The Good The Bad And Why
"We chose this cruise as we always do based on the excursions but in this case, my husband contracted COVID on the ship so this review will address the first few days of our trip pre-sickness, their COVID protocol and what benefits we were able to receive from this very expensive (around 30 grand) trip.My husband got sick the morning of day 4 and medical care is horrifically expensive (just short of 5 grand - for which they get written preapproval) but really, really good...."Read More

Mediocrity at a huge price

Review for a Asia Cruise on Riviera

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

While the staff and service was excellent, the very expensive excursions were mediocre at best. Staff was very attentive and pleasant. Considering the price of the cruise itself, $800 for a drink package is outrageous. While the food in the specialty restaurants was excellent, the food in the main restaurant was mediocre as well. Difficult to make reservations in specialty restaurants. Buffet was ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 20s

Oceania - March 17-April 1 - Sailing around Japan, including 3 days pre cruise in Tokyo This was our first Oceania cruise. We are Elite on Celebrity and have also sailed Princess, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian. We were never asked by Oceania to rate the trip, something that has never happened on our many cruises. Our review follows: We traveled as a group of about 25 people mainly from ...

Dismayed and disgruntled
First Time Cruiser • Age 80s

Our cruise experience, including our pre-cruise three night stay in Tokyo, was a mixed bag at best. Starting with the "transfer" from Narita airport to our hotel: this was a disorganized, chaotic mess. Our greeters at the airport kept us waiting for hours before finally leading us on a long walk with baggage to the bus. The Hilton Tokyo was a very good hotel with an excellent buffet breakfast but ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

Experienced cruisers for 30 years. Mostly Viking fans, but our friends said "Try Oceania for the great food". Food was below Viking standards and marginal. Ordered three steaks from three restaurants on three separate evenings, all tough and flavorless. Grand dining room is a cluster- waited 90 minutes for breakfast to arrive, good thing we had no excursions scheduled that day. Service was ...

We especially chose this cruise ship because of its large cabin and bathroom and the "best cruise for cuisine". We have been on a lot of Azamara and Regent cruises and thought we should try this new experience. It started badly as we were sent to the wrong terminal in Bangkok. We got on board and were very pleased with our cabin (A1). The attendant Gede and his assistant Mark were excellent. ...

Pros: Specialty restaurants had great food and service Entertainment and variety excellent Art courses terrific teachers and classes Cons: they cancelled 7 ports with no refunds of loss port, port fees, VISA fees etc. Terrible we have done over 70 cruises and plan on doing many more but will never use them again. Their policy has changed and any cruise line we have taken has ...

Not worth the money

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We selected this cruise as it called at ports we wanted to visit particularly Oman. Sadly, the war put an end to 4 out of 8 ports of call. Whilst we appreciate this was unfortunate & understood, we were not offered any acceptable alternatives as we had paid for business class flights to Dubai so cancelling was not an option. Also, if you cancelled you lost 25% of the amount paid & the remaining ...

We're seasoned cruisers with over 30 cruises on most of the major cruiselines but not Oceania. We went on 3 Oceania Riviera cruises in 2023, Sep/Oct from Amsterdam to Barcelona and then back to back cruises in Nov/Dec from Barcelona to Istanbul and then Istanbul to Dubai. My review is on all 3 cruises on the same ship. We booked the Holyland & Middle East cruise the first day it was available ...

This was our ninth cruise with Oceania. We started on Riviera and were totally thrilled. Coming over from Cunard Queens Grill as the Oceania way of doing things suited us better. That first cruise was a 10/10 for us, and we’ve been committed ever since. The small changes that have been made are never to enhance the passenger experience. The food has slipped. Not always, but not as refined, not ...

After Five Oceania Cruises...Never Again

We were spoiled by our prior cruises and very disappointed with our recent cruise and the sell, sell, sell underhanded charging for services. A few examples. I booked a $199 spa treatment and I had a $50 coupon. I expected a $149 bill with optional tip, but the final bill was $247 plus optional tip because they added service and other charges not discussed with me. Next, Oceania cancelled one ...
