Riviera Cruise Reviews - Reviews

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.

Our original cruise had been drastically changed because of Covid, so we opted out. We booked back-to-back cruises, 20 days total, primarily because we wanted to relax, enjoy the sun, and enjoy good food. We accomplished the first two objectives, but not the third. We are gourmet cooks at home, and are very selective about the quality of the food we buy. I hope that the problems we encountered with the food were temporary supply change issues that will correct themselves in the near future. Before I book another Oceania Cruise, I will pay close attention to comments about the food.

As for the ship, the food and the staff you couldn’t ask for a more relaxing enjoyable cruise. In our book Oceania is definitely a ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

Grest cruise, friendly courteous staff, always helpful. Never lacking in activities or entertainment, something for everyone from games, shows, spa, fitness, pool time to quiet library time. Something for everyone!

This was a much needed getaway for us. We were very pleased with the overall quality, service and value of sailing on the Riviera.

We enjoyed the cruise very much. Covid protocols were followed by the staff and guests given reminders when necessary. We felt very safe on board. We were disappointed in not stopping at Casablanca and the Canary Islands but understood the circumstances.

Great service, good to get out from COVID. Ship kept clean. Very disappointed to miss Casablanca and when Canary Island canceled left us with 8 day crossing; too long.

The itinerary changed significantly, because of Covid concerns but overall we enjoyed it very much

Highly recomend this ship for a great cruise experience.

Second trip on Oceania Riviera and second time with highly enjoyable experience. From captain on down to room and wait staff, all top notch. Will look forward to our next Oceania cruise.

this was a cruise to get away from the craziness of Christmas and we accomplished it; very relaxing, with good food and nice weather

The Oceania Riviera ship & crew put a smile on our faces front the moment we stepped on board to the day we stepped off! Outstanding

The Atlantic crossing was an amazing way to relax and decompress. We used the sea days to catch up on our sleep, but we were never board. The cooking lessons and cooking demonstrations are particularly excellent on this size ship.

Enjoyed everything......hard to imagine how it could be improved very much. Oceania seems to think of almost everything to make the experience great

This was my 17th cruise, but first on Oceania. I may be spoiled, but I liked my experience with Viking and Crystal better because they were all inclusive; whereas Oceania found additional things to charge for. Oceania's "free" week of WiFi was frustratingly hard to access and then very slow. Their communication was poor. We were given different information depending on who we asked. Aside from that, it was a wonderful cruise.

I BOOKED THIS CRUISE TO SEE HAVANA AND TO VISIT TIKAL(IT'S PIC IS IN THE BROCHERE}. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER IF I HAD DONE HAVANA ON MY OWN , I HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE. TIKAL WAS NOT AN OPTION SINCE IT IS 12 HOURS AWAY. USING THE TENDER SERVICE WAS A MISERABLE EXPERIENCE. WE WERE PACKED IN LIKE SARDINES. I COULDN'T EVEN MOVE MY FOOT. HORRIBLE!

This was the best cruise line we have ever been on. Beautiful ship, wonderful staff, great room, outstanding food. What more can I say! This will not be our last cruise on Riviera.

ASS (always selling something) was annoying....martini tasting, bingo, spa treatment, acupuncture. Stop marketing to me

We were there for the weather (escaping the Northeast weather) and the ship life. the food was excellent and everything is well done.

All in all a very happy satisfactory experience. Food and service all good. Beds especially comfortable.
