An incredible ship - the staff were so welcoming and full of smiles. It was a smaller ship and it was so lovely to be able to negotiate and get our bearings almost straight away! We embarked smoothly and without delay, with luggage delivered to our rooms within the hour. Disembarkation was seamless too; our journey from cabin to the cruise port was less than 15 minutes. Our outside deluxe cabin was snug but very comfortable, loads of little hiding places to store items. Our steward Min was so helpful & an absolute credit to Oceania. Food at all restaurants was out of this world, particularly in the Polo Grill - the fillet mignon was stunning! We are now fully converted to Oceania, they are fantastic and we can’t wait to sail with them again.

Oceania's Regatta is a pleasant small cruise ship with comfortable cabins but it is not luxurious in the way the Oceania publicity would lead you to believe, in my opinion. The theatre/lounge is comfortably furnished but poorly arranged for seeing the small stage/floor area. The decor is a bit uninspiring. The food is good. The outside eating area at the back is nice. There's nothing to complain about but it's not outstandingly special.

Regatta is a very nice ship. We couldn’t fault anything regarding the presentation and cleanliness throughout. The cruise itself was too busy though and lacked time to properly enjoy the resorts. Maybe one less port would have worked better with an overnight stay in Phuket May have been a better option than the short stops experienced. Excursions offered were not inspiring and disappointingly we were miss sold a trip in Phuket presented as visiting a shopping mall 5 mins walk from a beach which was parent nonsense as it occurred leaving us with 3 1/2 hours at a mall which translates into a wasted effort. Food was enjoyable with a couple of memorable meals taken in the speciality restaurants. Either side of that the main dining room offered a good selection albeit the experience didn’t wow on a couple of occasions. The biggest disappointment was the post dinner entertainment which was as flat as a pancake. Low budget shows were the mainstay all of which were distinctly ordinary.

A lovely cruise holiday with good service from friendly staff- who seemed to actuallly enjoy their work and had interest in both their work and passengers. Got to meet a delightful group of fellow passengers who where from all parts of the globe and generally well travelled. . Regatta was generally pristine and there were lots of facilities, for a small ship,if you wanted to use them . Food was generally of high standard with a wide variety. Cabin was modern with plenty of tv channels and usb charging points. On the downside the en-suite was relatively small for a premier cruise line , found it a squeeze to get in the shower and it was quite a high step from main cabin to en suite- beware you do not fall as you come out. For Brits it lacked a kettle for making a cup of tea but free room service was always available and prompt- so we made use of that service for tea and coffee plus the fridge was well stocked with soda . Disembarkation was relatively early from 8-9 am and for those with late flights they did not offer extra time onboard. Excursion's generally enjoyable and informative but only touched the surface and could have been slightly longer for the costs involved. All in all a very relaxing holiday with good food and drink, great service and good company.
