Regatta Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Exceeded our expectations in every way! Would highly recommend!

We had a great cruise with Oceania. The only few issues was the nightly entertainment which was very dated and old. The other issue was the size of the bathroom, way too small. Even though we had those issues, I highly recommend this cruise. The food and staff were absolutely amazing.

Love Alaska and the excursions - ot a fan of regatta and the lack of servic

The itinerary was very good and largely to islands we had never been to. The weather was a major factor, whether it was rainy or just hot, this made a difference in our comfort levels for all of the excursions. Like any long trip, there were good excursions, and some lesser ones. My disappointment was generally in where the ship parked everyday. The port areas tended not to be pretty or tourist inviting for nice walks. These were not the pictures that one sees in commercials about these islands. When we took bus tours to other parts of the islands, we were able to see the beauty. That being said, if one books a tour like this, one should plan to take an excursion every day.

Embarcation and disembarcation were the worst in twenty cruises we have been on

If somebody's thinking about taking a cruise I highly recommend oceana but without children because there's nothing for him and it's nothing when you got to listen to a crying baby at the polo grill I'm at those two other boys but they were up in the computer and we found out you did not see the 210 year old boys but Shannon does not make provision for children but it's always basically all people older but now you getting some young people which is great we had a lot of fun met other people

Overall, this was a very good cruise. We had a lot of fun, were never bored but were able to relax, and didn't want it to end quite so soon. It was our first on Oceania and we will try them again. I will say that one should do their research and know what to expect because this line fills a pretty narrow niche. Don't expect all the activity and partying one gets on bigger ships (our 30-something children missed that a bit) nor the level of service, space, and luxury one gets on much more expensive lines (my wife and I missed that a bit).

This was my first cruise and I very much enjoyed it. I will take another, and likely on the same sized ship, which I thgought was a perfect size. My wife has been on other cruises, but enjoyed this one the most. I would strongly recommend Oceania, and the woman I worked with, Sheila Bennett.

Ship, rooms, entertainment not worth the money. I would not go on this line even for free. The food was very good but the rest not good. The staff tried their best but not up to par compared to equal type of ships. I had to go to the doctor on board. The doctor and staff were very good but the facility was not. Not very clean and a matter of space again. They asked me to give them a urine specimen. I had to go through a sick persons room in order to get to the bathroom.

Food was a problem, from spiciness to finding foreign object in it. Spa was out of materials for pedicure. We enjoyed the ports even though it rained every day. Did not live up to expectations.

Oceania seems to have cut back on the wait staff and often we had to wait - also, they were not as helpful as usual. We love this cruise line and I think this was our 13 cruise but probably our last.

Weather was a problem, rough seas etc. food was good but not exceptional

We highly recommend this vacayfor someone who wants a 7 day trip to Alaska. Oceania was top notch; can’t imagine going on any other lines now.

Regatta is a great ship. Being a luxury liner, it has all the amenities you would want. The inside passage is the best part of the cruise as we were able to see many land marks. The Narrows was the best part.

This was our first cruise. We had never been especially interested in a cruise: however, going on a small ship to a place like Alaska was great. It was nice to have a home base, and not pack and unpack all the time. Lori Cordes, from Delta Skymiles vacations, helped with all the details (very patiently, I might add).

The shore excursions were enjoyable. We got to four cities we had never visited in Mexico, plus Cabo San Lucas, our seventh visit there. Oceania did not live up to the expectations I had. Mainly due to our cabin location on the ship, size of the bathroom and underwhelming specialty restaurant. I may try Oceania again in about ten years when I want less activity on my cruises.

The islands we visited, especially in the first leg of the trip were breathtaking. We ended up having to be at sea for 5 full days on our way to Hawaii because the waves were high and the Captain could not go as fast as was intended. After Hawaii we had another 5 days at sea which we knew about but were not really prepared for. Not much to do onboard as far as entertainment. Covid-19 was pretty prevalent by the time we docked in LA and inconsistent information given to passengers that had tested positive as far as disembarkation.

Embarkation took way to long, what takes so long to get rooms ready waiting to 3:pm is just not right. You ask how many cruises I have been on well that was #55.

Oceania delivered on an excellent, unforgettable cruise. Being a smaller sized ship, the Regatta was much more comfortable and no doubt allowed access to interesting smaller ports where the leviathans can't go. The cuisine was sublime. The only word to describe the Toscana restaurant is mmmmm. Crew and service were top notch. Special compliments to our concierge stewardess Rena. The ship and cabin were clean and comfortable. The six excursions were well worthwhile. Overall, luxurious comfort and a lot of fun.

This was my first oceania cruise and the first cruise longer than 8 days for us. It will not be my last. What made the trip so enjoyable was not only the staff and the ports of call, but the passengers. They were engaging and very enlightening. On the 14th day of this 18 day sailing, one of the passengers that I hung out with described this sailing as "boot camp." We were either starting our day going on an excursion, or we were getting involved with activities on the ship because we were "at sea." By the end of dinner, I was exhausted and went to bed. I missed alot of shows, but I did get 8 hours of sleep. :-)
