Oceania Nautica Reviews

food ok ship nice but small showers are rediculous,crew excellent

Food and staff fabulous . Taxi company at airport , dreadful and unprofessional . Hotel fab . Ship lovely , would be nice to be able to talk to fella guests without loud music in the Martini bar . Overall an enjoyable cruise .

Ports of call good / could not tender at Troy due to sea swell ?? have tendered in conditions twice as rough no problem , perhaps due the the agility of the majority of the passengers! the air conditioning in our cabin was overbearing and difficult to control, leaving us with extremely dry throats , the food was not as good as The Best Cuisine At Sea advertised but was o. k. Plenty of nice things about Nautica , cabin staff were excellent as were the majority of the staff . Will look at Oceania again on a larger ship

We really enjoyed this cruise. The itinerary was excellent and made extra special because the weather was so good. Positives Clean and good standard of fittings Smooth transfer and boarding Friendly staff Good drinks availability although if not on the package we were it would have been expensive. Good choice of food available for normal dietary requirements Negatives Some staff weren’t as efficient, maybe new to the ship. We had some time waiting for food in Grand Dining and on one occasion orders mixed up which was worrying considering one of the meals was gluten free. Disappointed with Toscana restaurant as lobster not the best and sauce poor quality. Having said that my husband had Fillet Mignon which he said was great. Gluten free options were not labelled in the Terrace restaurant and we had to ask about everything the servers didn’t always know and had to get the chef which sometimes took several minutes. They were good at offering alternatives but it would have been smother if foods labelled. Gluten Free desert choice was poor often only fruit or soufflé of the day. I thought it was strange that deserts weren’t included on the pre order menu which was completed each morning ready for the evening meal. We didn’t feel overall that, compared to other cruises we have been on, the food was “best at sea” as described.

A Big Disappointment

Top quality people and service. They couldn't be more helpful. Food was great and portion sizes very sensible.

Everything went smoothly

Amazing ship with amazing staff

Nice relaxed cruise - food sometimes repetitive- always tables available in the buffet restaurant - a very enjoyable cruise

We started our holiday in Copenhagen, where we spent 2 days prior to boarding our cruise. The hotel here was perfectly located in the city center, close to the main attractions and is highly recommended - it us the Absalon hotel. We are very impressed with the quality of the service and facilities of Oceania. We particularly enjoyed the concept of small ship (about 680 passengers) - this meant that it is never over crowded; be it in the bars, restaurants, the pool area or the theatre. You also feel the attentive service from the staff - friendly and competent. The food was one of the reasons we booked with Oceania and I feared that this might have been a bit of a marketing hype - but it is not. All restaurants, from the simple Terrace self service to the two Speciality restaurants and the Dining Room, all serve excellent food. Only one area that I would mark down; that is the size of the bathroom - it is a little tight and we had a Concierge Balcony room. On the whole, top marks for this first cruise for us with Oceania. Also and as usual, the arrangements made by Iglu; flight, transfers, hotel and cruise were perfect. Thank you Iglu.
