Review for a South America Cruise on Regatta

We chose this cruise for its itinerary. But it turned out to be disaster. Ship came back from Ushuaia and Machu Pichu infected with GI problems and influenza. Passengers were quarantined in their cabins and ship was supposingly being fully disinfected. Embarkation was delayed due to disinfecting procedures.
All crew was working 2 extra hours a day to clean the ship. Unfortunately the cleaning ...

We've cruised many different lines and this was the absolute worse experience. Staff were unfriendly and had difficulty understanding English. The food was good but not the culinary experience we were expecting. We were under a "code red" during our first week and we couldn't do anything for ourselves including using salt and pepper on the table. Wine stewards and servers took forever to come ...

We picked Oceania because friends had commented that its food was among the best of all cruise lines. That wasn't our experience, especially compared with Silver Seas.
When the ship set sail from Lima, it was already loaded with sick crew and a few sick passengers. Code Red, Level 2 CDC precautions were in place. Some public areas were closed but others weren't and that made no sense. Why ...

This was our first cruise with Oceania. We chose this cruise because of the wonderful itinerary. We arrived a week early to tour Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and, of course, Machu Picchu. all of this part of the trip was wonderful.
Embarkation: Not at all optimal. The process of getting on the ship was quick and easy. From there the experience went downhill. Upon getting on the ship we were ...

This was our first cruise with Oceania, and will almost certainly be our last. We were unfortunate enough to board at a time when gastrointestinal disease had taken hold on the ship. This can happen on any ship, but the way that Oceania handled, or rather mishandled, this and the level of outright dishonesty was shocking. We were boarding in Lima, Peru and received an email even before we left ...

We boarded the Regatta in Lima for a 33 night cruise to Rio de Janeiro.
I was lucky to have had the chance to use the Launderette during the first few days before it was closed for the rest of the cruise due to a GI outbreak. On the cruise Lima to Buenos Aries (BA), a bundled laundry service was offered at just $12.50 for 20 items, however, this increased to $24.95 from BA to Rio. Why!? ...

The cruise with Oceania from Lima to Buenos Aires showed what an array of overprices and rip-offs they could envision. As a single traveller, I had to pay the same amount as two people thereby paying double for all my meals - assuming they consider their food to be as exceptional as they advertise (not what I would say), this is an unethical, dishonest charge of $2000 or more. Their hotel ...

We also had the misfortune to be on the Regatta for 21days from Lima to Buenos Aires. I totally agree with burdock's review but doubt that I will be as kind and forgiving to Oceania and how this GI outbreak was handled.
First...we were never informed that the "problem" had been identified and was indeed the Norovirus...it was always named a generic " G.I. distress ". The first few days out ...

We embarked on the 7th February 2016 at Lima and to begin with it was the old Regatta that we have been used to, superb service, food, wines entertainment home from home.
On day three, very unexpectedly and not the fault of the cruise line, a gastrointestinal infection had been brought onto the ship, we believe from a tourist who had visited Machu Picchu. From then on the service, food and ...

My wife has always wanted to experience Macho Pico and the cruise sounded unusual, the cruise line was highly rated so we booked.
The Macho Pico add-on was a huge rip off. Due to the altitude, I couldn't go so she went single. Cost was $3,500 for a three hour tour. Yes, $3,500. Plus, I wanted to fly with her so I had to pay $175. for "changed" itinerary. Plus three nights in a hotel. Oh, ...
