I chose this cruise for my husband and myself to try Oceania Cruises as we usually go on Celebrity and we wanted to go to the Amazon. We will not go on Oceania again! We met fabulous fellow guests on the cruise. The dining staff and cabin staff were wonderful. The reservation desk and concierge had some of the rudest people I've ever met. You are nickeled and dimed. Our cabin was tired and ...

A Two star ship from a Two Star cruise line - Oceania Marina

Marina is a 10+ year old ship that looks her age, Decor is dark, halls are dimly lit. You can see signs of rust, large dents on the ships side, and the ship was due for refit in 2022 and then postponed to 2023 and again until 2024. This obviously is due to NCLs tightening the budget. Several crew members complained about issues with kitchen, dishwashers etc that are showing their age. Ship ...

Nice Ship and Friendly Crew; Passengers Not So Much

This was our first Oceania cruise - a 51 day cruise through South America departing Florida on December 18, 2022 and arriving in Santiago, Chile on February 7. Very scenic and interesting itinerary - my wife and I saw and learned a great deal. As context, we have slightly over 400 days of cruising in the past 12 years on various cruise lines including Princess, Holland America, Celebrity and ...

Amazon Holiday: Brazil, Amazon River

This itinerary was enticing, down the Amazon River, Brazilian ports, lots of days at sea. Our third Oceania sail, second on Marina, our favorite ship, not too big, not too small, all specialty restaurants included. Passengers who chose shore excursions sponsored by Oceania were generally disappointed. Brazilians do not categorically learn English; these ports do not get many cruise ships due ...

Oceania did not live up to its reputation on this 51 day cruise

We choose this cruise for the itinerary and because we planned to transfer to a Viking expedtion ship to have a closer look at Antarctica. The ship is old and in need of a total do over. Everything was inconsistent on this ship, except for our housekeepers, butler and most of ship staff. The food was sometimes good, sometimes awful. Our room was very large, but the furniture very worn and ...

We are extensively experienced travelers in our late 60's and chose this 51 night cruise for the itinerary. I should say this is our second experience with an extended cruise on Oceania this year. Our previous cruise on Insignia was spring of 2022 and I did post a review afterwards. We almost cancelled this cruise due to the Insignia experience but were more forgiving due to restart issues. At ...

Great Itinerary for Panama Canal and South America

Review for a Panama Canal & Central America Cruise on Oosterdam

We choose this cruise for the itinerary. We had previously been on the Oosterdam and like this size ship. One thing to know about South America, is that most of the ports are industrial ports and require a shuttle to the cruise port entrance for any independent tours and in Buenos Aires, all passengers including those on Holland America Tours. Just keep this in mind when choosing the starting ...

This was a good itinerary, combining two cruises to sail through the Panama Canal, see the west coast of South America, round Cape Horn and visit the Falkland Islands before ending in Buenos Aires. I hadn’t sailed with Holland America before, but they came highly recommended by several friends so I was expecting it to be at least on a par, or better than, Celebrity. Sadly not so. Veteran HAL ...

Ship good, a little short on crew, 3rd world excursions somewhat of a trial

My wife and I wanted to go thru the Panama Panel, and see Macho Picchu, which this cruise covered nicely. Missed the political upheaval in Peru by about 2 wks, so lucky there. Traveling to 3rd world countries, Ecuador and Peru, is always a worry, so we had purchased a Medjet membership for the voyage, plus the optional extraction for political upheaval. Fortunately we didn't have to use, but ...

We had planned this trip for several months then, the night before we were to leave, COVID started shut everything down(1999). We had been waiting for this trip to reappear on Holland's schedule, we were very excited that it was finally happening! (Nov. 19, 2022). We had cruised with Holland 3 previous times and had been satisfied with our trips. Let me begin by saying the crew/staff were for ...
