A Luxury Cruise Line That Is Not As Good As Most Premium Cruise Lines

Review for a World Cruise Cruise on Insignia

We had not cruised for several years (pandemic and health issues) and were really excited to try a luxury cruise line. All of our previous 20 or so cruises have been with Premium cruise lines. We should have tried a short Oceania cruise before committing to a World Cruise so the fact that we were so disappointed was our fault entirely. On the positive side, the ship size was perfect. We were able ...

Please remember that this is only one person’s opinion and may not reflect your view or the opinions of others. I will be providing a grade for each of the ship’s various services along with an explanation of ...

We booked this cruise for 2021 and it was cancelled, so we rebooked for 2022. A couple of weeks before sailing I found a review on this site from a couple who sailed in July in the very same cabin we had reserved (8023). I must admit I was rather concerned when I read their litany of complaints:- Dirty, wear and tear, aged, A/C not good, shower not good etc. However the cabin was a total contrast ...

Oceania worst cruise ever! Oceania should stop sending expensive brochures and spend the money on better quality food and staffing ! it was terribly under staffed! Not enough servers in dining areas or lounges. Food , including desserts, were awful! We never saw or heard from the Captain. He never addressed the passengers , through turbulent waters. Our ship was rocking and ...

We chose this 1--day cruise to see the leaves changing along the north Atlantic coast from New York to Canada. This is our fourth cruise with Oceania, but it has been a decade since our first three. ITINERARY: While the sites were beautiful, 4 of the 9 ports of call left us wondering why the ship stopped in those ports as there was little to nothing to see that one could not see from the ...

We didn't choose this cruise so much as we were forced into it. Back Story: In 2020, we booked Oceania's Scandinavian Baltic cruise. And then COVID-19. We were "assured" that if cruise would be canceled again, we would receive a a refund. Lie Number 1. As COVID-19 began to ease, we sailed on both Celebrity and Viking waiting for Oceania to re-open. Final Straw, we were booked on the August ...

Liked itinerary and had sailed with Oceania before. Time in Bermuda was cut short. Entertainment was sad. Ocenia has changed since it sold out to big cruise line. I would not travel with them again. I felt like Ocenia nickled and dimed you every time they could. As a fellow cruise guess said: "They have already added a tip to everything and charged you for a Drink ...

We chose to go on the Insignia because it was our 4th cruise with Oceania which we enjoyed. Location, we live 10 minutes by car from the dock. The cruise line is not what it once was. The crew as usual was very accommodating, but it was obvious that they are very short staffed. One evening in the dining room we were seated and 10 minutes after us 3 tables were seated and ordered there ...

This was our first time on Oceania. We love Bermuda and enjoy smaller ships when they are available. I was so excited to again return to Hamilton and St. George as opposed to the Dockyard. The ship was very nice. The staff all around the ship couldn't be more pleasant, helpful and generally a pleasure to be around. Food in the Grand Dining Room and the buffet was excellent as was the ...

My wife and I chose Oceania Insignia since it was the only ship small enough to dock right in Hamilton and in St George instead of the traditional large ship port of the Royal Naval Dockyard. We also chose Oceania because of the cruise line's reputation as a first-class upscale boutique type of cruise line since we are big fans and repeat cruisers with Celebrity. We were very disappointed from ...
