Chose Oceania based on numerous recommendations most of which mentioned the "best food on the oceans". Well I can say that either Oceania has regressed significantly or those recommending it have very poor taste---I believe it is the former!!!It was not only the food that disappointed but practically the entire experience starting with:
1)I purchased a special 4 cabin upgrade promotion and ...
Chose this cruise as it was a beautiful suite, great itineraries and the service by the crew was very good. The food was awful. Specialty restaurants served cold entrees, the steak restaurant (polo grill) was out of their featured prime rib, and things like the lumped crab meat was actually minced out of a can! In speaking to other guests heard numerous stories about sending back food as it was ...
Been on Oceania before. Like the ads say, it's all about the food.
The food was wonderful with the exception of Polo Grill. Service was very slow and two of the 4 steaks served were almost raw. Because it was nearly 10:00 by the time we were served, it was just too late to send them back. Similar experience first night on board in the main dinning room. Just not enough people to serve all the ...
We chose an Oceania cruise to celebrate our 20th anniversary and our first trip to the Mediterranean because we loved the itinerary and felt it would be a great way to experience the area. We spent a couple of days in Venice before the cruise and one day in Barcelona after which was a lot of fun! Full disclosure, I started feeling bad on the disembarkation day and subsequently tested positive for ...
Having cruised with Oceania on a few occasions prior to covid they were 1st class, our latest cruise post covid on Riviera Rome to Trieste April 7 - 14 was certainly not up to the standard we had previously experienced. It would appear that costs are are more concerning to the company than guest experience. Food was good but arrived cool, the Grand Dining room food was obviously kept under heat ...
Embarkation for us was easy, not so for my sister they had no record of her. Took ages to sort it out when onboard she had the same problem and then the next day !
We have been on the R class ships a few times and have to say we prefered the size and space of the Riviera. The cabins were a little more spacious and the bathrooms a massive improvement, we found there was plenty of storage and ...
Oceania knew in advance that the seas were rough around Bermuda and the ship would not be going there. Instead of three days in Bermuda, Oceania substitute a day at sea, a day at its Great Stirrup Island, and a day in Jacksonville.
When the ship arrived at Great Stirrup Cay, we were told the sea was too rough to run tenders. We were then directed by Marine Ops to got to Jacksonville for two ...
We chose this cruise because some of my 93 year old mothers friends were going on it.and she wanted to join them. Being that she is elderly we thought someone from the family should also go with in case there were any issues. It ended up with others joining my mother. Three siblings and a son -in-law joined in.
When we checked in at the port in Miami they told us that we would not be going to ...
This was our first Oceania Cruise, and we chose it because of one destination - Bermuda. When we arrived at the port in Miami, we were told that we were not going to Bermuda due to high seas and strong currents. Since we had been to the other ports on the itinerary, we were disappointed, but what can you do? After a stop in Nassau (which was not worth even getting off the ship), we set sail for ...
I had sailed Oceania before, but several years ago.
This itinerary caught my fancy and I remembered how wonderful was my first time with them...the Mediterranean.
Our itinerary was totally upset by weather it seems and we had to skip Bermuda where we were to spend three days...the real reason for this trip. Then they did try to substitute an out island visit but the seas were too rough for ...
