Oceania Sewage in room

Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Sirena

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

Normally, Oceania is our go to cruise line with smaller less crowded ships and fabulous cuisine. 2/3rds into this cruise we woke to raw sewage spewing up through the shower drain and spilling into the room. At first, they claimed they would have us back in the room after cleanup, which of course was ludicrous given sewage on and under the carpet. Oceania had offered a measly amount discount for a ...

Sirena January 24- Cabin stewards and wait staff are, as always, terrific. We've cruised with Oceania for years and we are continually impressed. I can't say enough about the over-worked people who make the beds and carry the trays and swab the decks. They are just about universally accommodating and pleasant. I suspect that the staff has been significantly reduced. Before Covid the waiters ...

Disappointing "finest cuisine at sea"

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Oceania Vista

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

Just back from an 11-day cruise on Oceania Vista. The short version: Vista is a new and beautiful ship with poor food. The cabins are tastefully designed. The crew is mostly friendly and accommodating (with a few notable exceptions). As impressive as some of the elements of the ship are, though, they never seem to gel into a coherent whole. This was our second Oceania cruise (we were on Riviera ...

The new Vista ship is magnificent. Design and interior design has to be the best afloat. After that, dissapointing. We are normally Seabourn passengers but were lured to their new ship. I feel sure they didn’t have the full compliment of crew onboard. Also some of the waiting staff were very inexperienced. We did 2 back to back cruises and the second one was a complete replica of the ...

First time for us on Oceania. Very small ship. No crowds. They advertise "The best cuisine at sea, NOT! The buffet was awful. Main dining room, hit or miss. Specialty dining(included in price) Very Good. Room service was fast and efficient. Bread was always stale. Not much entertainment on board but enjoyable. Comedian was just plain terrible. Her second show drew less than 20 people. I was on ...

This was our 90th cruise with 14 being on Oceania. We had effectively a back to back cruise. I have never encountered such an old age structure with so many vacant and bewilded passengers with their mobility scooters and strollers. Many passengers were coughing and sneezing making sure they shared it with everyone. How in this day and age is it acceptable to blow your nose on a napkin and leave it ...

If You're Concerned About the Environment or Your Personal Health, Avoid Oceania Vista

We've been on 20+ cruises and never gave much thought to the environmental impact (our bad) , but on the first day of sailing on Vista we had soot balls (from the exhaust) all over our expensive veranda, making it all but unusable. This continued through the 10-day cruise. We even had to close the veranda door to avoid exhaust coming into our room. We were deck 7 aft, but heard similar complaints ...

Sailed Oceania on Riviera and Regatta and was really looking forward to Vista. The ship is beautiful and the staff everywhere were wonderful…they are who keeps this line afloat. The food was good but not great. There was a hit or miss to it as well..one night Polo was good the next time not so good. Ember was terrible “beignets” were donut holes and the lobster roll pure mayo. The same food ...

This would be our 4th Oceania cruise. We've sailed on Marina and Riviera. We are Elite Plus on Celebrity. We have also sailed with Viking, Azamara, and Royal Caribbean. We found out that we love the small ships. Oceania always excelled in making us feel special. We rarely had problems with Oceania. then there was Vista Embarkation was easy. We dropped off our luggage around 1:30 and parked at ...

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary/timing and the fact that Oceania is considered "near luxury". This ship has most assuredly seen its finer day. It is dated and old feeling. Peeling paint on bathroom door. Discolored areas around doors and floor in tiny (very, very tiny) shower. I was told that men were going to the Spa to shower because they couldn't fit into the shower. Now maybe ...
