My husband and I love the small ships and have sailed on the old Rennaisance line ships under Princess and Azamara as well as Oceania. The Regatta is scheduled for renovation, and it is sorely needed. They HAVE to do something with the main showroom but it will be a challenge.
This cruise was very relaxing, from Miami through the Panama Canal to LA. And we live close to LA so disembarking in ...
My wife and I are frequent cruisers and chose this cruise as an alternative to the all inclusive lines where we always are charged for something we don't take part in. We also used this cruise to determine if we wanted to hold or cancel a 45 day trip on this ship next year out of New Zealand & the South Pacific.
Our embarkation in Miami was swift and without incident. Our first port out of ...
t: Left Miami with huge expectations. Boring tour of Havana. After leaving Havana we were soon informed about engine problems that would cancel our Cartagena shore excursion. The one excursion I was truly looking forward to. Went thru the canal and on to Costa Rica. Did a walk in a cloud forest where we saw one bird and one poison is frog. Had two folks who never should have been on the ...
Our 16 day cruise from Miami to San Francisco spent 88% of the time at sea, not at the destinations Spending $800+ per day on fine dining is not my idea of an enjoyable cruise.
Destination Services were overpriced, poorly conceived and poorly organized.
Cuisine was excellent and service impeccable.
Cabins were small 216 sf and tight Bathrooms even tighter.
We were aboard Regatta, a ...
Just an OK cruise with a few disappointments . . . we have sailed on Oceania before, this cruise one of our least favorite. Panama Canal from Miami to San Francisco. We did get to Cuba which was fascinating to say the least. We arranged a private tour for the two of us all day . . . $65/pp. Museums, walks through town and ride in a 57 Chevy convertible. Great guide, provided lots of ...
We chose this cruise as an end of winter getaway to the lovely Caribbean. Embarkation was efficient and we were on board within minutes. Disembarkation was on time and also efficient.
The ship is old but clean and well maintained. We were offered an upgrade to a higher category which we gladly accepted and paid for, however, we were in a cabin directly above the show lounge which meant no ...
Oceania Regatta is offering a wine package of seven wines for $47.50 per bottle.
I found these wines to be quite unremarkable and recommend that you spend yourhard USDs on wines from the standard wine list.
The Regatta offers afternoon movies with popcorn and soft drinks which is most welcomed, especially on sea days. However the movies are not in closedcapioning. I asked the young man ...
Embarkation: Quick and easy. Port of Miami employees were friendly and helpful.
Passengers: The person who penned Oceania brochure's "country club casual" dress code might want to spend some time on Regatta checking out the passengers' attire as "Costco casual" seems a more apt description. There was nothing country club, elegant or sophisticated about our fellow passengers. Most travelers ...
The employees at Oceania Cruises with the highest salaries must certainly be those paid to create the beautiful brochures which describe in detail the cruises and shore excursions that one will experience aboard their ships. They are masters at selling travelers a vacation that apparently that is far different than the one you will actually experience.
We were so very excited to spend our ...
Please don't waste your money on this cruise line!! My husband and I have always had a wonderful time on every one of our many luxury cruises with other cruise lines. We have never had a single complaint. But this was our first--and last--cruise with Oceania.
Oceania billed us, in error, an EXTRA $460.00 for gratuities, in addition to the usual and customary gratuity. We had to make frequent ...
