A little disappointed

After more than 5 cruises we find that it has changed.It claims the best cuisine at sea but now fails to deliver.The crew are different ,many many more Indians and many fewer Phillippinos whose energy and enthusiasm was badly missed.Firstly the buffet repetitive and lacking any imagination ,the speciality restaurants just bland and tasteless .Throughout the ship the starters lacked any

It was my first time on Oceania and I was totally disappointed. We completed a mid-cruise review and we shared our concerns then as well. They attempted to fix the problems, but the staff attitude and responses were never addressed.1. Considering the ship was just refurbished late 2022, we were surprised to see how badly maintained the shower floor tiles were. It looked dirty and grimy but

Checking in at Singapore port was a mess and unorganized. Tables at buffet dining room were so closed to each other, people could trip easily by kicking into chair or table legs. Food was so so. The first evening at buffet dining room, my steak was tough, very salty and had freezer taste.Specialty dining rooms were disappointment except the Red Ginger. We were at Grand restaurant for dinner

...

Negative points:1. The tours were exhorbitantly expensive for what was given. For example, our tour of Kuala Lampur included a 2 hour stop at a shopping mall which was a waste of time. The Tour descriptions were not accurate and deceitful. For example, our tour of AbuDhabi stated that we would "delve" into the famous mosque and we did not even set a foot inside the mosque. We travelled

The seventh time on board of Oceania with worsen experience by the cruise to crown this one the worst ! The observation and experience were encountered top down from management to staff, which was no longer worth the tolerance of giving one more try , giving one more benefit of the doubt. In a nutshell:> Poor organization on check-in (Concierge level completely lost its priority privilege) at

Did.nt expect lousy service in the dining room in the first three days, until i talked with the dining room manager, then everything changed. Did not like the food in the dining room. The lasagna in the dining room and in the "toscana room was terrible. The polo grill was okay. Room service and room stewards were fantastic. Breakfast menu in the dining room was great. This cruise is definitely not

We loved all the ports and the excursions. The ship was docked in hong kong in the center of the city. We could waych the star ferry and the laser light show from our balcony.riveria has been updated and the suite was beautiful,the personnel was so friendly with excellent service,and the food amazing. We ate in all the restaurants,the grand dining room,and the terrace cafe. The barrista bar is so

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

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

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
