Have only been on larger ships from Celebrity and Royal Caribbean. Wanted to try a smaller ship.
We were very happy with our 1st experience on Oceania/Regatta. Ground transportation from LAX to ship was effortless as was our return. The same for Embarkation/Disembarkation - very organized.
We are not “foodies” and enjoyed all the restaurants including the 2 specialty restaurants. We recvd ...
My wife and I were tired of the hot and humid summer days here in Virginia so we booked a ten day cruise out of Seattle to Southeast Alaska. We were not disappointed. Everyday was in the sixties and the days were mostly over cast and not all that much rainy. We booked a Regatta penthouse suite room one of the very last available six months in advance. The room was adequate and the bath was ...
After much research, we chose Oceania to cruise Alaska for many reasons: the size of the ship to allow closer viewing of glaciers and inside passage cruising, crew to passenger ratio, refurbished interior design of the cabin and public spaces, specialty restaurants and overall dining, promise of cuisine excellence, gym, spa, and other amenities.
In reading some of the negative reviews posted ...
We had been to the States before and have friends living in LA so decided to visit them for a bit and then go on a before heading back home to NZ. It really was a great experience. So relaxing and a great way to visit some of the coastline.
I had ordered a PH2 suite which was great, but of course we are now ruined for any future trips. Loved how easy embarking was and the little extras like ...
This is our third cruise with Oceania and they over-delivered again. Here is what went right:
1) Oceania shore excursions on Bora-Bora/Raietea were on point and cost effective. Recommend:
-Vanilla farm/Pearl Farm tour with meal "Tahaa Cultural Experience" (best prices in Tahiti for fresh vanilla beans @ 3800xpf/50grams). Fantastic hula show on same tour with great meal with free rum ...
We booked this cruise back in April 2021 when everyone was getting vaccinated for covid and thinking the pandemic would be long over by July of 2022 (silly us!) We thought it would be a great way to reconnect in person with relatives we had not been able to see since before the pandemic. We booked five cabins for ten people. Each couple came from a different part of the US; New York City, ...
This was my first cruise with Oceania, but we have been on multiple cruises before (starting with Carnival long ago, also Azamara and Windstar). I greatly appreciated the ability to read reviews on this site, so I will try to give a very thorough review.
This cruise was outstanding, and we love Oceania now. We chose Oceania for the itinerary to Alaska (especially in and out from Seattle which ...
Our cruise was wonderful and though the ship had challenges out of their control (previous cruise had GI case and then, on board more GI cases) which necessitated a deep clean before embarking which delayed everyone in Sydney and then strict Code Red Level 2 protocols until the GI cases abated though they continued sanitizing and started taking temperatures half-way in NZ due to increase threat of ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary and the standard of care afforded by Oceania.
We really enjoyed this cruise. The passengers were younger than anticipated; we met many interesting people. All the staff were exceptional: professional, polite, competent. The food and food venue choices were varied and many. I do feel the desserts were not up to what we experienced on the Marina ...
This was second of 2 back to back cruises on same ship. I chose the itinerary because I wanted to see both Australia and New Zealand, plus Bali, so the two cruises we took appeared to be a great fit. We are Oceania regulars, with (now) 14 cruises on Oceania, I think 4 on Viking Ocean (loved also, but it's a little more expensive in my opinion), and 3 on Princess/Celebrity (didn't care for). I ...
