Oceania Cruises - Insignia Reviews

Cruise line ok, room small and had numerous problems with it.

Excellent value. Comfortable quarters. Great food, entertainment and service.

Oceania is a first rate cruise line. Staff, food, facilities, everything is second to none. They need a category above EXCELLENT on their surveys to aptly describe all aspects on board.

Would have given Oceania a "10" if they only had a fun piano bar like Holland America has.

Have always had great experiences, like the size of the ship, they keep their employees happy and it is a friendly environment.

Regent Cruise

I was not thrilled with our cruise experience. There were some issues that were not handled all that well by Oceania. We had a drastic change in itinerary due to weather that was handled quite cavalierly. We missed two ports and spent 6 long and rocky days at sea. It was not all that pleasant at times. I believe that Oceania should have offered some sort of cruise credit or future cruise incentive for the inconvenience. I realize that bad weather cannot be helped, but we had things flying off of shelves and breaking in our room, could not go out on deck for 6 days at sea, and missed two ports of call as well. It was not the vacation we envisioned.

Our Oceania Mediterranean Cruise was lovely. The staff was exceptional and very competent. The food was exquisite and my husbands special dietary needs were not a problem for the dining staff. The variety of excursions allowed us to choose exactly what we wanted to see. And the planned excursions enabled us to see much more than possible, had we decided to make travel arrangements ourselves. We enjoyed relaxing by the pool, listening to the string quartet after dinner and enjoying some of the shows. Seeing the very blue Mediterranean from our Veranda, enjoying the sunsets and then, the stars, was breathtaking and magical. Finally the ambiance aboard was very special. We enjoyed time together, celebrating our 50th anniversary, and also enjoyed sharing some of the adventure with new friends. Thank you Oceania for making dreams happen!

I assume you are referring to Oceania Cruises. We enjoy the Oceania experience and have no complaints.

This was our first cruise; however, Oceania is undoubtedly the best. Everything they say in their promotional materials is accurate and they exceeded all of our expectations.

The tickets and schedules were sent out extremely late and were unacceptable. T My awife and I were hit with an entrance visa charge when landing in Buenos Aires--there NEVER had been any mention about it in their contract as with the need to get a visa for Brazil.The ship (Inaignia) claimed they knew nothing about this charge and did not do anything about it. The ship is good but it certainly is not in the luxury class. The cabins were miniscule and were not totally cleaned daily.

THIS TRIP WAS NOT UP TO OCEANIA'S STANDARDS.THE EXCURSIONS WELL NOT WELL SUPERVISED BY OCEANIA IF AT ALL.THE SIDE TRIP TOMACHU PICCHU WAS A DISAPOINTMENT WE SPENT ONLY 2HRS AT THE SITE OUT OF THE FOUR DAY EXCUSION AND NOT WORTH THE 4,000.00 CHARGED.THE OTHER EXCUSIONS WERE A DISAPPOINMENT AS WELL.THE SHIP INSIGNA IS SHOWING ITS AGE.WE HAD A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS WITH OUR STATEROOM ALL WERE MECHNICAL IN NATURE

The whole experience was top-notch. It lived up to its reputation for excellent food, service and ambiance. We also thought that a lot of thought went into the itinerary and the excursions. The final extension to Capadoccia could have been planned a little better, but the rest was excellent. Also, the fellow passengers were extremely congenial.

Lovely ship with a staff that was respectful and caring. Food was great

The tour was fairly unique in that it stopped in ports just about every night and gave the opportunity to see 4 countries while traveling by ship

Oceania's service was not quite up to par with our previous experiences. They seem to have slipped on this cruise.

The cruise was well beyond our expectations.

Mixed feelings on cruiseline. We've done 13 other cruises and we like more activities than this one had. Most passengers on this cruise sat and read books. However we loved the ports and there some things about the cruiseline that we liked even better than others. As far as Brendan Vacations, the people they scheduled for transfer from London Airport to our hotel werent there to pick us up and basically we missed a day in London. When we called they were rude and said we were 5 minutes to late and couldnt send anyone else cause they were too busy. Brendan also faxed us a change of hotels in Copenhagen from Marriott to Ski Petrie and there was a big difference after we saw the Marriott compared to the Ski Petrie we were staying at. They did say they they would reimburse us for the transfer from the cruise to the hotel. But overall not very satisfied with them.
