1-10 of 28 Oceania Regatta Cruise Reviews for Fitness to Asia
This was our first cruise with Oceania and a small ship. It was great we could stop at places that larger ships do not visit.
Staff and food were really excellent, but the entertainment was not as good or varied as a bigger ship can provide.
Our cabin was on Level 7 (A1Concierge Veranda) and it was disappointing to discover our hand basin was cracked, the soap dish was badly chipped and then ...
Oceania bills itself as luxury cruising with gourmet dining. It misses both those marks by lack of attention to the details that separate luxury from everyday. The very first impression is when you are checked in. Instead of entering into a beautiful lobby, you are herded into the back door by the Regatta Lounge. Instead of actually going into the lounge, a staff member briefs a group on the life ...
We are long time Oceania aficionados, and were very much looking forward to this cruise from Singapore to Sydney. The Regatta is a small ship (and I mention this as a plus) which was last refurbished in 2019. While I have no complaints about the condition of the ship, it does not have the "wow" factor many people are looking for while cruising.
My biggest complaint is the unfortunate decline ...
This was our first time on an Oceania ship. Friends had said they were very good and considered a "higher level" cruise line. Was really looking forward to the trip. We did a 14 day portion of the 77 day trip from LA to Sydney.
The hotels chosen by Oceania for before and after cruise stay in Tokyo and HK were wonderful. However there was a confusion re bus number on embarkation day to take us ...
We were anticipating a culinary experience which we had not done before and hoped to learn on the things we had missed out on in the past.
We thought we would give you our thoughts about this cruise.
Our first impression of the ship when we embarked was "what the hell have we done".
We were instructed to go to deck 9 for lunch (pool deck) where we found Waves grill which served burgers ...
Chose because it was easy to get to embarkation port and part of the world we had not been to. Staff were at times too over attentive but mainly great. Appreciated some remembering our names and their friendliness.
Otherwise mostly as expected. However advertised amenities were not offered, eg no fitness instructor on board. Some dance lessons were offered but lasted only 20 minutes. Poorly ...
After cruising 60+ times on various lines, we decided to see what all the Oceania fuss was about. We sailed in October-November 2022 from Papeete, Tahiti to Singapore for a total of 30 days.
Rather than Go into every tiny detail, I’ll hit the highlights and some of the not-so-great things about our month-long South Pacific cruise.
Pros: above all, the service. From the first morning onboard ...
Just as introduction: I like Oceania's smaller ships a little bit better than their bigger ones, but mostly we choose by itinerary. We're Oceania regulars, but occasionally cruise on Viking Ocean, which we also love. We've also cruised about 4 times on other ships. We were happy to find that Oceania's quality had not gone down in the year plus it had been since we had last cruised. The ...
5th sailing with Oceania..love the staff, sizes of their ships and the itineraries. We have been on the Nautica and Marina as well. Both very nice ships with equally wonderful staff and service. More specialty restaurants on the Marina because it is a bigger ship. Always find the staff to be responsive to our needs...even to the point of searching for jello for room service when one of us had an ...
I paid over $14,000 for a solo stateroom for a 31 days luxury cruise. OCI's confirmation brochure informed that an automatic 18% gratuities would be added to my account. I called the cruise planner stating that gratuity paying is my prerogative, not OCI's. He stated that I must inform the Purser on board. I did so after embarkation. Even then "automatic gratuity" charge appeared on every charge ...
