
Let me give you all some background so you understand the perspective we are coming from. My husband I are both millennials and have almost exclusively sailed on the so-called “ultra-luxury” lines, i.e. Regent, Silversea, Crystal and Seabourn as we prefer the small ship experience. Since childhood, my husband had always wanted to take a transatlantic cruise. Thanks to the fact that ships are ...
Nice cruise! Lost two ports due to bad weather. Royal Navy Shipyard and The Azores. First time on Vista. Cabins are not sound proof! We could hear our neighbors loud and clear! Horizons has changed no coffee machines and no food! Also coffee machines continued to be out of order in the concierge lounge! Loved the new Embers restaurant. Staff was excellent! Cabin was very nice had a concierge ...
First timers on Oceania.
Embarkation in Miami was great. Quickly checked in and right onto the ship.
We had one of the small suites, penthouse. Beautiful interior. Oversized outside veranda with loungers and 2 deck chairs was wonderful. Tons of storage space. Bathroom very nice. Although the shampoo/soap etc portrayed as something special...not...and bottles very hard to dispense. ...
Run, run as fast as you can! The service on this ship was pathetic at best. The staff tried as hard as they could. However, I also think the lack of a proper number of staff causes burnout and permeates an "I don't care" attitude. The destination team did not provide the services advertised for Silver Cove, and the overall cruise was not worth the money. There are better experiences for the cost ...
My wife and I went on a cruise from Miami to Miami, from March 16 to March 27, 2024, in the Oceania Vista ship. Following are our comments:
The ship: The Oceania Vista is a very well designed ship. Not only is it beautiful, but also has many public spaces for passengers and we never felt overwhelmed by the other 1,200 fellow guests. We always found where to sit or sunbathe around the ...
Just disembarked the 11 night Bermuda sailing on the Oceania Vista out of Miami. The ship is new and quite beautiful. Decor is tasteful and contemporary.
We've been on over 100 cruises on almost every line so here are a few observations of the new Vista:
Pro - Culinary class excellent with Chef Kelly - a must do activity
Cabin design - we had a penthouse PH1 and it was the best junior ...
We chose this cruise mainly for the itinerary, which unfortunately changed several times. some of which i could understand and others not so much.
The Navigator is a small ship and is quite an old lady, but saying that we had a great time onboard with a great crew and really nice fellow passengers.
The food choice was the largest I have ever seen aboard any ship and was mostly very good with ...
I was invited by a group of travelers who get together and go somewhere every year. I was excited about going on this cruise mostly because I wanted to cruise up the East coast and Canada and had never sailed with Regent. We all booked veranda/suites 16 in total. The ship was small in comparison, well maintained and clean. The staff from the Captain down was very friendly, accessible and ...
We took this cruise because of the ports and the unique itinerary, sailing from Miami to Montreal. We were excited because the excursions were included, so we didn’t have to arrange them ourselves. Before the ship left Miami, the Great Stirrup Cay port was cancelled, as well as Fernandina Beach, and Freeport, Bahamas and Jacksonville, FL were substituted. Freeport was a rundown port, and the ...
