Oceania guest relations - sharply below expectations
"A frantic call to my travel agent finally cleared it up: NO, not Fusina: Check-in point is still Venice Cruise Terminal, and guests to be bused from there by the cruise line to Fusina, and yes, I should have paid attention to this one message which was buried in an email sent by Oceania and to me a week prior to sailing.An email to my Oceania contact at guest relations in Miami got better results: He confirmed right away that ‘embarkation and check-in point’ was indeed Fusina as stated on the boarding pass...."Read More

Review for a Mediterranean Cruise on Sirena

We booked a penthouse suite and splurged because it came with a butler and the ability to have meals in our room, plus a balcony. Our butler, Samrat, was excellent and if you can afford the cost of a PH room I’d recommend it. Only do not book room 8045. We asked to be changed the minute we got into the room because as Samrat was talking, I couldn’t pay attention due to the scraping noises above ...

Decided to write up a review to share our thoughts and insights in hope it might help others.
Summary:
This was our second cruise overall and first on Oceania. Our prior cruise was on NCL in 2010 with ~4200 people. Far too crowded for our tastes. We picked this cruise due to wanting to see several places (and islands) in the eastern Mediterranean on a smaller ship. Overall, we were pleased ...

We picked this cruise for the itinerary along with the expectation that Oceania was one of the better cruise lines. The itinerary did not disappoint (albeit very busy) but Sirena was a big disappointment.
Embarkation: There was conflicting and last minute details on how and where to check in. There were endless emails about watching the safety video. We checked in online and the photo ...

Our 3rd and final Oceania cruise. Frankly we fail to understand the number of repeat guests. I guess my main quibble is the quality - variable quality - of the food. It's like we are all extras in a restaurant promotion video who have been programmed/coached to play fine-dining guests - whatever the food is like. 'The finest cuisine at sea' is one of Oceania's mottoes. It just ain't. Raw poached ...

Gave 4 stars, because 5 is almost impossible.
I don't understand some of the negative reviews. Oceania has been a great choice, especially for the price when compared with other cruise line offerings. Some people must expect everything to be absolutely perfect, which is really not possible. Complaints about the size of the bathroom? You should have checked the pictures and floor plan before ...

Overall, the food was very good. Oceania says they have "The Finest Cuisine At Sea". What was good, was very good, however, pineapple and melons shouldn't be crunchy. Also, they served the absolutely worst bananas foster (one of my favorite desserts) I've ever had.
The crew was very friendly and the shore excursions were nice.
I was in an Owner's Suite on deck 6. During docking, which ...

Anyone who comes to this site will naturally look at the overall rating and number of awards received by Oceania and its ships first. Beware: A little bit of investigation will show you that the awards and most of the positive reviews are all from results prior to 2018. Reviews closer to the present tell a less rosy story. Our recent experience with Oceania before and during a Mediterranean cruise ...

Just got back from a 12 day cruise of the Mediterranean. There were 10 of us and my 81 year old mother was with us. She recently was in an accident and walks with a cane/walker. We rented a scooter on board which was helpful. However, I feel the ship, let her down on several occasions, which led to her overall experience being subpar. First, in Venice, there was no one to help her from the dock to ...

Oceania recommended by friends and cruise started in Malta. First time on the line and never again. First the good, we had a suite with a butler and amenities which frankly we used once. The free laundry was a 3 day turn around time. The food - the dining room and "special restaurants" were mediocore. We wound up dining in the buffet after trying the previous and frankly leaving to go to the ...

Have been on many Oceania boats but not since COVID. Definitely have lowered standards. Ports were great except Albania. Supposed to be in Tirana but instead were berthed in Durres. For independent travellers, no bus to Tirana. Durres a big yawn as was Albania. The ship definitely treats passengers who do not choose to use their tours (expensive and slow) as 2nd class citizens. Food not ...
