Review for a Transpacific Cruise on Regatta
BryanS1958
First Time Cruiser • Age 60s
We were on the Regatta from Australia to New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa x 2 and French Polynesia. My feedback is as follows:
1. Staff - very friendly and generally eager to please. However, tend to be a number who lack training, so service is variable.
2. Cabins - please don't pretend they are state rooms, it insults the passengers! Generally basic, but good enough, but shower area is tiny. Bigger ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s
After cruising many lines over 35 years, Oceania is our favorite. Great food, small ships, and interesting ports and excursions (previous to this cruise).
First, the positive: Oceania has great ships. We've been on the Riviera (@1200 passengers) and the smaller Insignia and Nautica (@600 passengers}. The ships are well laid out with specialty restaurants, a fantastic buffet, comfortable ...

Like several other reviewers, we had sailed with Oceania on 5 occasions before the "pandemic" and rebooked based on those experiences.
This is clearly a company where the dead hand of remote corporate policy wonks is at work, setting procedures and practices on the ships with absolutely no clue of what going on at the operational, customer facing level. Penny pinching ad nauseum.
This was an ...

We wanted to try a new line (we've cruised more than 20 times on Celebrity/Azamara) and Oceania had a cruise from French Polynesia to Peru. The selling point was a stop at Easter Island and then a post-tour of Machu Picchu.
The ship itself was good. Our suite was spacious. The food was excellent in the specialty restaurants, average in the main dining area.
Entertainment was hit and miss. ...

Had been with Oceania in 2011 and thoroughly enjoyed it. That cruise was a comfortable, fairly sophisticated experience, and was always was keen to repeat the experience.
The company brochure is now really misleading. It shows elegant well dressed people, where in actual fact on this trip the majority of people were dressed in baseball caps, T shirts and dad trainers. We are in out late 60's ...

We chose the cruise for the itinerary and the fact that we had been on the Mariner before and had liked it. This time however we were sorely disappointed. The captain seemed to have difficulty communicating with the passengers and any major announcements were handled by the cruise director. There was no warning that we would be without internet or communication the last half of the cruise. The ...

10+ Cruises • Age 70s
We are not new to cruising as this was our 15th cruise but the first with Oceania. We were attracted to Oceania because of the French Polynesia itinerary as well as its reputation for good service and food. We absolutely loved the itinerary as well as the very good service by our cabin staff and butler as well as the food in the specialty restaurants. However, we found that the added costs were ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s
We travelled on 30 January for a 10 day Polynesian cruise on the ms marina and what should have been the trip I dreamed off turned completely bad due to incompetent staff. I like to warn future travelers to have a good medical insurance, lucky we had one. But honestly I felt shy to present these bills to the insurance.
We were totally ripped off by the medical center. I understand that ...

10+ Cruises • Age 70s
We chose this cruise of Polynesia solely because it was going to Easter Island - a port that few ships go to, and they are usually on a world cruise. We also were interested in going to the Pitcairn Islands, another port which is very hard to visit. Because of these two ports, we were willing to pay two to three times what other highly rated ships charge for tours of Polynesia, but without ...

We chose this cruise primarily because the itinerary included Easter Island, but also because of Oceania's reputation for upscale cruising and wonderful food. What a disappointment this turned out to be! Although the food more than lived up to the hype, there were so many other major and minor issues, I will not cruise with Oceania ever again.
I'll start with the positives:
* The embarkation ...
