Oceania Cruises - Riviera Reviews

Great trip. The ship, Oceania Riviera is pretty, similar to Azamara ships. The suite was great. Ample and comfortable. The main dining room is beautiful. The terrace cafe had grand motherly curtains and the tables are crowded. Lounges and entertainment areas are great

Ship decor very nice and food pretty good, but ship lacking in activities. Basically, nothing much going on after 10 pm. Very few dancing choices throughout the cruise, terrible and barely any group activities, and not much music. The theatre had good entertainment but only one show per night all 12 nights. Except for room service, no food after 9 pm!!! Some of the ports not well planned and needed more shuttle buses!!!!

Every aspect of this cruise was excellent -- the ship -- Riviera -- was first class in every way; the daily support staff as very friendly and totally professional; the food and dining choices were exceptional. Would recommend to all to take. Extremely pleasant trip and experience.

We truly enjoyed our 9 day cruise to Alaska. The Riviera is a beautiful ship, crew were gracious and helpful, dining was lovely.

Enjoyed our first Oceania cruise to Alaska on Riviers. Great food and wonderful service.

The ship was beautiful, gorgeous artwork. The service was impeccable. The stateroom was lovely. Oceania is marketed for its food; we found it to be a bit overhyped. The Red Ginger dining room was outstanding. The Italian restaurant Toscana was only average. The steakhouse Polo was very good, although the filet mignon was not tender, as it should have been. The French restaurant Jacques was quite good. The Grand Dining Room left a bit to be desired. The Terrace Cafe (buffet) could always be counted on to have something good, and the Waves burger/pizza outdoor cafe was very good as well. The Prestige Beverage/Wine package was NOT very good. While the cocktails were outstanding, the wine selections were awful for a premium offering. Do better, Oceania. We had shore excursions included and we did quite a few of those. Traveling in a bus with 30 other people was just OK, although we did enjoy the attractions and our tour guides were generally pretty good. We would rate the cruise a solid B+.

We had a great time with what was possible. Unfortunately, four ports were cancelled in the first half of the voyage, an addition was made last minute and we didn't take advantage of that port {Zanzibar) as we had not purchased the Tanzanian visa because we hadn't planned to go into Dar Es Salam. None of these were the ship or the travel agent's fault but it was very disappointing. As well, our excursion in Nosy Be, Madagascar was a disaster for which we were refunded the purchase price...but...disappointing nonetheless.

It was an outstanding cruise. Food, ports and service were outstanding. I already paid deposit for the next one. Excellent size ship with great atmosphere. Ship excursions were also fantastic.

Excellent itinerary with typical quality of services from Oceania.

Everything was custom tailored to give me the best experience possible. I met lots of great people, including fellow passengers and staff. The state rooms, the food and the service are out of this world. This is a trip I will always cherish and remember.

Loved the spacious stateroom, and the organizational places to store items! Good selection of food. Service provided by staff was great!

The ship is beautiful, the staff was excellent and very friendly, and the food was truly above and beyond expectations!

The staff were nice for the most part. Food was good, except for one restaurant. Low key

Fantastic cruise ship! We loved the itinerary and the boat was super nice, food was excellent and the staff was incredible. Everything ran super efficient from boarding, excursions, dealing with an unexpected sea day without stopping in a port, to leaving the ship at the end...it all ran very smoothly. Our stateroom was very elegant and the bathroom was over the top! We loved it all! We would definitely cruise again with Oceania...highly recommend!

Excellent service Excellent food Port of Gozo was terrible Evening entertainment not so great

Great time great service looking forward to another cruise Lucy Squarzini

This was our first time took Oceania Cruises. We enjoyed it. The service was great! Especially the food was excellent! But the excursions disappeared us

Ship was nice, crew was very friendly and approachable. Food for the most part was fairly good…with some exceptions at the buffet. Room with a view was amazing as well as the ports we visited. The ship excursions were run well and had great guides with knowledge of history.

Food great, accommodations great. Shore excursions not good at all. Disorganized and not informstional
