We used O's Extraordinary Savings Sale to get our B3 cabin for a mere $1749 PP plus $300 OBC PP (which paid our gratuities). So, the price alone made this trip worth it. BUT we travel for itineraries and this one did it for us. We only had the 1 sea day, which I do not enjoy that much, but we had Athens, Kavala, Istanbul, Messina, Naples, Rome, La Spezia (changed due to weather from Livorno), ...

This was our ninth cruise with Oceania. We started on Riviera and were totally thrilled. Coming over from Cunard Queens Grill as the Oceania way of doing things suited us better. That first cruise was a 10/10 for us, and we’ve been committed ever since. The small changes that have been made are never to enhance the passenger experience. The food has slipped. Not always, but not as refined, not ...

We were spoiled by our prior cruises and very disappointed with our recent cruise and the sell, sell, sell underhanded charging for services. A few examples. I booked a $199 spa treatment and I had a $50 coupon. I expected a $149 bill with optional tip, but the final bill was $247 plus optional tip because they added service and other charges not discussed with me. Next, Oceania cancelled one ...

My husband, brother-in-law, and I chose this cruise because of Oceania's small ship experience and its supposedly supurb cuisine. We booked side by side Conciegre Veranda suites. While the stateroom steward was wonderful, the room was not. The room was cramped and the bathroom was miniscule. My husband and I have taken over 30 cruises and this was by far the worst. We took a cruise ...

Our 3rd and final Oceania cruise. Frankly we fail to understand the number of repeat guests. I guess my main quibble is the quality - variable quality - of the food. It's like we are all extras in a restaurant promotion video who have been programmed/coached to play fine-dining guests - whatever the food is like. 'The finest cuisine at sea' is one of Oceania's mottoes. It just ain't. Raw poached ...

Gave 4 stars, because 5 is almost impossible. I don't understand some of the negative reviews. Oceania has been a great choice, especially for the price when compared with other cruise line offerings. Some people must expect everything to be absolutely perfect, which is really not possible. Complaints about the size of the bathroom? You should have checked the pictures and floor plan before ...

Overall, the food was very good. Oceania says they have "The Finest Cuisine At Sea". What was good, was very good, however, pineapple and melons shouldn't be crunchy. Also, they served the absolutely worst bananas foster (one of my favorite desserts) I've ever had. The crew was very friendly and the shore excursions were nice. I was in an Owner's Suite on deck 6. During docking, which ...

Chose this ship because it was brand new and the ship itself did not disappoint. The furnishings are elegant and modern. While some of the art work was a little too modern for my taste, most of the art fit the decor. The ship was also well-designed. Embarkation was slower than we expected--we were not able to board at the time we were given and had to wait. Our cabin was concierge level ...
