This is my review of the Oceania cruise on the Sirena ship from Miami to the Canary Islands that lasted 2 weeks from 27 March to 10 April 2024.
The food for all 3 meals plus afternoon tea, service, both cabin, reception and dining, and entertainment were excellent. In particular, the cruise director, Leslie Howard, was fantastic.
The ship was in great shape; it was very well maintained. It ...
We chose the Oceania Vista because it was a smaller ship. The staff were so nice, friendly, and accommodating in every way. The rooms were beautiful and the bathrooms were the biggest and nicest we have ever seen on a cruise ship and we have taken about 35 cruises.
The food was absolutely delicious! The only problem was the quality of meat at the specialty steakhouse. It was very tough and ...
We recently disembarked Oceania’s newest ship Vista here are our experiences.
Flights arranged by Oceania we do Not recommend please contact me for specifics.
Pre hotel arranged by Oceania in Miami the Elser hotel. We do not recommend we had to wait 6 hours on an open hot roof for our room to be ready. There is no restaurant in the hotel nor is there a coke or snack machine. We had to cross ...
The cruise staff was very very nice. That's the only positive thing. The cruise was attended by emptying 3 or 4 retirement old folk home. Maybe, 10 people under 70 and there were many people were on walkers and wheelchairs. In addition, the very few activities were canceled when a gastro infection was taking people down. No daily lively entertainment. This cruise is for recovering from a ...
Oceania Sirena - Miami to Panama City - March 7-17 2024
This was my third cruise with Oceania. The first was the Eastern Mediterranean in 2009, the second was Northern Europe in 2012. I really enjoyed those two cruises; this one, not so much. Based on my experiences on this cruise, it's unlikely I will take a 4th cruise with Oceania.
Let's start with the good. The food was excellent. I did ...
We are long time Oceania customers (7 cruises) but had to cancel our last two cruises because of COVID and health issues. Therefore we were looking forward to our back to back cruises with a line that had always met or exceeded our expectations.
Things got off on the wrong foot when the company changed their business style. They went to Simply More. Before we were given onboard credit to be ...
This cruise left out of Miami and ended 10 hellish days later in Panama City. We started out with rough seas by the second day, not Oceanias fault, so we missed our first stop. We had already been notified that our Columbia stop had been canceled. The. Cruise line never offered any compensation for these two cancelations. Then around day four we noticed that their sanitation procedures were ...
This was our 5th Oceania cruise. Our 4th in the Caribbean. We have previously gone on Marina and Riviera. We have been very happy about the food on Oceania and this cruise did not disappoint although we very much missed having Jacques. The brochures say that Jacques Pepin French specialties are featured in the Grand Dining Room but we did not find that to be the case.
We were Diamond level ...
My wife and I have cruised over 20 times travelling the world over in varying degrees of shipboard luxury. We've sailed on RCCL, Princess, Holland America, Crystal, Cunard, Silversea, Seabourn, and Oceania-this is our fourth cruise on Oceania. Oceania had been our favored line even within this exalted company. Having read so many equivocal and downright negative reviews, I wondered what we ...
The best service and dining possible. Everyone helpful and cordial. Everything organized perfectly.
If you want a nice mature group of passengers that are well traveled, respectful of one another, are friendly and courteous, this is the place to be. If you want roller coasters, rock climbing and blearing rock music all day, maybe not.
All restaurants are wonderful. The open air seating ...
