Oceania Italy Cruise Reviews

Nautica is a beautiful little ship. The crew were wonderful. Unfortunately this didn’t make up for a number of other issues relating to this supposedly upmarket company. 1. The itinerary change was so drastic it didn’t resemble what we booked in any way. Other ships still visited Egypt, Oman and Salalah and these ports were cancelled on our trip. The day we were meant to visit Athens was windy ...

We decided to add the cruise at the end of a land holiday in Italy and after 3 days in Venice. Check-in was very slow. No food or water was offered on a hot day. Not sure why staggered check-in times were required when all passengers were in the terminal at the same time when check-in opened. Our cabin in the middle of the ship was very nice. Champagne on ice in our cabin was a nice touch. ...

Read reviews and think thrice before booking an Oceania cruise. We booked the Goddesses to Gondolas cruise because of the pleasurable experience we previously had on (pre-Covid) Oceania, and we wanted to try out the newly-refurbished Riviera. We booked this cruise more than a year before the sailing because we were told by our travel agent that these cruises sell out fast. If we had the ...

This is our third Oceania cruise. We were disappointed in the lack of communication and food. We were not notified in advance of port requirements which most of the time ended up being an Oceania imposed requirement. Excursions were canceled with no reason given. Oceania excursions are awful. Over crowded, too much time spent standing around and most times you cannot even hear the guide. The food ...

Just got back from a 12 day cruise of the Mediterranean. There were 10 of us and my 81 year old mother was with us. She recently was in an accident and walks with a cane/walker. We rented a scooter on board which was helpful. However, I feel the ship, let her down on several occasions, which led to her overall experience being subpar. First, in Venice, there was no one to help her from the dock to ...

Oceania recommended by friends and cruise started in Malta. First time on the line and never again. First the good, we had a suite with a butler and amenities which frankly we used once. The free laundry was a 3 day turn around time. The food - the dining room and "special restaurants" were mediocore. We wound up dining in the buffet after trying the previous and frankly leaving to go to the ...

I don’t understand why Oceania is so highly rated on the internet: our ship was old and, in places, falling apart. The tours were mostly terribly organized (but very expensive), the food was hit or miss and the ‘entertainment’ other than Rodrigo at the piano, was subpar. We had a huge fiasco boarding the ship in Haifa because someone at Oceania didn’t realize it’s the sabbath, on Saturday, in ...

Although I have experience with cruising, my review is based purely on observation and not on comparison. We have state balcony room on the concierge level. First and the most striking is a wrongful advertisement as the best cuisine traveling experience/ elegant country style atmosphere . Neither one is correct. There are numerous flows which popped up as soon as you become more ...

We choose this cruise go to different areas than we normally cruise. We wenton several excursions. They were very pricy and just ok. The room was wonderful. The food at the specality restaurants was not good . The steaks were grey in color and had a bad taste. The same for the lobster. So we ended up eating the rest of the trip in the buffet. It was alot more limited than any cruise i have been ...

I chose this cruise for the itinerary and because for my 50th birthday I wanted a luxury cruise with wonderful food. My spouse and I encouraged our friends to tag along and they spent more than we usually would for the Oceania experience. The ship and concierge rooms we had were nice enough, we also enjoyed the small ship feel and ease of embarking and disembarking each time. Most of the ...
