Frustration and Disappointment

Review for a Antarctica Cruise on Marina

First I want to state that we were very excited to take this cruise and had high expectations given Oceania’s reputation. We had recently taken Holland America across the Pacific and expected this to be even better. We were terribly disappointed. The very first problem was the embarkation. The pier in Rio is large and there were 2 other ships in port at the time. It was also very crowded with ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

After 37 years cruising, we decided that a trip and cruise to Tahiti and French Polynesian Islands would be a fitting finale. Oceania Nautica's itinerary and cruise dates were the answer. I read the reviews on here, plus social media and I had a good idea what to expect. Here are my thoughts on this cruise, the ship, food, entertainment. Embarkation: Arrived in the rain at 1130am. The ...

HAPPY CRUISING WITH OCEANIA

We chose this cruise having cruised with Oceania on the Riviera 8 years ago. I have read some of the reviews on the NAUTICA before we traveled and having now completed the cruise I believe that some of the expectations are unfair. The ambience of Oceania is very comfortable and uncrowded and fits within the 5 star+ bracket that is on its own. The lodgings very comfortable being suite forward ...

We selected this voyage for the itinerary, a Covid-delayed celebration of our 25th anniversary. I want to dispute some of the criticism I've read on this site. The food was fantastic even if appetizers were largely the same from night to night. Grand Dining Room experience was equal to specialty restaurants, but both Polo Grill and Tuscana had excellent menus and delightful, hot food that was ...

THE DECREASE OF QUALITY

The food was far below our previous experiences as far as the choice of the menus, the quality of the prepared food and the description/naming of the dishes, such as using names that didn't reflect the expected dish with the corresponding name. the buffet also could use some improvement as the products were not as fresh as expected. Also, some products such as bananas or plain oil(for ...

Review for a Australia & New Zealand Cruise on Regatta

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 ...

Falls short of the mark

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

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 ...

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

We spent 39 days on the Marina (back to back Miami to Lima and Lima to Buenos Aires) and so happy to finally make it home. The cruise had a few wonderful highlights separated by long boring stretches. We have cruised 20+ times but only our second time with Oceania. The first was in Asia in 2016 and all that could go wrong did. All the regulars told us this was out of norm and that Oceania ...

We chose this cruise because it was going to Antarctica at the time that suited us. We have sailed Regent before and had good reviews of Oceania. How wrong we were. This cruise was awful from boarding queues to the end. Oceania at minimum misrepresented this cruise and at worst, outright lied about the ship's amenities. Let's start... Boarding Disorganization was so awful in Lima that ...

My partner and I chose this cruise based on Oceania's tag line "Best cuisine in the sea", or words to that effect. Twenty days on the ship and it was downhill from day two. The problem was the food. It was not just us, but practically every other passenger we spoke to, We have cruised on other lines, Cunard, Celebrity, Holland America, Windstar and have never been disappointed with the ...
