Oceania Eastern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise to avoid winter snow up north. We have visited the Caribbean many times so the excursions and sightseeing were less important than getting away and relaxing. I gained six pounds from eating the food which was excellent. We ate almost all of our meals at the Terrace Grill which offered lobster tails, fish, lamb chops, shrimp, steaks at lunch and dinner. They had carving ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This was our first experience on a smaller higher end ship and it was well worth it. Unlike some of our earlier cruises on NCL, the other cruisers well interesting well behaved pleasant people. It was striking that the very well stocked library was often busy and in walking around the pool or lounges a large number of people, perhaps a majority, were reading. The food was extremely good with ...

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 ...

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 ...

Skipped our favorite port ( St Barts ) and one other. Second time this has happened to us with Oceania, and definitely the last. Problems with our suite - too cool day one ( replace units in ceiling ) too hot day two ( replaced units again). Not working day 3 - finally got a capable mechanic who took about 15 seconds to fix the problems. Noise above our heads ( dining area that is NOT open at ...

First off, I'd give it 4-1/2 stars, not quite five but still a strong positive rating. Arrival at Terminal J was easy - we drove the two hours south, dropped off our luggage at the entrance (with spouse) and parked right across the street. A helpful porter handled the rest - and similar on the way back. The ship is quite beautiful, we loved the understated but elegant decor and soft tones ...

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 ...
