Oceania Didn't Hit The Mark This Time

Review for a Pacific Coastal Cruise on Regatta

We are repeat customers of Oceania (fifth time for my wife, third for me) but first time on Regatta and first cruise post-pandemic. Compared to previous Oceania cruises, we found the food and service generally mediocre. Terrace Cafe items mostly bland (including two days of the most flavorless Mexican we've ever eaten) and at least once, the Grand Dining Room menu included many of the same items ...

My wife and I were on an Oceania Insignia Mediterranean cruise years ago. The food and overall experience was amazing!!! We have done Regent and RC cruises, but have been mainly using Holland America for cruises (love the Pinnacle class ships!) We wanted to do another Oceania cruise... mainly for the food. We were on The Regatta for the September 27 through October 4 cruise "California ...

Inconsistent service and quality of food

We wanted a close to home cruise line, meaning a short air flight, and a short cruise to test the quality of the food and service. I read many Oceania threads on Cruise Critic and appreciated being able to take our own wine on-board, good food, and what I interpreted to be a mature yet lively clientele. We wanted a nice cabin with a good bathroom. We loved our cabin. We had a dedicated butler ...

Have only been on larger ships from Celebrity and Royal Caribbean. Wanted to try a smaller ship. We were very happy with our 1st experience on Oceania/Regatta. Ground transportation from LAX to ship was effortless as was our return. The same for Embarkation/Disembarkation - very organized. We are not “foodies” and enjoyed all the restaurants including the 2 specialty restaurants. We recvd ...

We were curious about Oceania as we’d heard it was a cut above the regular cruise lines in terms of food and service but not crazy expensive. We have done many transatlantic cruises with another cruise line and were wondering if we oughtn’t to try a different line. This short cruise along the California coast would be a good test. We are neither cruise nor food snobs, we just like a quiet ...

Tips to know ahead of time

3 1/2 stars: This is a very very very long review. You might be reading this in a panic thinking, what did I do...I booked the Emerald and everyone is leaving horrific reviews. So I thought I'd write a review that might help people make the most of their vacation if they are already locked in at the 90 day mark. OK. It's not THAT bad. I had a great time knowing some things ahead of time. I ...

[First, I should mention that we are not alcohol drinkers, and therefore our commentary will not reflect at all on that particular aspect that is admittedly quite important for some readers to know about.] The crew was excellent beyond expectation whether we are speaking about cruise director Fer-r-r-nando, the instrumental musicians (special shout-out to the trumpeter), dancers, singers, ...

Small boat, worst buffet, overcrowded

2-5 Cruises • Age 40s

This was my third Princess cruise, and this boat should not have 4.5/5 stars. It’s really worn with marked up and beat up furniture, musty hallway carpet, and rusted railings. We had a mini suite and I felt transported to season 10 of the original Love Boat—in the 80s. The crew wasn’t as friendly as previous voyages, they all seemed exhausted. Many of the services I liked on previous ships ...

Wonderful California Coastal Cruise

There were 3 of us traveling...me (40's), daughter (12 1/2) and mom (70's). We chose this cruise because of the itinerary, which was CA coastal (with San Francisco overnight). My mom and I had sailed with Princess many times (8 for me and 25 for her), but had been primarily sailing Royal Caribbean recently. We initially booked a mini-suite, but had concerns of only having the tub/shower ...

We live in Southern California and got a great deal on a balcony room and booked this trip prior to my husbands unexpected quadruple bypass. We didn't cancel the cruise in hopes that my husband was well enough to go. It turns out 7 weeks post surgery we made it on the cruise, as my husband wanted to gain weight at the all you can eat buffets and fine dining's on this cruise and he did. First ...
