Disappointing Oceania
For our Christmas & new year cruise in 2025 Oceania downgraded its offering. Having enjoyed 12 previous Oceania cruises we were disappointed at the deterioration in food quality. The chef explained that head office now arranges menus & the ship has no real control on what is offered. We sat on a shared table in the speciality restaurant on the 2nd night. Three out of 4 main courses were returned as inedible. Service throughout the ship was not up to standard. Looked like there was a shortage of staff. This was most apparent in the main dining room. Shortly before the sailing date we were advised that a stop in Australia had been substituted for an extra day in Indonesia. Two other stops in Australia were cancelled without substitution. Maintenance in parts of the ship was neglected although our penthouse cabin was in good order. We understand that the economies have been applied across the fleet. Means that we will be looking elsewhere in future.
