"It was too late to rebook with Oceania and because of port security in an industrial port, we could only go back to the ship where we booked the Jerusalem trip for the next day from the port of Haifa.We saw some different things this time with an excellent guide and afterward had a nice lunch and got introduced to some surprisingly good Maltese wine...."Read More

1-10 of 185 Oceania Marina Cruise Reviews for Senior to Europe - Western Mediterranean
We chose this cruise mainly for the itinerary (we hadn't been to Morocco), which was cancelled before we left and replaced with Palma de Majorca (our 5th time there). We watched quite a few U-Tubes that seemed to indicate that Oceania was comparable to Viking (which is our favorite ocean line). Viking has one infuriating Con, which is, they demand FULL payment for a cruise one year to two ...
Our first cruise since 2012. Everything on Marina lived up to what we remember in terms of great and attentive service. there are always a few crew members who show indifference but the vast majority were wonderful. The measure of service is whether the service during the last 36 hours of a cruise was a good as the first 36. Oceania pretty much nailed it.
The Spanish Market dinners in the ...
We have cruised many times on all the mainstream lines, but this was our first time on Oceania. We loved it and have already booked another one. The Marina is a beautiful ship. The sculptures, the art work, the furnishings are all interesting and tastefully done. Our fellow passengers were a fine group of people, well travelled but not snooty. We loved that there were few announcements and no ...
We previously cruised with Holland America, Princess, and Carnaval. We chose this cruise for the interesting ports and for the food experience. We did Oceania tours at every port and were happy with all. They were well organized and very informative. Embarkation was easy, as long as one did the online preparation. We were on board by 11:30 am on embarkation day and had lunch on the Terrace ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary. We have not cruised on Oceania before, but got the brochure and it had places we wanted to go. This was our first post -covid cruise.
We had bought our cruise just before the Simply More promotions- so wine was not included.
Overall, it was a very nice ship-we had a few issues with the trim in our cabin popping off and problems with the sliding ...
We have always wanted to go on a Mediterranean cruise as our first trip to Europe. When we were looking online for some ideas we were impressed with the variety of routes that Oceania offers. The cruise line itself was recommended by friends who have cruised Oceania several times. They and we were pleased with the quality of the food (it lived up to my high expectations). Our housekeeping ...
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 ...
Decided to do a special Mother/Daughter trip and my mother requested an Oceania Cruise since she has sailed with them before. She raved about their food and we both love food so we decided on a Mediterranean cruise since I had never been to that area before.
Embarkation:
I would never use Oceania Air again unless they changed their process. Getting to the ship and back home were both ...
I would love to be gushing about how awesome our first (and last) Oceania Cruise was on the Marina. I will begin with the positive. The ship is beautifully appointed for an older ship and immaculately clean. The cabin staff is awesome as is the wait staff. They oversee all buffet food service - keeping guests from handling food. The bed was extremely comfortable and so were the pool loungers. ...
