1-9 of 9 New York (Manhattan) Oceania Insignia Cruise Reviews
I chose this cruise because I’ve wanted to do a leaf cruise and we were on Insignia last December 2022/January 2023 (Panama Canal) and it was excellent. We had every expectation that this cruise would be the same. Sadly it was not. Specifically the food in the Grand Dining Room was not good. The menus were terrible and the descriptions lacking or incorrect. I have never had to resort to the always ...
Decided to try this line after many cruises on Norwegian and others. Stayed in a concierge veranda room on deck 7. The accommodations were so tight as to be uncomfortable. I am 5ft4 and 132 pounds and could barely shower in that tiny stall. Another passenger actually fell out of the shower and hit his head on the toilet and showed up at breakfast with stitches the next morning. The food ranged ...
Oceania brands itself boldly with the claim "Finest Cuisine at Sea" but I did not feel this was the case. It's a shame, since Insignia is a beautiful ship, the crew was amazing, and there were lots of great things about this cruise. But given the premium price compared to strong brands like Holland America, Disney, Celebrity and others, it just wasn't a good value. And for dining, it was often not ...
We chose this 1--day cruise to see the leaves changing along the north Atlantic coast from New York to Canada. This is our fourth cruise with Oceania, but it has been a decade since our first three.
ITINERARY: While the sites were beautiful, 4 of the 9 ports of call left us wondering why the ship stopped in those ports as there was little to nothing to see that one could not see from the ...
This was our first time on Oceania. We love Bermuda and enjoy smaller ships when they are available. I was so excited to again return to Hamilton and St. George as opposed to the Dockyard. The ship was very nice. The staff all around the ship couldn't be more pleasant, helpful and generally a pleasure to be around. Food in the Grand Dining Room and the buffet was excellent as was the ...
My wife and I and two couples sailed on Insignia late October/November from New York to Montreal. A misnamed "Fall " cruise.
Having arranged the cruise I boarded with some trepidation because of the imminent refit. However the condition of the ship was fine and we liked the rich colours of the décor (about to go pastel and bland)
We had a verandah cabin which was reasonably spacious. The ...
We like smaller ships and we like the elements of luxury that Oceania provides. However, and it's a big however, we will not sail on Oceania's (or Princess's) small "R" ships again. They are simply too old. Signs of age were everywhere - salt corrosion around window frame bolts in the public areas, rust peeking through in numerous places in the overhead, major signs of wear and tear in the ...
I chose the Oceana for an upscale cruise I had penthouse Suite 8059 and butler service I thought the room was absolutely filthy they even put a napkin a linen napkin down on each side of the bed thinking that’s where your slippers would go no it’s because the carpet was so filthy my feet were black The chairs at my dining room table the fabric was absolutely filthy I’m sure 15 years ago that’s ...
Cruised with my husband, sister and 90 year old mother to celebrate her birthday. She had been on many Oceania cruises so this is her favorite line. Our experience began with the booking and reservation team. Unsatisfactory all the way through. Initial booker was curt and rude and subsequent calls to book special dinner venues and get travel documents proved to be even ruder encounters. When ...
