Disappointing Journey on the Amazon River

Review for a South America Cruise on Seven Seas Voyager

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary to the Amazon and because we had been on a fantastic cruise on the Regent Explorer last fall. There was no comparison between the 2 experiences and we brought another couple with us on the Voyager after telling them how great Regent is! The cabins & public spaces on the Voyager need to be completely redone but really I think Regent should just sell ...

It is hard to compared cruise companies, especially if the itineraries are quite different, but it seems that comparisons between SilverSeas and Regent Seven Seas makes sense. They are both considered Ultra Luxury. We have sailed several times on Silver Seas and have been quite happy. We chose Regent for this trip because of time and itinerary. Relative to SilverSeas, Regent was as or somewhat ...

This is the fourth time me and my family have been to a Costa Cruise and we had a different experience. Even though Costa Firenze is a brand new ship, entertainment was lacking when compared to my previous Favolosa and Fascinosa experience. Had a great experience with our schedule dinner, food was good and service was great - a special thank to Roy Samir and Dondde, who were kind and ...

Lack of the usual regent quality

10+ Cruises • Age 40s

We are a young 40s couple who likes good food and high end service. We aren’t avid cruisers, but we go on at least 1 cruise/yr in addition to private vacations with A&k and Kensington and have been on over 30+ cruises (Disney, regent, NCL, royal carribean, etc etc). On our first regent cruise, we knew we’d be younger than most of the passengers—we sailed in the carribbean on the splendor. We ...

First Oceania Cruise - Very Disappointed

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 ...

Nice ship, sad itinerary

I am a Sapphire level cruiser with NCL. I have enjoyed cruising with them for years. I chose this cruise because I was in Brazil at the time and the cruise departed from Rio de Janeiro. The ship was recently refurbished and was in excellent shape. It is a smaller, older ship, and has few whistles and bells. It was kept immaculately clean. The crew were phenomenal, always friends and caring, ...

When our (my wife and I) scheduled Crystal Cruise to SE Asia fell apart due to multiple schedule changes, and with 3 weeks suddenly open on our calendars, we opted at the last minute to schedule this Rio to Buenos Aires itinerary (as far away as possible from covid-19 issues). We literally booked on Sunday before a Wedn departure from Rio. We considered a Celebrity Buenos Aires roundtrip as well ...

Super luxurious . Fabulous food and staff. Really was the trip of a lifetime .. Highly recommend though we went for the splurge option by having a penthouse with butler service. We would definitely use Oceania again . The only negative of the entire cruise was the dull yoga class ! Otherwise great. Avoid the extremely overpriced excursions other than the lovely schooner trips. You can either ...

We were all waiting a large warehouse type building up to 6 hours to acess ship!! No explanation, no apologises. Then once on the ship, we were ordered to take part in the health and safety exercise, when most of us were exhausted and hungry. Organisation in disembarking for excursions, were chaotic & disorganised. An excursion to Rio was not included as part of the itinerary. Sorry, there was an ...
