A few disappontments

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on Riviera

6-10 Cruises • Age 70s

Our first cruise with Oceania after enjoying cruises with Silver Seas, Holland America and Cunard. Food was generally excellent, but speciality restaurants need to be booked well in advance as large groups book in bulk. Buffet was certainly no better than our experiences with lower cost cruise lines. Recently refurbished balcony stateroom was very comfortable with a well designed and relatively ...

We sailed to Alaska on Oceania in 2013 and loved it. We haven't been able to book with Oceania again until this cruise and we were excited. We were especially anticipating the food because of our prior experience. Sadly, we were disappointed. First, the good: the rooms are roomy and beautiful. The bathroom was the best (by far) I've ever had on a ship or in many hotels. We had a great cabin ...

Lack of attention to detail

Our Cruise was disappointing at best. Let me first say that certain staff were excellent, our cabin staff, Tony, the bartender in Martinis, Barbara in Barista's, all great. . Others seemed undertrained. A server for breakfast service should know what a mimosa is. Tables should be cleared regularly, not when diners are standing around searching for a table. We usually just picked a dirty ...

We stayed in an Oceania Suite where we enjoyed the personal staff who cared for us and our suite. They were absolutely wonderful. In fact the entire crew was wonderful. They were always smiling, pleasant, professional and very eager to help. We did not receive our luggage from Lufthansa until the seventh day of the cruise. We greatly appreciated the efforts of Concierge staff for tracking this ...

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. We went with the penthouse suite which is very pretty but is technically just an over-sized ...

Pros: Amazing crew, who were attentive, friendly and professional. Less people so quick embarkation/disembarkation. Beautiful cabin: Marble bathroom with walk-in shower, very comfortable bed, luxury bath products, fridge filled with drinks, bottled water in stateroom, lots of entertainment on TV Our cabin steward was one of the best we've ever had. Cabin was spotless, 2x daily turn ...

Starting with the positives, the ship is very clean and refurbishment of rooms ,as expected. Specialty restaurants (howerver only 4 allowed for 10 day cruise) were excellent, as expected. Our Penthouse cabin was immaculate and well designed. Terrace restaurant buffet was best of all cruise ships traveled thus far. However, negatives far outweigh positives on this cruise, The tender service was ...

Overpriced and Underwhelmed

My friend and I are very experienced cruisers, but this was a first time with Oceania (and it will be the last time)! We did 2 back-to-back cruises and yes, the decor is beautiful, but too many problems to make it worthwhile. In no particular order, some of the issues we encountered were: 1. Officers/management invisible except for Captain's cocktail party. 2. Too many 'supervisors' ...

Food was a big disappointment

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 ...

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 ...
