Abandoned by Oceania
"In addition we received a revised time for our Oceania arranged BA flight from Heathrow to Istanbul which knocked off three and a half hours from the transit time from Istanbul Airport to Istanbul Cruise Terminal but we were re-assured by the fact that this revised time had come through Oceania's flight arrangements department so it must be ok.By this time Oceania had caught up with the situation and booked us an overnight B&B Hotel in Thessaloniki and ordered us a taxi to the Portside for day three of the cruise...."Read More

Review for a Asia Cruise on Riviera

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s
We chose this, our first Oceania cruise, because we wanted the itinerary, the smaller ship, and the advertised educational talks. The advertised 'best food on the ocean' was a perk, but was not necessary for us. This is what happened:
Oceania didn’t provide nearly enough excursions. A whole busload of us, through our Roll Call, finally booked excursions with the only company we could get 3 ...

In my opinion: Avoid this cruise and Oceania for the following reasons: 1) horrible crowd management - 2 hour lines shoulder to shoulder for onboard immigration process; 2) bad excursion experience overall - booked, some bad guides, insufficient coverage of areas, problem with availability, 3) some excellent and some very rude and inexperienced staff. In my opinion there are much better ...

DNot a fan of mediocrity
First Time Cruiser • Age 70s
While the staff and service was excellent, the very expensive excursions were mediocre at best. Staff was very attentive and pleasant. Considering the price of the cruise itself, $800 for a drink package is outrageous. While the food in the specialty restaurants was excellent, the food in the main restaurant was mediocre as well. Difficult to make reservations in specialty restaurants. Buffet was ...

Wonderful cruise around Japan on Riviera. The redone ship is beautiful. The redone cabin and bathroom are top notch with tons of storage! I had empty drawers in both my room and in the bathroom. The new shower is far superior to the old bathtub. The food was overall excellent as was the service. The destination team had their act together on this one with enough staff to handle guests. They ...

Dismayed and disgruntled
First Time Cruiser • Age 80s
Our cruise experience, including our pre-cruise three night stay in Tokyo, was a mixed bag at best. Starting with the "transfer" from Narita airport to our hotel: this was a disorganized, chaotic mess. Our greeters at the airport kept us waiting for hours before finally leading us on a long walk with baggage to the bus. The Hilton Tokyo was a very good hotel with an excellent buffet breakfast but ...

This was not our first cruise with Oceania and after a fantastic experience in Tahiti, we couldn't wait to go back. This experience however, was quite different.
Our stateroom (A4), public spaces, etc., were lovely and comfortable, and the specialty restaurants were very good. The buffet and the Grand Dining Room however, went downhill compared to the previous cruise,
Where Oceania let us ...

Oceania - March 17-April 1 - Sailing around Japan, including 3 days pre cruise in Tokyo
This was our first Oceania cruise. We are Elite on Celebrity and have also sailed Princess, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian. We were never asked by Oceania to rate the trip, something that has never happened on our many cruises. Our review follows:
We traveled as a group of about 25 people mainly from ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 80s
In total, we have cruised @. 40 times to most corners of the world.
This was our second time with Oceania..... and our last.
We booked directly and our only contact was with the cruise consultant who took the booking. Any questions, and there were several regarding air, guest services etc were directed to him, but he could only pass the questions up the chain.
We paid the fee ( higher ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s
1) Food was good, not great
2) Shore excursion guides were not always proficient in English
3) Hired non-Oceania guide for Kyoto (from GetYourGuide) and had wonderful experience
4) Excursion to view Mt Fuji was a wasted day - coming into the port in the AM provided the best view and photo ops from the ship’s deck - excursion took us to the far side of the bay (much further away) or a ...
