A very nice cruise with a few glitches
"Oceania is not known for its entertainment but what we saw was good if a bit tired (some shows were repeated from our Bermuda cruise a year ago), This was frustrating as the entertainers were very talented and it seems they could have excelled with better material.This was our second Oceania cruise and our previous experience on a seven-day New York to Bermuda cruise on the Insignia had prepared us for what we viewed as the line's strengths and weaknesses...."Read More

We ate long time cruisers with Oceania but now a lost customer! We booked this cruise in 2019 for 2020 travel dates. Alas pandemic curtailed those plans until this year. We in fact booked a 30 day cruise Barcelona to Dubai - never being informed that it was 2 back to back cruises - first issue as this was the start of lack of communication and guest satisfaction, We were advised of ...

We used O's Extraordinary Savings Sale to get our B3 cabin for a mere $1749 PP plus $300 OBC PP (which paid our gratuities). So, the price alone made this trip worth it. BUT we travel for itineraries and this one did it for us. We only had the 1 sea day, which I do not enjoy that much, but we had Athens, Kavala, Istanbul, Messina, Naples, Rome, La Spezia (changed due to weather from Livorno), ...

This was our ninth cruise with Oceania. We started on Riviera and were totally thrilled. Coming over from Cunard Queens Grill as the Oceania way of doing things suited us better. That first cruise was a 10/10 for us, and we’ve been committed ever since. The small changes that have been made are never to enhance the passenger experience. The food has slipped. Not always, but not as refined, not ...

After Five Oceania Cruises...Never Again

We were spoiled by our prior cruises and very disappointed with our recent cruise and the sell, sell, sell underhanded charging for services. A few examples. I booked a $199 spa treatment and I had a $50 coupon. I expected a $149 bill with optional tip, but the final bill was $247 plus optional tip because they added service and other charges not discussed with me. Next, Oceania cancelled one ...

We sailed to Alaska on Oceania in 2013 and loved it. We haven't been able to book with Oceania again until this cruise and we were excited. We were especially anticipating the food because of our prior experience. Sadly, we were disappointed. First, the good: the rooms are roomy and beautiful. The bathroom was the best (by far) I've ever had on a ship or in many hotels. We had a great cabin ...

Best Cruise Ever on the Riviera

Having sailed on 50 cruises or more, this was the best cruise we have ever had. Everything about the ship, food, service, and cabins were first rate. Riviera is completely refurbished and looks spectacular in all areas. She is a beautiful ship inside and out. With about 1200 passengers, Riviera is large enough to give you plenty of dining options and public areas and yet small enough to ...

We chose the cruise due to the marketing around the quality of the food and the emphasis on service. Whilst the food was, in the main adequate to good, it was not the best cuisine. Also, I had the lobster in the Polo Grill and it was inedible ! We had prepaid excursions however, when we got on board, this was disputed by Reception, as was the fact that our package included gratuities. We had ...

My friend and I are very experienced cruisers, but this was a first time with Oceania (and it will be the last time)! We did 2 back-to-back cruises and yes, the decor is beautiful, but too many problems to make it worthwhile. In no particular order, some of the issues we encountered were: 1. Officers/management invisible except for Captain's cocktail party. 2. Too many 'supervisors' ...
