We are avid travellers and have been on numerous cruises including many with Oceania.
Here's an overview of our most recent cruise with Oceania on the ship Regatta.
The food is very good when it comes to your table hot. There were a few times in the dining room when the food was luke warm and we were served food on plates and bowls that were chipped or damaged. The buffet food is hit or ...
My husband and I sailed on what we call "the cruise to nowhere", being the 19 March 2024 Brilliance of the Seas "11 day "cruise to the South Pacific from Sydney, Australia
The cruise was meant to head to Lifou, Noumea, Mystery Island, Port Vila and Luganville for 11 days. In the end we only (just) got to Lifou - the other ports were cancelled and the cruise was cut short from 11 days to 8 days ...
Overall: This was somewhat disappointing cruise that did not live up to the hype.
Embarkation: A breeze. Easiest boarding ever. No lines, knowledgeable people.
Cabin: We had a B-1 veranda stateroom. The room itself was fine. Flat screen TV, although not much to watch. (You could watch “Titanic” if ship disaster movies are your thing.) Adequate underbed storage for our soft-sided ...
There were several ups and downs. Ours was not a luxury experience.
We were not on the transfer list for the prepaid ride from the airport to the hotel. Took a taxi and had to hagle with ship crew to get reimbursed.
The hotel, Tahiti Pearl, was in a beautiful spot but I would put it on par with a Best Western with a view
Embarkation was the worst I have ever experinced. We waited in ...
We’ve cruised on this ship before from HK to Singapore a few years ago and had an excellent holiday.
We can’t believe how poor the bar service was on this trip. Same in the dining room lack of bodies. I was left a feedback form from the Hotel Director Vlado, in fact completed two but no response so herein lies the problem. One day I counted 9 people awaiting service by the pool bar with one ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary. We are experienced Princess customers with 10 cruises.
They claim to have the best dining. We found the dining very good but behind in quality from our experience with Princess.
We never received a post cruise survey email.
Excursion deployment was managed poorly. Excursion employees struggled with correct English and talked on PA system too ...
We selected this cruise because of the itinerary and wanted to see the South Pacific!
Three ports visited on a Sunday! NOTHING OPEN! Except a McDonalds in one port. Papeete was a two day stop and was closed for a national holiday Veterans Day. The excitement was watching the re-provisioning of the ship. Another port and a canceled port we cruised around the destination and looked at it from ...
The main draw for booking this cruise was the itinerary which cruised one way from Honolulu to Tahiti, New Zealand and Australia over our 20th anniversary. Having sailed twice on Celebrity since cruising restarted it is the cruise line my husband and I are most familiar with at this time. Everything went as planned with no problems or disruptions and the weather was fantastic. Overall it was an ...
We originally chose this cruise in 2019, booked, paid and all, and then the pandemic came and all was cancelled. We took the offered future credit incentive. Back then no-one knew what would happen. Being from New Zealand we also faced government obstruction and closed airline travel, but now finally we were able to re-book this cruise. Despite initial reluctance from NCL to finally honour the ...
We went on a group holiday & boarded this ship in Auckland, New Zealand.
Just the right size of ship for me as no sense of direction, so did not take me to long to sort of get my bearings.
Great meals, although I think they need a lesson in cooking broccoli. There is al dente & there is al dente (just seen a pan of hot water & not dipped it’s head in it).
Our room was 11*** & our friends ...
