We always book the Owners suite so the level of accommodation is superb and once again didnt disappoint . The excursion in Bordeaux was overpriced and a big let down but overall another enjoyable cruise with Oceania.
A great cruise on a beautiful ship.
Unfortunately the one place we wanted to visit, Amalfi, was not visited as it was too rough to tender, but we got a lovely day in Pompaei instead.
Some of the best food in all of the restaurants we have had on thirty plus cruises.
The refurbished cabin was a delight, a glass door for the shower rather than a shower curtain a great improvement.
Plenty of space on board inspite of it being a full complement of passengers.
the ship is beautiful, excellent food, friendly service - cabin attendants, dining and cafes, reception, on deck etc. I cannot comment on bars ( do not drink alcohol and therefore seldom went into the bars, but partner said very good service. this cruise generally went well, comfortable ship to spend time on. although most of the personnel provide an excellent service, they are let down by very poor destinations (excursions) team. they were often unavailable and very inefficient, poor communication, cancelled pre-booked excursions at the last minute and did not offer alternatives. The choice of excursions was often poor, over-priced, very few shuttle buses provided if want to do own thing, and the "team" were not at all informed about the places that the ship stops, or about facilities onshore or about ideas of things to do on shore. as we are good walkers we did our own things but the destinations team make no effort to help with arranging things. we go on a cruise principally to see and do a wide variety of things, whilst also enjoying the comfort and practicality a moving base. We will not travel with Oceania again because of the low standard and poor attitude of the destinations team, although Riviera is a very beautiful boat, with otherwise good service as detailed above.
Poor weather affected the start of the cruise otherwise it was the normal Oceania combination of great food and good service. I would prefer more by way of enrichment and would love an indoor swimming pool open to everyone
Absolutely outstanding- we love Riviera. The food was amazing as always and the ship beautiful. Staff can’t do enough to help. We didn’t want to get off and are looking forward to our next cruise with them.
Loved the Owner’s suite so much that we have booked it again for 2023
