My husband and I love the small ships and have sailed on the old Rennaisance line ships under Princess and Azamara as well as Oceania. The Regatta is scheduled for renovation, and it is sorely needed. They HAVE to do something with the main showroom but it will be a challenge.
This cruise was very relaxing, from Miami through the Panama Canal to LA. And we live close to LA so disembarking in ...
My wife and I are frequent cruisers and chose this cruise as an alternative to the all inclusive lines where we always are charged for something we don't take part in. We also used this cruise to determine if we wanted to hold or cancel a 45 day trip on this ship next year out of New Zealand & the South Pacific.
Our embarkation in Miami was swift and without incident. Our first port out of ...
t: Left Miami with huge expectations. Boring tour of Havana. After leaving Havana we were soon informed about engine problems that would cancel our Cartagena shore excursion. The one excursion I was truly looking forward to. Went thru the canal and on to Costa Rica. Did a walk in a cloud forest where we saw one bird and one poison is frog. Had two folks who never should have been on the ...
Our 16 day cruise from Miami to San Francisco spent 88% of the time at sea, not at the destinations Spending $800+ per day on fine dining is not my idea of an enjoyable cruise.
Destination Services were overpriced, poorly conceived and poorly organized.
Cuisine was excellent and service impeccable.
Cabins were small 216 sf and tight Bathrooms even tighter.
We were aboard Regatta, a ...
Just an OK cruise with a few disappointments . . . we have sailed on Oceania before, this cruise one of our least favorite. Panama Canal from Miami to San Francisco. We did get to Cuba which was fascinating to say the least. We arranged a private tour for the two of us all day . . . $65/pp. Museums, walks through town and ride in a 57 Chevy convertible. Great guide, provided lots of ...
We chose this cruise as an end of winter getaway to the lovely Caribbean. Embarkation was efficient and we were on board within minutes. Disembarkation was on time and also efficient.
The ship is old but clean and well maintained. We were offered an upgrade to a higher category which we gladly accepted and paid for, however, we were in a cabin directly above the show lounge which meant no ...
Embarkation: Quick and easy. Port of Miami employees were friendly and helpful.
Passengers: The person who penned Oceania brochure's "country club casual" dress code might want to spend some time on Regatta checking out the passengers' attire as "Costco casual" seems a more apt description. There was nothing country club, elegant or sophisticated about our fellow passengers. Most travelers ...
Oceania Regatta is offering a wine package of seven wines for $47.50 per bottle.
I found these wines to be quite unremarkable and recommend that you spend yourhard USDs on wines from the standard wine list.
The Regatta offers afternoon movies with popcorn and soft drinks which is most welcomed, especially on sea days. However the movies are not in closedcapioning. I asked the young man ...
We decided to cruise to the Caribbean for our 40th wedding anniversary, and chose Oceania because we had a wonderful experience a few years ago cruising on the Marina to the Mediterranean. We were confident that the ship's size (only 684 passengers) would suit us - we're not party-animals and were looking forward to enjoying the excellent food and service we appreciated on Marina in a relatively ...
We chose this cruise based on the cruise line’s reputation and itinerary. This was our first Oceania cruise and it left a bad taste.
The cruise was scheduled to be at sea for three out of ten days. On the first day at sea, we were told that the ship would need to make an emergency stop to tender an ill passenger to shore. We were to have another day at sea and the captain indicated that we ...
