Marina Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Great ship. The state room and bathroom was larger than other lines of the same caliber. The food was above average. I liked that we were not pressured to upgrade or buy anything on the ship.

Husavik cancel for Akureyri; Eskifjordur cancel too rough; Dublin cancel due to waves tough to tender

My best friend wanted to take his 84-year-old mother on her dream cruise. This was it. She had a fabulous time and loved every single minute. Definitely the trip of a lifetime for her and likely the trip of a lifetime for me as I will never be able to afford a cruise like this ever again 😅

The ship was gorgeous and the room was spacious and well appointed. The food was very good with a few misses here and there. Ample activities and entertainment. Shore excursions were mostly disappointing for the cost.

This was our first transatlantic crossing. Since we missed Bermuda due to weather, we ended up with 6 straight sea days - a bit much. But the 2nd half of the trip was fantastic with fantastic ports. We stayed in Barcelona a few extra days and then took a train to Paris for a few more. So a wonderful trip overall. We were lucky to have good weather throughout.

Our first and last with Oceania. They are a fallen brand. No longer a luxury cruise line. As with other reviewers here, we will never EVER cruise Oceania again. They at best mislead us about what they deliver and at worst, flat out lied. They are disorganized beyond belief. Food is awful nursing home quality. No greasy spoon at home would survive with such awful food. Ship is literally rusting. It should be scrapped. A passenger who has sailed on Marina before had mentioned that the paintings on the ship are worth more than the ship itself. I can see why.

Treated like animal herded together in the port .pre boarding . 200 passengers dumped in a car park for 3 hours from midday to 3pm . No water, no food , no shade and no toilets ! I got badly burnt Staff treat customers as an inconvenience ! Staring from the General Manager . A rude man with a bad attitude WiFi never worked. Not in touch with family for days .worse still over Xmas Captain airlifted from ship as very ill. We were never informed officially . Staff told us! Ship tired . Cruise Director and egotistical boring man .

My sister and I took the Oceania cruise from Iceland to London in late august 2023. On the last day in Iceland, my sister and I went on an Oceania sponsored expedition to ride Icelandic ponies. My sister fell while getting on her pony and was severely injured with a brain bleed and a shattered elbow which required imminent surgery. I was put in the position to fly her home with absolutely no assistance from the cruise ship or port agent. The tour operators helped me as much as they could including staying with us at the Icelandic hospital while x-rays were taken and to help get us transportation to a hotel near the regional airport. Since this was our last stop in Iceland, we had to get our belongings and passports off the ship which happened but they charged me $100 in cash to get our things. I then had to get my sister who was on pain pills and in a wheel chair from the reginal airport to the international airport in Reykjavik with two 50 pound bags and four carry-ons with no assistance from anyone. I took her to Oregon where she lives for immediate surgery. When I landed in Portland with her, I started trying to call Oceania to help get me home to Charlotte and talk to someone about what happened. After many, many calls and very long wait times, I finally got a flight home but they told me any further communication would have to be done by email to Guest relations. The first and only person who reached out to me was the travel insurance people to open a claim which four months later has still not been paid. After at least 20 written communications with guest relations, which they insisted on, they took no responsibility and claimed I was contacted by several people while still in Iceland which I disproved through phone records and still no action was taken. They said "sorry for the "inconvenience" and please sail with us again". I was an d still am outraged and my sister will have a permanent disability and they don't care, Their guest relations is a joke. I even sent the information and my proof of no help or communication to their CEO in Miami and still no response. Don't believe Oceania will take care of you became they won't. Take caution if you ever decide to sail with them.

Casino small, would have liked more choice of entertainment

The cruise was great. The meat at the Pollo Grill could use some aging or better cuts. It was too tough. A little more variety at the regular eating places. If you are there for more than a week, you get the same menus. Entertainment was fabulous. The Italian tenor was spectacular and Samantha Ivey was so good. Enjoyed the dancers/ singers. Great talent. Comedian was very good.

Disappointing as my husband got covid on the ship and was confined to our cabin for four days. The medical bill for this was $1458, for one visit to the doctors, tablets, test and an injection which all took less than 45 minutes.

On the whole the food was good. There is plenty of space to sit and while away an hour or so. The library is nice

Fantastic ship and cruise - will be traveling again on Marina

I had a wonderful time, met amazing people (passengers and crew); it was a fun experience. Because this is a small ship, quickly it became a small community where conversations began easily over tea or dinner at one of the many dinner options. I returned disappointed with the Easter Island experience. On the arrival day, disembarkation was delayed for several hours, staff did not provide any information on how the delay affected scheduled excursions, so confusion and claims of discrimination were voiced related to the staff attitude. The excursions on Easter Island arranged by Marina are not recommended; they are too expensive and guides are not knowledgeable. Passengers who arranged their own excursions had the best time with experts from the island.

The French Polynesia is the most amazing place to visit; people were friendly and eager to share about their island. Nature is breath taking everywhere I went. I will love to go back again.

Unfortunately, there was a virus floating around the ship and was passed around by passengers/crew. I became sick just when we departed the French Polynesia, sore throat, cough and congestion. I spent 2 days in my cabin with sore throat, cough and fever. I have been home a few days and I am still having symptoms from the virus.
