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 ...
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 ...
We were under the impression that Oceania was a step above the rest. Wrong. The very last minute after we had paid for our cruise we were told that we would be late for three ports due to carbon footprint. How ridiculous. If we had known this prior, knowing that we would actually be missing a total of a half day, we would have considered another cruise line. Also, in leu of that, we found out ...
Getting away from English weather seemed a good idea, Our suite, the staff and the food were all ok but dear god there is no fun on this ship. The entertainment was lacklustre with the band going through the motions, the youngsters sang and danced their hearts out but the repertoire was awful all very amateur dramatics. The comedian was unbearable. The chamber quartet were very good but there is ...
On december 26, 2022, the captain ran the ship into a sandbar on the amazon river. we lost all power (while i had just put shampoo in my hair in the shower). we also lost all water. we heard nothing from the bridge once emergency (and very limited) power came back on -- but not in our cabin. the ship dropped anchor --- i'm guessing to stop us from drifitng onto the shore or in the paths of ...
Do not under any circumstances book Oceania. For some context, I have been cruising for twelve years and have never written a negative review. I typically cruise Seabourn and Windstar and love both. This was the ultimate disappointment. Oceania advertises the best cuisine at sea, it was some of the worst food I've had at sea. The only laughter we had was with fellow passengers joking at the ...
I had sailed with Oceania before it was taken over by Norwegian Cruise Lines. This was our first cruise since then. Dining room service so horrible. I complained in writing and was approached by an Assistant Captain while we were dining with friends in the evening. He wanted to talk about my dining room complaint. When i suggested we do that at another time, he said he wanted to do it now (in ...
Have cruised several times with Oceania before and they were all fine in the past.Not this time.
We have a PH Suite which was fine with the exception of the postage size bathroom.
The Spa was not serviced and kept clean and the Steam room and Jacuzzi were both warm but to HOT. No Sauna.
My wife purchased the Premium Drink Package and more often than not could not get American Chardonnay ...
I have been cruising for the last 20 years and Oceania cruise was the worst of all. This cruise marketed as “Upscale” was nothing but a hype, money-grabber and false advertising of #1 in hospitality. Poor quality of entertainment, rude & obnoxious Cruise Director (Ray) who didn’t know what he was doing and on top of it had an attitude. Besides neither was he seen on board nor there was any ...
I first experienced "Your World, Your Way" service on the Riviera in 2017. A 21 day Med cruise, It was fantastic! This was largely due to the fact that Peter Roberts was the Cruise Director and his partner Jason Parsons was the Assistant Cruise Director, they were amazing. The food and service on Riviera was also amazing and due to this experience the folks that I met on the Riviera decided to ...
