We sailed on the Oceania Regatta out of Miami for the Western Carribean. While we had been to several of these ports before, a few were new to us (Costa Maya, Belize, Roatan).
We like the smaller, R-class ships because there are fewer people, more staff-guest ratio and they can call at smaller ports. We have travelled on both the Regatta and Nautica before.
Embarkation was easy, no-waiting ...
This was our first commercial cruise. We have cruised extensively on our 43' sailboat, so we are used to boats. We are so delighted we chose Oceania and PH stateroom. The ship was lovely, the cabin spacious with a lovely balcony. Our butler Claudiu was wonderful as was the stewardess Snezanu and Manuel. There was not one person we came in contact on this cruise that was not gracious and helpful. ...
We thoroughly enjoyed our first Oceania Cruise on-board the Regatta! I had read some of the reviews, and to be honest, wondered if we had made a mistake. The answer to that is a resounding NO!!!!
From the moment we boarded the ship in Miami, it was like we were somebody special!
We were treated with the utmost respect by everyone on the staff! The food was excellent - and we especially ...
We had an amazing time on the Regatta going from Miami to San Francisco through the Panama Canal. Everything was much better than we had ever dreamed! The ship was beautiful, the food fantastic, the ports of call amazing, the staff of Oceania couldn't have been any better! There was plenty to do on board, or you could do nothing - which is pretty much what we did. I did donate $21 to the ...
Regatta through Panama Canal Apr 23, 2015.
Ship — moderate size (650+) but both the main dining room and the entertainment room could not accommodate a full shipload of passengers. On one or two nights the line was very long at 6:30 to get into the dining room. Several times the entertainment room was already full from a previous talk/show and so we could not find seats. We have been on a ...
We are fairly experienced cruisers having been on about a dozen cruises. This trip through the Panama Canal to Lima, Peru was our first cruise on Oceania. This was the best cruise we ever - and last summer we were on the Queen Elizabeth in the Mediterranean. The food was the best we have ever had. We found the ship very well appointed and the staff very hospitable. The excursions were high priced ...
From the captain to our room stewardess we couldn't have found a friendlier group of people to sail with. It seemed as though about the time you thought of a need, someone was already in motion to take care of it. The food was absolutely the best with seemingly unlimited choices to satisfy all from the exoctic menus to your basic PB&J. If you enjoy sailing in clean comfortable ship, this one is ...
A country girl at my core, I grew up without a lot of pampering. Much later in my life I was wined and dined and began to experience ‘the finer things’. But still I’ve always said I neither need nor want what I laughingly call ‘froo froo extras’. Still, a girl can sure can get used to a little pampering.
No review makes a lot of sense without knowing the author a bit. We began cruising in the ...

This was our fifth Oceania cruise, third on Regatta. The average age of the passengers on this cruise appeared to be a little older than the Oceania norm; this might have been because it was a fairly long one. Things started out rather badly, one of our suitcases was damaged between the dock and it's arrival at our cabin, it also ended badly, at the end of the cruise another of our ...
Ship — nice size, well kept, we liked it; never felt crowded except competition for lounges at the pool was stiff due to scarcity
Cabin – good except for the cramped shower stall
Food — very good to excellent food and service throughout, except in Toscanna the first night where both food and service were seriously lacking; excellent coffee drinks at Barista
Service — everyone was unfailingly ...
