Terrific cruise by HollandAmerican

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Sirena

Oceania is a great cruise line if you like the smaller ship experience. Great, friendly staff, great food, great public spaces, and outstanding entertainment (Sirena). But, small staterooms and baths are a problem.

Panama Canal was great. Oceania wasn't. by rlbernthal

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Sirena

Don't take tours sponsored by Oceania. One of ours was terrible and they didn't stand behind it. Should have been a 7 hour tour and it lasted 10. We got back on the ship after sailing time. We asked for a refund and they said no because not enough people complained. A ridiculous position for a cruise line that is supposed to be higher end. This was our second time with them and will never sail with them again.

Trip experience could of been better if .... by resmont

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Sirena

In general, this cruise would be much better if: 1/ provided detail port information and disembarkation information in advance for better planning and ashore experiences 2/ provided the accurate information about health situation on the cruise rather than announcement about one sick person leading to cancellation of all aboard activities Missing the first port of call and cancellation of major onboard activities made this trip quite boresome and socially unpleasant after all

Small Island Splendor by tschaible

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Sirena

Definitely a adult cruise. At 61 I was one of the youngest passengers. Great food and staff. Limited onboard activities. Small cabins but very clean. Interaction with the staff was excellent. Don’t book for onboard activities. Very relaxing. Never crowded in pool or hot tubs.

Overall, very nice trip and the ship was fine. I will cruise again possibly on this line but will never use one of their shore excursions again.

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple

Internet terrible. We paid for an Owners Suite and had to pay extra per day per item for better connection. Food over-rated in their ads Service and staff first rate

Wonderful trip around the Mediterranean by mybagsarepacked

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Sirena

All-in-all, we enjoyed the cruise very much. We are considering going back to Crystal though, because Oceania is quite expensive, and though we don't mind paying it, we would expect flawless service and we did not receive it this cruise. I saw it everywhere so it wasn't just aimed at me. The other thing that is a huge fail in our opinion, is that the excursions nearly ALWAYS return to the ship after 2:00pm and with only one exception, in ten days every time we returned to the ship in the afternoon, there was no where to eat. I heard it from lots of people, and of course it was our experience as well. It was super frustrating to go out on a very physically demanding excursion (all of ours were) and return exhausted and ravenous and literally only have one option: room service. We never called room service on the afternoons because we knew the rest of the ship was too. There was WAVES, the poolside restaurant, but there is very limited seating, it is outdoors and hot, and a limited menu that many people (including me) were too keen on as there were really no healthy options. So that was super frustrating, so much so that it will impair our excitement for the next two cruises we have booked with oceania to book any optionals. We may have to make other arrangements because Oceania just can't seem to line up returns of the day tours with having viable options for dining. If the buffet would even stay open til 3 instead of closing at 2 it would have been a HUGE help.

Good cruise on a nice ship but with a few glitches by scadams4373

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Sirena

This was our first cruise on one of Oceania's smaller ships. We liked the larger Riviera/Marina better but this was not bad. Major kudos for the entertainment!!!! We will not sail in/out of Aruba again.

Great trip and service, but not quite up to Oceania standards by mrplombard

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Sirena

Overall we had a wonderful time with absolutely perfect temperatures - 78-84 consistently. The main goal for this trip was to relax, perhaps more than for sightseeing in other destinations such as in Europe, and these stops mostly all worked great to accomplish this goal.

Enjoyable. Itinerary was good but with the rough waters and being confined to inside for so many days on a ship this size there are few daytime activities

Mediorcar by bdudek434

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Sirena / Destination: Europe - Western Europe

Was underwhelmed. OLife air was ridiculous, very bad connections and hotels overpriced. Free air transfers are not really free if padded into the hotel price.

Disappointed first timer on Oceania by alicialavanchy

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Sirena / Destination: Europe - Western Europe

Overall we were disappointed, first with our accommodations, we have been on many cruise ships and this was the smallest cabin we ever had, specially when is referred as luxury only. Second we couldn’t visit three port due to bad weather and there was not much to do onboard, no activities except for the gym. We realized the were no plans for unexpected sea days. Nothing was offered to compensate for the boredom.

Would not sail on that ship ever again. Management is inept by slakeyco

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Sirena / Destination: Europe - Western Europe

Don't go is all I can say. Yes, the cruise itself was OK and the tours were well run and informative. If they had better management and were better organized on the front end And did have a more diverse menu including some Irish dishes then over all it would be an OK cruise. Let's face it they need a more passenger oriented captain and for sure a real chief.

Good with some big disappointments by MusicGrazer

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Sirena / Destination: Europe - Western Europe

The food was a HUGE disappointment and one of the primary reasons for trying Oceania. Not sure I would sail again unless I read reviews that indicate they have addressed whatever issues they were having. Specifically, food was bland; a number of times it took an extremely long time to be served; one of our two dinners in the steakhouse had about the worst beef filet I've ever had -- obviously poor quality and had been frozen -- color was grey and tasteless. Red Ginger was very good each time we dined there.
