Review summary
this cruise should not have happen; from 8 stops, we made three; on one stop, we even could not get off the ship; we had to have a mask on constantly, which is not bad in itself, just annoying; in the middle of the cruise we had to make a Covid test (now test number 4, just for this cruise, in one week) to get to Grenada, then it was cancelled anyway; there was constantly talk about infected people on the ship, nobody knew, what was going on. One could see people in space suites, taped from head to toe in a white overall, cleaning another cabin. A daily occurrence. Not very enjoyable. People requested to go back to Miami in the middle of the cruise, which would have been the right decision, but was denied by Oceania management, as the captain said via intercom. It's one thing to have infected people on board, it's another not getting told the truth, but only hear rumors. We were 8 days just on the sea, with 4 days at port. This is not what we booked. In general, we should get our money back, because we just saw water all the time, but I guess, they blame it on Covid. In general, as I said, the cruise lines just should not operate right now, until this pandemic is under control. I know, this will not happen, but we will not go on another cruise, until we feel save. On this cruise, we did not feel save.Embarkation
