My sister celebrated her 71st Birthday on the ship - the cabin team helped make her day extremely memorable! We were all "over the moon" surprised! Never been on a Cruise line that went to this extent before!!! Well done Oceania!

Good, yet not the best experience.
"Another thing that kind of ticked me off was the general attitude of the Cruise Director, and Assistant Cruise Director.Other than these few, yet important, points: it was a good cruise...."Read More

Just read an earlier review of this trip. We were also in Concierge, 9th,midship. Ams1234 is accurate in all areas. I would emphasize our extreme disappointment in the numerous descriptions of the excursions that were changed in the final description provided in the list document. The worst was Santorini,they advised in bold yellow highlighter that all bus tours included a 1/2 mile walk UPHILL not ...

We chose this cruise because we loved the itinerary, and have sailed with Oceania several times in the past. We were in a Concierage level three room on the 9th floor room. This was our fifth cruise with Oceania, and sadly it will be our last. Prior to Covid I would say the cruise line was solidly a five star line, while sometimes they had hiccups the service and food was always outstanding. I ...

Marina - weather affected cruise

The weather played havoc with our cruise and while I understand that no-one can control that, I'm not sure that the best decisions were always made. We missed a day in Bordeaux and Tangier - both highlights of the cruise. We had 4 sea days instead of one, although we were compensated with a future cruise credit. Embarkation during a storm was a disaster. We had to drop untagged luggage at one ...

We responded to a special offer as we liked the look of the itinerary. Some guests arriving by private car found that the problems started before boarding as they had not been sent luggage labels. We phoned in advance to ask about this and were told that we get them at check-in. Great, but by then we would have dropped our car off for parking and our bags would have been taken by the baggage ...

This was an expensive cruise. Food was great except for one specialty restaurant, Polo Grill. First reservation made at sea. Order of queen cut prime rib was undercook, more raw if not rare, when I ordered medium rare. The turnaround time for each course exceeded 20 minutes. I did not even have time to order dessert. The other public eating venues and specialty restaurants were very good in ...

Took cruise because it had several stops we wanted to see. Unfortunately they canceled 3 of the ports. Substitutions were less than stellar and 1 was made into a sea day and two days of very slow cruising. The service was below oceania standards. We have noticed they are slipping and this cruise shows how far down they have gone. Rooms are always cramped on oceania. The serve you food at the ...

DISAPPOINTING FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS

See my Sirena review - many of the comments are the same. NOT THE FINEST CUISINE AT SEA (as Oceania claims) - in fact, far from it. One of my main grouses on this cruise was the fact that I fell really ill during the cruise. Of course I don't blame Oceania for that. But my partner went down to say we would have to cancel our participation in 2 excursions we had booked. Too late for a refund. I ...

Review for a Panama Canal & Central America Cruise on Marina

First Time Cruiser • Age 80s

We chose the cruise because of the Panama Canal transit. The shore excursions were very long involving much time in a coach. The itineraries were inflexible and at the mercy of the shoreside Tourist company. It was a pity that the stay in Nicaragua was cancelled but another destination could have been included. We spent 9 days at sea during a 20 day cruise. Service was patchy and it would seem ...

Oceania markets itself as a luxury brand, but did not meet my expectations. Service: This is such an important part of trying to distinguish oneself from other cruise lines. Service felt unorganized, as if this is the first week on the job for many workers. Staff in the Terrace Cafe buffet needs to be trained what they are serving. I needed to cancel the reservation at Jacques (due to ...

We sailed from Hamburg (departure June 9) to Oslo (arrival July 1 2023). Right from the beginning we ralised that the atmosphere was different: not so friendly, polite and professional. This could be ascribed to the fact that this cruise, or part of it, was offered at very low, almost dumping, prices to people booking after March. Something, we learned from friends who took advantage of this ...
