Review for a Bermuda Cruise on Riviera

I had sailed Oceania before, but several years ago. This itinerary caught my fancy and I remembered how wonderful was my first time with them...the Mediterranean. Our itinerary was totally upset by weather it seems and we had to skip Bermuda where we were to spend three days...the real reason for this trip. Then they did try to substitute an out island visit but the seas were too rough for ...

We have cruised on this ship several times pre the NCL takeover and without doubt NCL have damaged Riviera's reputation perhaps forever. Staff numbers have been cut and service levels can be poor as staff struggle to cope. Reductions of recipe ingredient costs and along with it quality has had a damming effect on food standards...meat even the bread is simply on occasion not what you would ...

Our third Oceania Suite and one Vista Suite. January 2018: two limp, mostly dead fronds on an Areca Palm in living room. Couch in tv room? Prepare to hit the floor. See above. Linens and bed: great!!!! Pool, fine; fitness, fine; La Reserve x 3 nights=perfect!!! So worth it. Polo=common. Jacques and Toscana=can be good...not always. Dining room lunch (rainy days) was a very ...

JUST SAY NO TO OCEANIA RIVERIA AND THEIR NOROVIRUS ITINERARY

Their are several reasons not to cruise with Oceania, especially on the Riveria. 1. Multiple norovirus outbreaks, 3 outbreaks since Dec. 2015. The latest one on March 20th. This is shortly after the massive CDC supervised cleaning that the ship underwent following the Feb. 12 outbreak. There is obviously a problem with the cleaning procedures on Riveria. Yes passengers or crew can ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

Yes this was our first cruise, not just with Oceania but ever so we came into the experience with no expectations other than the high recommendations made by friends who had sailed on Riviera before. We did get notification prior to leaving that Noro virus on the last cruise would cause delays during boarding so were prepared and in comparison to others were in our room fairly quickly with ...

Now we just got home. And we also were on the first sailing after a complete scrub down since a noro virus out break. 177 cases to CDC. Notified prior by Oceania that our boarding would be at 2 pm instead of 1pm due to the scrub down. Now we got to the port and the line snaked down the concrete in front of the building and Oceania was giving no assistance to many of the passengers and many who of ...

Right before the cruise, we received a letter stating that a certain percentage of the people were sick on the previous cruise and we could expect embarkation delays. Oh Boy! That was only the HALF of it. Embarkation was ok, with only minor delays. Once on the ship however, we sat on a lounge chair for 3+ hours until we were demanded to attend a life preserver demonstration. With carry on ...

A Very Disappointing Cruise

Let me preface this review with a little background information. Last year we took a similar eastern Caribbean cruise on the Riviera in early February. It was a fantastic trip and the reason we booked again for this year. We have cruised over 200 nights combined on both Oceania and Regent so we are not novices in the cruising arena . My husband and I are in our early 60's. The positive: Our ...

Boarding in Miami was long and tedious because the ship arrived from Barcelona with a Norwalk outbreak and cleaning/disinfecting/sanitizing took a long time. After leaving Miami there were multiple outbreaks of Gastro-Intestinal everyday with quarantines, etc. so the cruise (18 days of it!) was constant sanitizing, disinfecting, etc. of everything. Everytime you sat down at a table it was awash ...

Happiness was missing from this cruise- and not because of the norovirus problem

This reviewer and his wife are seasoned cruisers. This was our first time with Oceania. We are in our early 60's. The Staff was incredible, faced with potentially overwhelming demands on the staff's times as the entire ship was treated for norovirus. We did not get to do the enrichment activities we had booked (culinary experiences) due to the norovirus issue. We were refunded our monies for ...
