Iglu Cruise customer reviews for Oceania Nautica
Oceania surpassed our expectations in terms of the sheer suitability and enjoyment of being on a small ship. So many assets to mention, including: the superb personable service, the quality of the food, the very relaxed atmosphere on board, the lack of congestion in dining rooms, external and internal public areas. Additionally, the range of benefits included in the price was of great appeal including open access to speciality dining. The itinerary, while busy, was full of interest and the whole experience was exceptionally worthwhile. We would not hesitate to return to this cruiseline.
For a 'foodie' cruise the speciality restaurants were average, no better than other cruise lines. The main restaurant again nothing spectacular. The terrace was above average copmpared to other lines. Day one had an issue with noisy aircon and the cabin was warm on the lowest setting. Reported and engineer arrived to insert green foam around the unit and adjust the temperature. Ours was the only suite that appeared to have the issue, other cruisers on deck 8 were fine, you could hear out unit when approaching the cabin. Despite reporting several times it was not resolved. A chance meeting with the captain who asked how the cruise was, I mentioned the aircon, he replied are you cabin 8057, yes I said, he said I've just been there it's fine at 20C. This was recorded via a probe to the centre of the unit I had seen the engineer do this not saatisfactory.
First time cruiser and have to say the Nautica left nothing to chance they thought of everything, getting from airport to the ship was so simple, all the days off board were expertly organised by the staff and when we left again after our holiday, disembarkation was simple. The staff on this ship were outstanding from Alexis our steward to the bar and restaurant staff they cannot do enough for you. Everwhere is clean , everything works , the entertainment was to a good standard in the evening. Our cabin was smallish but perfectly comfortable, everything you can possibly need is on this ship, I would have no hesitation going on the Nautica again
A great ship, and the ideal size. While the food is generally very good their claim of the "finest cuisine at sea" is slightly questionable. The crew are friendly and helpful. Having the drinks package is well worthwhile for even moderate drinkers. The tender process worked well when required. Downsides - The band in the main lounge are far too loud and actually not that good. Service in the cocktail bar was patchy, more staff staff needed there in the evenings. Being a smallish ship the pool was small and usually crowded. Excursions were very expensive There was no highlighting of a change of port.
