Oceania Cruise Reviews for Luxury to the Southern Caribbean

This is my review of the Oceania cruise on the Sirena ship from Miami to the Canary Islands that lasted 2 weeks from 27 March to 10 April 2024. The food for all 3 meals plus afternoon tea, service, both cabin, reception and dining, and entertainment were excellent. In particular, the cruise director, Leslie Howard, was fantastic. The ship was in great shape; it was very well maintained. It ...

Oceania Sirena - Miami to Panama City - March 7-17 2024 This was my third cruise with Oceania. The first was the Eastern Mediterranean in 2009, the second was Northern Europe in 2012. I really enjoyed those two cruises; this one, not so much. Based on my experiences on this cruise, it's unlikely I will take a 4th cruise with Oceania. Let's start with the good. The food was excellent. I did ...

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 are long time Oceania customers (7 cruises) but had to cancel our last two cruises because of COVID and health issues. Therefore we were looking forward to our back to back cruises with a line that had always met or exceeded our expectations. Things got off on the wrong foot when the company changed their business style. They went to Simply More. Before we were given onboard credit to be ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Normally, Oceania is our go to cruise line with smaller less crowded ships and fabulous cuisine. 2/3rds into this cruise we woke to raw sewage spewing up through the shower drain and spilling into the room. At first, they claimed they would have us back in the room after cleanup, which of course was ludicrous given sewage on and under the carpet. Oceania had offered a measly amount discount for a ...

Sirena January 24- Cabin stewards and wait staff are, as always, terrific. We've cruised with Oceania for years and we are continually impressed. I can't say enough about the over-worked people who make the beds and carry the trays and swab the decks. They are just about universally accommodating and pleasant. I suspect that the staff has been significantly reduced. Before Covid the waiters ...

After some time in Panama City and a slow trip back home, our bags are unpacked and I am now provide this very subjective, but hopefully balance, review. Overall, we had an excellent cruise with good to excellent food and service. By way of background, we have only sailed on Oceania and this was our 6th cruise with them. Embarkation We had registered for a 12:30 boarding time but found ...
