Chosen for its itinerary but the regent excursions were disappointing. Most were your buses with local people. Some really boring stuff and very touristy spots. Given this is east coast of canada I was astonished that there was nothing that showcased the stunning beauty of this coastline. No opportunity to see wildlife or see seabirds or whales. We organised two private tours.
Regent found ...
We have travelled many times with Regent, we have been on all their ships except for Grandeur. We picked this trip for the itinerary alone and were a little apprehensive having more recently sailed on Splendor and Explorer, that Navigator would seem too small now and a little lacking without the fabulous Pacific Rim or the French restaurant. We need not have worried.
What Navigator might lack ...
I only have a few observations:
Overall, the staff was genial and helpful
My room steward was excellent, well trained and responsive.
Bar service in the Chartroom was expert, cheerful and well trained; they ran out of my preferred brand. The competence of the Wine Waiters in Britannia was very uneven; some were excellent and others needed more training.I also perceived a shortage of ...
The cruise overall was wonderful. The food, booze, staff and service are the best! We didn’t go to the entertainment very often but heard that the shows were good. We did go to see Terry Bishop who I totally enjoyed. He is a fabulous storyteller and a wonderful musician!!
I’m really writing this review for others that might want to book cabin 948. I have to say the cabin is extremely noisey at ...
First off, I want to congratulate Oceania on the updated interior of the Insignia, The interior decorators did a fabulous job making the ship brighter and warmer. We had a Concierge verandah and the cabin, though on the small side, was extremely comfortable with a great bed, linens and towels. With the addition of shower doors, the small shower was a non-issue for us. This was our 3rd Oceania ...
Loved the ports of call. Love the size of the ship.
We wanted to sail up the eastern seaboard.
You feel like you belong to a family when coming on board an Oceania cruise ship.
The crew are very helpful and can’t do enough for you. Embarkation was very easy and the ground staff were very friendly and helpful.
One criticism is that the cost of the shore excursions are ...
I had been researching around the world cruises for the last four years, in preparation for giving myself one as a retirement gift. After comparing many, I selected this one for its outstanding itinerary, which no other ship came even close to.
The ship was just refurbished weeks before we embarked, and was like new. The crew was excellent, with superb service. The entertainment was very ...
Firstly I'd like to note I have cruised over 25 times and have never written a review or written to a cruise company with a complaint. However this cruise did not deliver on many aspects of what was offered.
This cruise was advertised as 'Falls Splendour'. Sadly it had no splendour and we didn't see any of the fantastic autumn colours which we expected in Canada in October.
When the cruise ...
This was our 7 time with Oceania..
Anyone planning on taking a cruise with Oceania Cruise line please read this, what I affectionately call my CRUISE FROM HELL. I have never done this before but we have been treated so badly by this cruise line others should know what happened. Please, Please Share, People need to be warned.
