Oceania Cruises – Cashback, Rebates & Rewards

We have been on two Oceania cruises; Vista June 2023 & Riviera June 2024 in the mediterranean. Having cruised on NCL, Princess, Canvival (once), Celebrity, RCL (Diamond member) & Oceania, Oceania is our favorite cruise line! It does have the Best food at sea! My husband and I cannot undersand why Oceania has low ratings on this site. As they say, some of the time you can please all of the people, and all people of the people can be pleased some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time.

The Oceania employees were wonderful. We found that the meat in all dining venues was either overcooked, undercooked, unevenly cooked or dry. Twice my rare steak came out well done, my veal chop was overcooked on one end and raw on the other. Maine lobster tasteless. Cheese Gnocchi in Tuscan were gooey and shapeless. Husband served lasagne from the Terrace for an appetizer instead of 7 layer lasagne as advertised. Overall food in Terrace grill and Waves was very good but not so much in Polo and main dining room entrees.

Every passenegrs needs seem to be met with the utmost courtesy, respect and kindness. I was especially impressed by the gesture to Jewish passengers to have an opportunity to hold a Friday night Sabbath blessing, prayers and service in the library at 6.30pm. Prayer books were provided, automatic candles, wineglasses, Kosher Kiddush wine, red and white, and best of all three fabulously homemade, fresh challahs baked by the chef. G-d bless him - what a fine gesture. Better than at home! It is these small details that mean such a lot and make the cruise experience one of the finest in the world. Thank you for the best twelve days ever! Delicious food, incredible coffee by your fine baristas (we are from Sydney, Australia and know about good coffee) and the most immaculate room service/cleaning by ever smiling, obliging Anna. Di and Steve Alperstein (Room 4018)

WOW! I saw so many negative reviews! But looking more into the content, many are not relevant to Oceania; the complaints about "overbooked flights" relate to airlines, not Oceania. The complaints about tiny showers by obese people, well, did you have to book two seats on your flight? Do you really think that you can arrive by air and go straight to your ship? NOOO. we always arrive a day or two before embarkation to ensure we're OK to go. The list goes on and on. We've cruised on Oceania five times (Holland America and Virgin cruises before this) and have had no bad experience, BUT when we missed ports for any reason, we were given future cruise credits without question. Food? Bloody good and if it wasn't, send it back for a redo. Looking forward to our next cruise! Here's a heads up; we only EVER deal with our Oceania rep (Tia, you're wonderful) and have NEVER had any problems!

Wir waren auf dem Schiff Marina im Januar/ Februar 24. Ein super Schiff mit ausgezeichneter Küche und Service. Es sind hauptsächlich Gäste aus der USA und Kanada hier. Aber auch aus Europa. Das Alter ist im oberen Bereich. Die negativen Punkte waren die sehr teuren und nicht immer bestens organisiert Landausflüge. Inkl. das bescheidene Internet. Auch die Gäste die weit voraus gebucht hatten waren im Nachteil mit den Preise welche jetzt verlangt wurden. Neu ist fast alles inkludiert und wir mussten es bezahlen.
