I had sailed Oceania before, but several years ago.
This itinerary caught my fancy and I remembered how wonderful was my first time with them...the Mediterranean.
Our itinerary was totally upset by weather it seems and we had to skip Bermuda where we were to spend three days...the real reason for this trip. Then they did try to substitute an out island visit but the seas were too rough for ...
We chose this cruise for two reasons. First, to spend time with my parents who traveled with us, and to see the southern part of South America which we had not seen prior. From that standpoint we accomplished goal one, and partially goal two. I'm a cruise veteran, having been on seven different cruise lines, for a total of 18 cruises. This was by far the worst experience we've had ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary, food expectations, and service levels. Not sure they lived up to any of it. While they cannot do anything about the weather (cancelling the Falklands) and uprisings (cancelling Pisco), their complete inability to communicate was unacceptable.
Pisco was cancelled before we even boarded, but they told no-one. We only learned about it by the itinerary ...
We’ve had four successful cruises with Oceania, including the Amazon, so continuing around South America with them seemed obvious. A sad mistake.
Our experience has been that it was very poorly planned by the itinerary team from the outset, we suffered three failed port visits for a mix of weather and ‘safety concerns’ (one, the Falklands, not unusual, but three!). The low point was a port ...
We have been on Oceania cruises before, and always felt they were superior to other cruise lines. However, we are extremely disappointing with our current cruise. The staff are great, the ship is clean, the food is good. What is not good are the excursions. There is great disorganization and red tape going through customs. For most of the ports, we were the first cruise ship to come through in ...
For its final winter in the Caribbean, some cabins on the 1200 passenger Oceania Riviera have had a facelift. We just completed 19 days on Riviera visiting eastern and western Caribbean ports, and some of the changes stand out.
The ports may not be what you recall. At San Juan, Puerto Rico the Riviera tied up at a great location, a short walk from the historic tourist area. Puerto Plata in the ...
Apologies for such a long review.
A party of five people travlling all family.
We booked our cruise ( and 1 to come) from our experience going on Regatta 5 years ago, unfortunately due to illness and COVID we have only just managed to get back to cruising !
Our flights were booked with Oceania, our non-stop flight was changed to a stop in Dubai, which was fine, we flew Emirates. All went ...
This was our 4'th cruise on the Riviera. We loved the refit(or reimagining, if you wish). The food overall was still excellent. The tea service was a bit nicer than in 2022(more selection)If you do scones at tea ASK for Clotted Cream. Otherwise you get whipped Cream.
I'll do the specialty restaurants first. Jacques was excellent. I advise to try the Sea Bass in Puff Pastry. It's their ...
We were meant to go on this trip in 2022 but Covid got in the way. So we were really looking forward to this cruise. Given the brochures outlined that we were going to experience the finest cuisine on the seas we had very high expectations. Unfortunately we were extremely disappointed. We would advise anyone thinking of booking a cruise with Oceania don't do it on the basis of their promises ...
Australia and New Zealand had been on my bucket list forever. I decided to upgrade my cruise experience and take this trip on Oceania. The cruise was a disappointment. It started when we came to board and we’re told we had to vivid test even though we had gotten an email 2 weeks earlier that we did not have to test. Mass confusion for the next three hours. The bathroom in the cabin was tiny. ...
