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 ...
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 ...
This was our 8th Oceania cruise as Oceania has become our favourite line to cruise with over the last number of years. We did a BtoB for 18 days. The ship is beautiful as are the color schemes however certain design modifications from Riviera and Marina were not appreciated. Our cruise was very enjoyable. The islands visited offered many excursions and the ports gave us plenty of duty-free ...
We recently returned from our eleven-night Caribbean cruise on the Vista. While parts of the cruise were good, there were parts that gave us pause for future Oceania cruises.
We are both in our early 60s and have been cruising since 1990, but really picked up our cruising pace in 2010. We’ve been on Celebrity the most but have recently enjoyed Regent and Silversea. We were looking for Oceania ...
Oceania Vista January 2024
Having been lucky enough to sail three times on Silversea ships, and once on Seabourn during 2023, we tried Oceania Vista in January 2024. This is a review of our latest cruise plus a brief comparison.
We boarded Vista at Miami, terminal B instead of the usual terminal J due to strong winds, making it unsafe to use the usual terminal. We took an Uber from our hotel ...
The Sirena is one of 4 small ships owned by the upmarket Oceania Cruises. The selling features are its small size, under 700 passengers, no crowds, lines, and children.
The officers, staff and crew could not have been nicer.
I was impressed by Carson Turner, a super - talented cruise director… a really affable guy who is also a talented singer and performer. Actually, the entire ...
4 1/2 stars. We were a couple with a B2 balcony on the E Caribbean cruise and had sailed on sister ship Regatta in Fr Polynesia roughly a year earlier (recommended). I think the 'overview' description of both ships as being smaller and therefore 'quieter' with fewer activities is really useful for first-timers to understand. It's true that the passenger profile skews older but we met (and met ...
Simply put, the only reason the Vista did not rate a fifth star was the inconsistent service and dining experiences, but more on that later.
The ships is beautiful and tastefully decorated throughout. With a full complement of only 1200 passengers there are rarely any lines and it was always possible to find a seat in the buffet area. We booked one of the few "juliet" balcony balconies which ...
Oceania has always been my favorite cruise line. The last two cruises have changed my mind. I traveled on Insignia in August and Sirena in November. On both cruises I missed what I had become accustomed to on Oceania which was tremendous food, attentive service and kindness/concern from the officers and staff. What I saw recently are over stressed workers who are stretched very thin, a decline in ...
We picked this cruise because the itinerary was very different, we were able to visit many islands that we had never been able to see : Tortola, St Barts St Vincent as well as the ABC islands which we love. It was more expensive than the usual Caribbean Cruise but we are fans of Oceania. Indeed the service is superior to most others, it was cruise number 36 for us. The inside cabin was pretty ...
