This was my first cruise with Oceania. It did not start well. I made the reservation and was told all kinds of stuff like how they would coordinate with me on Airline reservations (more in a minute), insurance, and freebees.
They never called about the airline reservations. They booked me out of a gateway 5 hours away on a day I didn't want to travel. They had me arriving in Stockholm about 4 ...
Three days in St Petersburg is what drew us to this particular cruise. From the moment we stepped on board, we felt like family.
Everyone was so pleasant -- the crew and the passengers! Our cabin attendant was very pleasant and knew our names and faces from the get-go; she often greeted us by name as we went down the hallways.
We were disappointed that we didn't get to Riga due to rough ...
Cuisine: Exceptional -- particularly in the grand dining room. Used a mix of Canyon ranch and regular choices to keep the calorie count down, but the selection of pastry did me in. Having said that, gained only two pounds. Not bad! Speciality restaurants as expected but Red Ginger was truly over the top for me.
Entertainment: Those playing violin, flute and piano were virtuoso quality. ...
My wife and I enjoyed back-to-back segments on the Marina. The first was in the Baltic; the second was primarily the fjords of Norway. Sometimes I just do not know if we were on the same cruise ship as others who found it less than an ideal cruise. We had plenty of hot water. The food was excellent in all the specialty restaurants. If not in a specialty restaurant, we either dined in our ...
My husband and I have been on many cruises, but decided to try Oceania for the first time.
We just returned from the Baltic cruise onboard the Marina. For the positives, the ship is very pretty, nice size and the food is good...I wouldn't say fabulous. Several of the meals in the "specialty dining" couldn't even prepare a steak to medium rare. It was either to done, or still bleeding. The ...
We picked this ship mostly for the ports of call. The passengers were older then we expected( we are mid 50's) however we met some great new friends and really enjoyed their company. The Ship was great and food and service better then expected. all the posts were better then expected as we thought Russia would be the highlight but really they were all special. We would recommend this trip for any ...
We chose this cruise for its ports in the Baltic, and also to try out Oceania which has been inundating us with brochures (which eventually worked, I guess:) Much about the ship and cruise suited us. We wanted a smallish ship that did not have big family groups and children for this cruise and that was the case. On the other hand there were some younger couples on board so it was not a totally ...
We chose this cruise because of the three days they had in St. Petersburg.
We found everything to be exceptional...meals, service, cruise ports and stops. The cruise tours off shore were quite expensive but we did our own thing. We used Alla Tours and they were amazing...I can't say enough about the tours and guides...especially Julia in St. P..but we were so tired after the full days that ...
Our travel agent suggested this cruise he said it would be suitable for us and we were not let down it was an amazing experience.We sailed on Oceania Marina mid June 2017 around the beautiful Baltic Sea, this was our first cruise and it lived up to and went beyond our expectations . Our cabin was on the eight floor and central to all services, restaurants and lifts. It was very spacious with large ...
This is our fifth with Oceania, only one on the smaller ships. Love the space and amenities on the big ones. The main selling points are the excellent staff and food and the fact that most things are included in the cost. Love the Country Club Casual dress code [3C] and free style dining. Love the selection of restaurants, none of which cost extra.
Really love La Terrace as it offers ...
