Review summary

This was our 3rd Oceania cruise--what happened to this once wonderful cruise line? Excursions were not as described: 2 hours shorter than stated; one excursion served food that was QUICKLY COVERED by flies!!! Free internet was a total joke. One was fortunate to get online 15 minutes during a 24 hour period. Food & food staff, as always, was absolutely wonderful. But otherwise---not such a great value per dollar! Consider carefully when choosing this cruise line!!

Yes sold along with Regent to Norwegian and lots of people say the service and type of staff had gone down.

I wish I had known they had been bought and sold before booking my upcoming cruise. I heard they were part of Norwegian and that everything has been downgraded. I am hoping it's not true, but from what you say, I have lowered my expectations. Thanks for sharing.
