Chose this cruise for the itinerary of Argentina, Antartica and Chile, but the pretour to iguazzu falls (amazing!!! this is a fantastic pretour. Belmont hotel and our Argentinean guide Sol were a huge surprise - fabulous!) turned out to be a highlight; so consider it!
The ship is due for a retrofit and needs it. Our owners suite was huge and lovely; so no complaints there, but our friends’ ...
We had not cruised for several years (pandemic and health issues) and were really excited to try a luxury cruise line. All of our previous 20 or so cruises have been with Premium cruise lines. We should have tried a short Oceania cruise before committing to a World Cruise so the fact that we were so disappointed was our fault entirely. On the positive side, the ship size was perfect. We were able ...
I chose this cruise for the itinerary. The experience was 0 stars.
1. Free WIFI was mostly no WIFI, when it was available it was agonizingly slow and kept disconnecting, allowed one device per cabin. IT was totally not interested in solving connection issues. Movies were not updated for 6 months.
2. Brown congealed lettuce was served in the salad bars, hot food not hot, cold food not ...
We chose Oceania because of friends recommendations. We have been on over a dozen other cruise ships and this was by far the most disappointing experience.
For a concierge level room compared to similar class on other ships, this was well below average. The concierge lounge was sparse and the appetizers snacks were the same every day.
The worst experiences were found in the shore ...
NOTE: We were only on the first segment from Miami to San Francisco.
The following review is intended to provide helpful information to those considering cruising on the Oceania Insignia. Please remember that this is only one person’s opinion and may not reflect your view or the opinions of others. I will be providing a grade for each of the ship’s various services along with an explanation of ...
This was our first Oceania cruise - a 51 day cruise through South America departing Florida on December 18, 2022 and arriving in Santiago, Chile on February 7. Very scenic and interesting itinerary - my wife and I saw and learned a great deal. As context, we have slightly over 400 days of cruising in the past 12 years on various cruise lines including Princess, Holland America, Celebrity and ...
This itinerary was enticing, down the Amazon River, Brazilian ports, lots of days at sea. Our third Oceania sail, second on Marina, our favorite ship, not too big, not too small, all specialty restaurants included.
Passengers who chose shore excursions sponsored by Oceania were generally disappointed. Brazilians do not categorically learn English; these ports do not get many cruise ships due ...
Marina is a 10+ year old ship that looks her age, Decor is dark, halls are dimly lit. You can see signs of rust, large dents on the ships side, and the ship was due for refit in 2022 and then postponed to 2023 and again until 2024. This obviously is due to NCLs tightening the budget. Several crew members complained about issues with kitchen, dishwashers etc that are showing their age. Ship ...
On december 26, 2022, the captain ran the ship into a sandbar on the amazon river. we lost all power (while i had just put shampoo in my hair in the shower). we also lost all water. we heard nothing from the bridge once emergency (and very limited) power came back on -- but not in our cabin. the ship dropped anchor --- i'm guessing to stop us from drifitng onto the shore or in the paths of ...
I chose this cruise for my husband and myself to try Oceania Cruises as we usually go on Celebrity and we wanted to go to the Amazon. We will not go on Oceania again!
We met fabulous fellow guests on the cruise. The dining staff and cabin staff were wonderful. The reservation desk and concierge had some of the rudest people I've ever met. You are nickeled and dimed.
Our cabin was tired and ...
