Mostly great

October

Pros: Perfect size , beautiful materials & interior design, excellent staff

Cons: Electrical issue causing 3 day delay

Recommended: Yes

Stunning ship - but internal workings seem a bit suspect. Quality of workmanship, marble in laid bathrooms, mahogany walls in library, glass Artist Loft, talented spa staff, excellent service….. beauty in the details. YES! Only flaw was unexplained 1am fire alarm, and sketchy explanation being called back to port (as if decision to leave was not appropriate). Followed by daily hopes of departure- which days to resolve. Unfortunate, questionable— but did not ruin the other good days.

Oceania Vista Portal to Antiquity Sailing

September

Pros: Executive Lounge with Concierge was a nice bonus, Room was spacious and comfortable, Food was very good, Itinerary was amazing, Laundry Service was awesome

Cons: Casino was small, there was no bar service in Aquamar Spa Terrace (hot tubs), Butler service was lacking

Recommended: Yes

Overall amazing trip! The itinerary was incredible and the ship was beautiful. We had a penthouse suite so we had access to the executive lounge with concierge, which was a great perk! Our concierge, Vedrana, was very helpful and always cheerful. The butler service that came with our cabin selection was lacking. Many days we didn't even see him. Laundry service was a great addition to the 10-day trip. The system of leaving the ship for excursions may have room for improvement, as it was a little cumbersome at times. Overall... highly recommend!

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.
