Oceana Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Southampton, day at sea which was nice, watched football in Winners Bar. New Years Eve in Hamburg, fantastic fireworks displays from the locals, Oceana sounded her horn, meal in the restaurant was amazing. Day at sea (horrible due to weather, stayed in the cabin as i was very poorly) Zeebrugge was OK (its a port not a lot to see) back to Southampton. Lovely mini break

Only a short cruise for the family to test out cruising.. Perfect and lovely for them and the ship all decorated for Christmas was lovely

Beautiful ship we were upgraded and had an ocean view at the forward of the ship last in the corridor so no passing traffic. Show team put on an excellent queen show and had a fab Christmas meal in the MDR

Cruise was great, lovely staff, great Captain (Robert Camby). 5 stars for our favourite ship.

Lovely ship all you need at hand . We had to wait for lifts always missing our floor especially as I needed the wheelchair lift some times occupied by able people . List of toilets not working usually only 1 worked in a toilet bay if 3 . Not overall a fab cruise .

On Sunday morning a coach was to collect myself and my wife from Edinburgh to join Oceana in Southampton, the coach could not take my wheelchair and we had to sit in the cold for 90 minutes. We then had to make the journey in a Taxi that could not allow me to travel in my wheelchair causing a great deal of difficulties and a lot of pain. P &O say it is the coach company at fault and I agree but the responsibility remains with P&O as it was purchased with a select price including coach travel Not a good cruise at all On Thursday at Cadiz I got off and when I tried to get back on I was forced to walk up the gangway as it was too steep for his chair, a barbaric thing to happen. They should have given me a manual chair up the ramp but it was not offered and again they show no consideration. What happened to the caring company we traveled with so many times.

Our 6th time on oceana could not fault anything staff so friendly & efficient

Great cruise on Oceana. Great weather, staff and ship.

First cruise, wasn't sure if it was for us but after spending a week on board I will be booking again, staff and crew were all so friendly, the ship is beautiful, and the entertainment brilliant.

Had to change itinerary because of the weather but you have to go with the flow can’t change what the weather is doing. They changed excursions quickly to accommodate the changes. Little disappointed because I really wanted to go to Gythion the island of Sparta but again weather intervened.

Just docked in Malta after a 7 night cruise on Oceana. This is our second cruise with P&O after sailing on Britannia last November. Positives: P&O collect your hold luggage from the airport and deliver it directly to your cabin; the same happens at disembarkation, whereby you collect your hold luggage from the carousel upon arrival back in the UK. Excellent food selection, presentation and quality for evening dining in the restaurants; staff very attentive and pleasant; great sized ship, although having cruised mainly with Celebrity & Royal Caribbean, we missed the fact that there was no outside dining area at the back of the ship and the layout of the ship took some getting used to. Drinks prices were on a par with UK pub prices. Ships tours were very well organised and managed. Negatives: the ship is very tired; our cabin and balcony on Deck 11 particularly so and there was a noticeable smell of sewage on Deck 11 midship throughout the cruise! Our cabin had previously been used as a 'day cabin' as we were not due to arrive until the evening of embarkation; the bin in our bathroom had not been emptied and there was a used shower cap in the shower. The choice of food during buffet lunch was very limited and self-service resembled a school canteen. The evening show productions were quite poor, compared to what we had previously experienced on Britannia, the highlight of which was Ukebox. We didn't like the layout of the seating in the Footlights Theatre, which was fed from two central spines, effectively hemming you in your seats. I don't think we'll be cruising onboard Oceana again after our experience.....

Marvellous cruise on Oceana. See detail under each category. I would highly recommend the Oceana.

Did our first ever cruise in Aug/Sept on Oceana and loved every minute, so much so the we have booked again for next year and the year after (different itineries). The food was excellent as were the waitets and cabin staff.

Great cruise. Good destinations. Malta was a highlight.

Just returned from Mediterranean cruise on Oceana sailing out of Malta. Great Itinerary and particularly loved the 2 stops in Croatia. Ship is a bit tired although did like the ship layout and friendliness. Not so good points...food was below expected quality. Menus read well but actual meals didn't match description. Food was bland in main restaurant and in Cafe Jardin.no flexibility in dishes even on basic additions.!! This was our first cruise with P&O and personally would not recommend or rush back. I accept it's all personal choice but on one evening all 8 diners returned main courses!!

We had an amazing time very friendly staff always willing to help if needed beautiful clean ship with good food cattering for all needs, plenty to do for all ages definitely be going again

Good ship, nice and clean, only downside was they put films on when in port instead of a sailing day

The only think that I didn't like is when you buy for ships shops you have to add tax. It's tey only one that do it I have been 11 times on cruise ship and they never add tax

This was a first ever cruise and i have to say it was fantastic, i am hooked on cruises, next cruise is the Caribbean on Britannia in March 2020 can't wait

Great cruise, great itinery, great ship let down by average restaraunt service and average food. Super captain who was highly visible and very entertaining presiding over staff who were not as enthusiastic as he was, first cruise with P&O, it was good but i think we have been spoilt by cruising with Celebrity! Sadly this was not in the same league.
