Excellent ship; great food; no nickel and dimming; beautiful room; incredible bathroom; public bathrooms clean and beautiful; plenty of hand sanitizers everywhere; great specialty restaurants with several of them included in the fare; efficient port stops; great staff with few exceptions; plenty of seating in restaurants and in public spaces; great menus; some dishes too salty; entertainment is ...
Cruise chosen as it was a round trip from Southampton [Portsmouth], so that did not involve flying and we could drive right to the terminal and leave the car in the hands of the efficient on-site parking company.
We boarded smoothly and went directly to our cabin.
We sailed on time into the Channel, where the sea was very smooth.
The cabin was excellent and newly re-furbished. The ...
After I booked this b2b from Copenhagen to Reykjavik, I had some misgivings due to some comments on this website; therefore, I had to review after my own experience.
The cruise line – Oceania exceeded my expectations in just about every way. I was last on Oceania over ten years ago; I thought they were good then but I believe they have improved considerably.
This is as close to old-style ...
We have always done independent travel and love being on our own schedule. This cruise was a first for us and we were apprehensive about being with so many others on a set schedule. As it turns out we had much more freedom than anticipated and we thoroughly enjoyed our fellow passengers as well as the kind and hard working crew.
We chose this cruise based on itinerary. We were blessed with ...
We were group of 8, including 3 couples. We last sailed Oceania in 2007 and had always planned to return to Europe.
Spent 1 night in Amsterdam pre cruise, which helped with the jetlag. Food was delicious, played trivia every day, took in most of the nightly shows. We especially enjoyed the Polo Grill, but thouroughly enjoyed getting together for dinner
each night with our group. Personally we ...
This was our 5th cruise on Oceania, and it was as great as always. We were on the Baltic cruise and although we had been to a number of the ports there were some we hadn't visited. Since the ship is only in most ports a day, there is always something new we find to explore even though we have been in the port before.
There were only about 350 passengers (so we heard) on our cruise. Needless to ...
We booked this cruise on board in December 2019 just before COVID hit. Were looking forward to St. Petersburg which was dropped due to the war and overnights were added near the end of the cruise.
Service aboard was way above excellent. Food was back up to pre covid levels. OLife Excursions were good to excellent.
Because this cruise was low % of passengers, we noticed the upgrade of ...
This is our 6th cruise with Oceania and 2nd time on the Marina and loved every moment. Embarkation in Southampton was efficient and we were quickly onboard. Our Concierge room was immaculate and as in past cruises the cabin staff were excellent and always greeted us by name. There has been discussion on some boards about the decline in Oceania food however, our personal experience was that we ...

We have cruised many times with various companies and found the Marina is still a fabulous ship showing no signs of age despite a visit to dry dock being scheduled.
We had a veranda cabin which had a full bath and separate shower and the cabin was the size of some penthouse cabins on other ships. The mattress and bedding were superb.
Dining was excellent in all locations throughout the ...
