Ship and food were impeccable, probably the best I've experienced. Service was great.

Easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Excellent, the best I've had. Two suggestions, make sure at least one side of the buffet is open past 2:00, most excursions come back after 2:00 and eating at the grille is not the best. In addition (unless I missed it), would be nice to release the dinner menus for the week at the main dinning room to determine if we'd rather go there, main buffet or a specialty restaurant.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Love all the sport amenities. Pool was gorgeous. Would be nice to have more afternoon activities vs. morning early afternoon for when people are back on the ship.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Average, but was expecting that. The musicians were great.

Ship Quality

Beautiful!!!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very nice. Closet a bit small as compared to some competitors. Concierge club not worth it, nothing special in the lounge. Only positive was making dinning reservations a couple weeks earlier.

Ship tip

Walk the entire ship when you first board.

Ports of call

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

4 out of 5
Rome is beautiful and a great city to start in, a little far from the port makes it harder to get to.

Sorrento, Italy

TRIESTE (VENICE), ITALY

Nowhere near Venice, should not be advertised as such. Way too far to get to the airport.

We have sailed Oceania 8 times. It's our favorite. Surprised that you gave such great review for Vista, but only 4 stars 🌟

Have you cruised on any other similar cruise lines, such as Viking or others? How did Oceania Vista compare?
