Oceania Miami Cruise Reviews

Just back from an 11-day cruise on Oceania Vista. The short version: Vista is a new and beautiful ship with poor food. The cabins are tastefully designed. The crew is mostly friendly and accommodating (with a few notable exceptions). As impressive as some of the elements of the ship are, though, they never seem to gel into a coherent whole. This was our second Oceania cruise (we were on Riviera ...

We recently returned from our eleven-night Caribbean cruise on the Vista. While parts of the cruise were good, there were parts that gave us pause for future Oceania cruises. We are both in our early 60s and have been cruising since 1990, but really picked up our cruising pace in 2010. We’ve been on Celebrity the most but have recently enjoyed Regent and Silversea. We were looking for Oceania ...

This was our first experience on a smaller higher end ship and it was well worth it. Unlike some of our earlier cruises on NCL, the other cruisers well interesting well behaved pleasant people. It was striking that the very well stocked library was often busy and in walking around the pool or lounges a large number of people, perhaps a majority, were reading. The food was extremely good with ...

This was our 8th Oceania cruise as Oceania has become our favourite line to cruise with over the last number of years. We did a BtoB for 18 days. The ship is beautiful as are the color schemes however certain design modifications from Riviera and Marina were not appreciated. Our cruise was very enjoyable. The islands visited offered many excursions and the ports gave us plenty of duty-free ...

The new Vista ship is magnificent. Design and interior design has to be the best afloat. After that, dissapointing. We are normally Seabourn passengers but were lured to their new ship. I feel sure they didn’t have the full compliment of crew onboard. Also some of the waiting staff were very inexperienced. We did 2 back to back cruises and the second one was a complete replica of the ...

First off, I'd give it 4-1/2 stars, not quite five but still a strong positive rating. Arrival at Terminal J was easy - we drove the two hours south, dropped off our luggage at the entrance (with spouse) and parked right across the street. A helpful porter handled the rest - and similar on the way back. The ship is quite beautiful, we loved the understated but elegant decor and soft tones ...

We chose the cruise as it was goiing to interesting different ports of call. The first one was Costa Maya, where we were unable to dock and understand that happens frequently. also heard that actually its very scruffy there. Other ports of call varied. We had an excellent excursion from Guatamala with brilliant guide and included high speed boat trip up the New River. The Tabyana beach day, ...

First time for us on Oceania. Very small ship. No crowds. They advertise "The best cuisine at sea, NOT! The buffet was awful. Main dining room, hit or miss. Specialty dining(included in price) Very Good. Room service was fast and efficient. Bread was always stale. Not much entertainment on board but enjoyable. Comedian was just plain terrible. Her second show drew less than 20 people. I was on ...

This was our first cruise on Oceania after previous cruises on Seabourn and Viking. Vista is a beautiful ship with high class interiors and all the amenities one could want. Having just been launched in 2023, the new ship design allowed for new approaches to a healthy environment, such as no-touch doors in all public areas. Just waive your hand over a sensor and the door opens. The buffet in ...

The ship itself is lovely. The Concierge stateroom was nice, more storage needed. The food was fabulous, the specialty restaurants were superb and the staff friendly and very accommodating. That having been said, first thing missing is a good interactive App. You couldn’t see a map of the ship unless you were at the elevators. You couldn’t plan your day unless you carried around the printout they ...
