Loved the Itinerary

August

Pros: Small ship and staff

Cons: Not sure it was sold as a Foodie, while good I would not state exceptional.

Recommended: Yes

The Ship was beautiful and the layout was so easy we learned our way around in no time. The staff was always friendly, smiling and seemed to really enjoy people. While the food was good, it was so hyped up that it was not exceptional to me. There were exceptions Tuscana restaurant and Aqua Mar were exceptional to us, Tuscana for all around food and atmosphere. Aqua Mar for the health food Tuna Poke and Avocado Toast, yum! Everything was well organized as far as getting on and off the ship, we loved our tours all booked through Oceania.

Oceania Vista

August

Pros: Beautiful cruise ship, smooth sailing, friendly staff, resort like atmosphere, good fine dining

Cons: Some of the excursions were sub par at best, especially the ones with stops in Italy on the Amalfi coast. Swimming pool was quite small and lounge chairs limited.

Recommended: Yes

In general it was a very nice cruise and quite relaxing. We never really had to wait in line for anything except for the tendering boats. Enjoyed the dining, especially Red Ginger and the Polo Club. The buffet option and the the large dining room outside of the specialty restaurants was great. Sommeliers were very good and knew their wines. Some of the wait staff could use more training, but the majority of the servers were excellent!

New ship with amazing staff and services

August

Pros: New ship, very comfortable, exceptional staff, well organized, great food

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

Lives up to its reputation of excellent cuisine and very attentive staff. We were sad when the cruise ended. Could have stayed on for additional weeks easily. The ship was laid out well and modernly appointed. Room was a good size and bathroom spacious, especially for a cruise ship. No complaints.

Vista is Amazing!

June

Pros: Friendly and helpful staff, cabin size and layout, great dining

Cons: Only 1 main pool (although it was never crowded)

Recommended: No

The recurring theme during our cruise was "there must be something in the water" Every single staff member we encountered was friendly and willing to help, even if it wasn't their department. We stayed in a B5 French Balcony cabin and it was perfect! Cabin is large and nicely appointed with plenty of storage, especially in the bathroom. Every single restaurant meal was perfect! From flavor to presentation to temperature. My personal favorite was Polo Grill and it is so nice that the specialty restaurants are included without an extra fee. So many choices at both Grand Dining Room and the Specialty restaurants, it was hard to choose. Plenty of options, never got bored of the menus after 12 nights on board.

Loved the Vista!

June

Pros: Food, dining venues, cleanliness of ship, design & decor, and fantastic staff!

Cons: Pre-cruise staff failed to adjust to and accommodate passengers’ needs due to pre-boarding location change in Trieste, Italy. We stayed with many other guests at the Hilton Molino Stucky in Venice. On the morning of embarkation, our luggage was randomly loaded into various buses which transported us to the pier in Trieste. Once at the pier location our buses were parked at least a football field away from the embarkation processing center. Here’s the bad part: you had no porters there to help us locate our luggage in the various buses and take them to the processing center. We passengers (many of whom are elderly) had to dig under the buses to locate our bags and carry them to the embarkation center. It was an awful beginning to an otherwise fabulous experience.

Recommended: Yes

Near the end of the cruise we were ready to take advantage of your on board incentives and book another cruise. When discussing this with the “Future Cruises” director, we were informed that she had no brochures and we need to go online to get any itinerary details and options. We went back to our suite, turned on our iPad, and waited and waited for the Oceania site to download. The speed (or lack of speed) of your ship’s Wi-Fi reminds me of the early days of dial-up phone modems. Needless to say, we will now work with our travel agent to explore our options with itineraries, cruise lines, and sailing dates.

Pros: BRAND NEW

Cons: BIGGER THAN THE SIZE WE LIKE.

Recommended: Yes

The ship is a luxury ship, brand you. Because is bigger than the others Oceania, the only problem is that we have to walk a lot to move ftom one place to another.
