Riviera Cruise Reviews - Reviews

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.

Everything about Oceania and Riviera is excellent. Oceania is probably our favorite line (23 cruises on 9 different lines). The only complaint is the pricing of wine in the dining room, but this is a complaint that fits most if not all lines. The same wine that cost between $50 and $60 with gratuity on the ship can be bought in our grocery store for $16. Signed up for an unspecified future cruise to get discount but didn't receive the certificate and two weeks after enquiring by email Oceania still hasn't solved the missing certificate. IE, don't wait until the last day to sign up for a future cruise.

Overall the cruise was very nice and the seas were nice and calm.

Besides skipping the Canary Islands, which was disappointing, but necessary, Nassau is a horrible stop. The original itinerary said Stirrup Cay. Otherwise the cruise was fantastic, Oceania is a top notch cruise line, ship is phenomenal, meals, service, everything just fantastic! Because of the extra days at sea (8 in a row on our first transatlantic cruise!), the staff and crew provided lots of extra activities ans entertainment, which was much appreciated!

A real pleasure, great friendly staff. wonderful service. Food choice with the specialty restaurants was a treasure. On board activities were somewhat sparse and with a day at sea the day became very long.

It was a wonderful bucket list experience. We look forward to other travels with Oceania.

We enjoyed our cruise immensely. The service in the restaurants, room, embarkation and debarkation in every port was amazing. For a Greek cruise, we were a little disappointed that more Indian cuisine was offered in the main dining room than any Greek cuisine! We are not fans of buffets for dinner, so we did not go to the buffet Greek dinners.

This cruise was a total delight. The ports of call were the primary reason we selected this particular cruise line and the Ancient Vignettes itinerary and we were not disappointed in any way. Oceania knows how to take care of its passengers in a first class manner. Everything went like clockwork as far the planning and execution of excursions. It would have been nice if some of the excursions were started later in the day, but we realize that to a large extent, the timing is dictated by the port and scheduled departures to the next port. The food is excellent and the crew is totally customer oriented. Bravo Oceania!

This was our 1st Oceania cruise and we loved it. The ship was much smaller than we have sailed on in the past and I liked it. Our balcony stateroom was spacious and well appointed. Lastly, the food was excellent. My wife must have a gluten free diet and she ate like a queen. She claimed they have the best GF bread she has ever tasted. We took the wine with dinner package which was great for us. On a downside, the nightly entertainment is truly lacking. Two nights they had a concert pianist and another a flute player. They also had 2 movie nights which no one attended (no surprise there!).
