I chose this cruise because a good friend of mine read about it in her alumni magazine and it was a tour organized for alums (although hardly the only ones on the ship). The intinerary - 10 days around Japan to different ports (with one stop in Busan, South Korea) was great.
I selected a package that included airfare, and multiple changes were made to my flight schedule. Several of us ended up ...
We have been on Oceania cruises before, and always felt they were superior to other cruise lines. However, we are extremely disappointing with our current cruise. The staff are great, the ship is clean, the food is good. What is not good are the excursions. There is great disorganization and red tape going through customs. For most of the ports, we were the first cruise ship to come through in ...
Apologies for such a long review.
A party of five people travlling all family.
We booked our cruise ( and 1 to come) from our experience going on Regatta 5 years ago, unfortunately due to illness and COVID we have only just managed to get back to cruising !
Our flights were booked with Oceania, our non-stop flight was changed to a stop in Dubai, which was fine, we flew Emirates. All went ...
First time on this line and attracted by the great itinerary. Used to the ship and cabin layout as we are multi time cruisers with Azamara/Regent/Holland America. The experience on the ship was good with the staff pleasant and obliging. The food was very good and found their approach to dress standards sensible, although some do push the envelope and look 'too casual' after hours in areas such as ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary and the reputation of having some of the finest food and wines on the sea.
Oceania assured us that their agent could still get us e-tourist visas for India even though India was no longer allowing Canadians to obtain an e-visa due to a spat they were having with the Canadian government. We advised the agent of this. However, they insisted we could ...
Decent cabin, lovely ship, fellow passengers very nice
Best food on the seas ?
They have to be joking
Tasteless curry
Raw pork burger- that's just insane. the executive chef andI spoke about that. He said he was going to get the cook a thermometer. Lord only knows why he didn't have the proper equipment or training to start with
Much of whatI had was cold
Falafel that wasn't, ...
All staff and crew were brilliant - it was a nightmare situation for them to deal with.
Everyone was behind them - they did all they could to keep us all safe and happy.
A wonderful crew and we love Oceania anyway!!! Everyone is very friendly, the crew relate so well to the guests, nothing is too much trouble and there is a general feeling of bonhomie.
Even before the refurb of Nautica, ...
After all previous cruises we sailed, we select this one since it had an appropriate itinerary for us.
Our cabin was well kept throughout the cruise. Excursion Destination Staff did a good job. Reception desk staff were friendly and helpful. Medical clinic staff was professional and excellent.
Food and beverage staff service was ok but management for this service must learn what to improved ...
This was our first time sailing on Oceania. We were concerned about going on this cruise given the Nautica is badly in need of renovations. And these renovations are not to occur until June of this year, when the ship is scheduled to go into dry dock for a couple of weeks. However, considering the 30-day itinerary from Dubai to Cape Town, including the various stops in Oman, India, the ...
Chose this cruise for the chef inspired dining and was very disappointed in what was served. Pepin's dishes were probably 3-4 entrees out of hundreds so I could only eat a couple of them compared to the other dining room options. Other past Oceania cruisers had said that the food quality has gone downhill in the last few years and may not travel on the ship again. My cabin mate and I had stomach ...
