"Putting the medical centre experience aside, the senior crew members on Oceania Riviera did not seem to be as well focussed on customer relations relative to our experiences with other cruise lines e.Three days from the end of the 21 days cruise, I visited the Riviera's medical centre with a persistent but not particularly troublesome cough: the purpose of the vist was to ensure that I was not contagious to other passengers...."Read More

We just returned from 10 days on the Riviera, and we had an amazing time! This was our second cruise with Oceania, having sailed on the Marina last year. We found every member of the crew to be so friendly, helpful, and professional. We were always greeted with a smile. My husband and I definitely felt spoiled by exceptional service from everyone we encountered, from our cabin steward to wait ...

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 ...

Read reviews and think thrice before booking an Oceania cruise. We booked the Goddesses to Gondolas cruise because of the pleasurable experience we previously had on (pre-Covid) Oceania, and we wanted to try out the newly-refurbished Riviera. We booked this cruise more than a year before the sailing because we were told by our travel agent that these cruises sell out fast. If we had the ...

We choose this cruise go to different areas than we normally cruise. We wenton several excursions. They were very pricy and just ok. The room was wonderful. The food at the specality restaurants was not good . The steaks were grey in color and had a bad taste. The same for the lobster. So we ended up eating the rest of the trip in the buffet. It was alot more limited than any cruise i have been ...

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 is our cruise line of choice. Always top class dining , service, and Penthouse Suite cabins. The Red Ginger and Toscana restaurants are our favourites , but all restaurants are great and great value they are included in the pricing. I like their “ menu pricing” construct as extras can be selected by choice. The drinks package is good value . Service is unobtrusively good and we love the ...

We chose this cruise to compare to Azamara Club Cruises, another 6-star line. But Azamara wins hands down for the quality of its staff, staff training, cleanliness on the ship, quality of food, etc. Riviera’s design is that it’s cafe is on Deck 14, which looks out onto the pool deck, crescent-shaped, so quite small, whereas the library next door is huge by comparison. The night’s entertainment ...

This was our 8th Cruise on Oceania. We sailed May 17, 2018 from Rome to Venice on an 8 day cruise. We've always felt in the past sailing on Oceania was worth the extra cost over some of the mainstream cruiselines. However, changes that Oceania made on this cruise different from other European cruises in the past on the Riveria makes me question which cruise line I will use in the future. The ...
