"Especially in the speciality restaurants where I was served a stone cold steak and tepid french fries
The ship was spotless and it was a real pleasure to be there, except at meal times .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, and I don't know what it was
Minestrone made with vegetable bouillon and but for a few vegetables that was it
I tried to like it I really did but it was just not good enough
On the other hand service was excellent ...."Read More

1-10 of 43 Oceania Nautica Suite Cabin Cruise Reviews
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 ...
Background
We mostly cruise with Viking, Tauck, and with others, but three years ago we saw this itinerary and we couldn't wait - and then we waited three years. We are also introverts, so there are things Oceania offers that are simply not relevant to us - the bar scene, the entertainment, the casino, the sea day activities. We spend a little more for a larger room where we can happily hang ...
Just completed Barcelona to Abu Dhabi - 20 days on the refurbished Nautica.
The refurb is outstanding!
Better food in the Grand Dining Room. Portions are much better/lighter.
Speciality venues are excellent.
Butler was Superb!
Excursions were very good and the overnight in Luxor was outstanding.
I am baffled by the other reviews in that this was one of the best cruises we have ...
This was our second Oceania. But we have done a few other cruises over the years. The newly refurbished Nautica was very beautiful. Couldn't get a suite so we were on 7th floor with Balcony. Small room- Impossibly small shower and we're small people. Rarely got hot water. But the room Steward was outstanding! The food in all the places- specialty as well as Main Diningroom just VERY average! ...
Marina – September 15th – 26th – Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Greece, France & Spain
Let me start this by saying that this was our second cruise with Oceana and our twenty + cruise overall. If you asked me to write down three complaints about my last Oceana cruise – I would have a hard time coming up with anything. Our last Oceana cruise was near perfection – great customer service from when ...
Good cruise, which could have been better. Sad to report and review. Smoke and smoking affected everything. On board. In our room, verranda and walking on ninth and tenth floors. We couldn't use our verranda on the eight floor. We had friends on the seventh floor who also complained of the smell.
There was cigarette and cigar smoking from our first to last day on board, ship. It's a safety ...
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, ...
My husband and I usually cruise Celebrity but chose this cruise for its itinerary and the reputation of excellent food and service . Unfortunately we were disappointed by both .
The embarkation was a disaster .
Due to high winds in Cape Town the ship was late in arriving in dock . In fact over a day late but it did not warn passengers
On the day , no one answered phone calls and there ...
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 ...
