The cruise staff was very very nice. That's the only positive thing. The cruise was attended by emptying 3 or 4 retirement old folk home. Maybe, 10 people under 70 and there were many people were on walkers and wheelchairs. In addition, the very few activities were canceled when a gastro infection was taking people down. No daily lively entertainment. This cruise is for recovering from a ...
We are long time Oceania customers (7 cruises) but had to cancel our last two cruises because of COVID and health issues. Therefore we were looking forward to our back to back cruises with a line that had always met or exceeded our expectations.
Things got off on the wrong foot when the company changed their business style. They went to Simply More. Before we were given onboard credit to be ...
This cruise left out of Miami and ended 10 hellish days later in Panama City. We started out with rough seas by the second day, not Oceanias fault, so we missed our first stop. We had already been notified that our Columbia stop had been canceled. The. Cruise line never offered any compensation for these two cancelations. Then around day four we noticed that their sanitation procedures were ...
We wanted to experience a small ship cruise line and chose Oceania. We are an experienced Cruiser primarily on Celebrity. We wanted to see if the 25% differential between Celeb Acqua Class and Oceania was worth it. It's NOT. Average age on this cruise was Near Death. It should be sponsored by a Funeral Home or Long-Term Care provider. The food as advertised was very good. The Specialty ...
This was our 2nd cruise with oceania the 1st to Greece was excellent. We choose this cruise for its fantastic itinerary and departure from Aruba since it was on our bucket list. Once on board our inside SR was clean and very comfortable the entire staff on board were really friendly. The ships outdoor seating was beautiful and plenty of tables. We were only able to take 3 excursions and we were ...
My husband and I took the Serina cruise March 3rd - 10th. First we stayed in a penthouse room. Our butler was wonderful and housekeeper took great care of us. The Red Ginger was a great experience and food. We did have one good meal at you main restaurant and waves was our go to for lunch. Our disappointment started at the main restaurant when our food sat out for some time (my husband ...
We were under the impression that Oceania was a step above the rest. Wrong. The very last minute after we had paid for our cruise we were told that we would be late for three ports due to carbon footprint. How ridiculous. If we had known this prior, knowing that we would actually be missing a total of a half day, we would have considered another cruise line. Also, in leu of that, we found out ...
Getting away from English weather seemed a good idea, Our suite, the staff and the food were all ok but dear god there is no fun on this ship. The entertainment was lacklustre with the band going through the motions, the youngsters sang and danced their hearts out but the repertoire was awful all very amateur dramatics. The comedian was unbearable. The chamber quartet were very good but there is ...
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 ...
Do not under any circumstances book Oceania. For some context, I have been cruising for twelve years and have never written a negative review. I typically cruise Seabourn and Windstar and love both. This was the ultimate disappointment. Oceania advertises the best cuisine at sea, it was some of the worst food I've had at sea. The only laughter we had was with fellow passengers joking at the ...
