I am happy you did a small ship review . My wife and I are considering the smaller ship experience. Your review has got us looking over Oceania itineraries.

@CruiseTipsTV Месяц назад

Glad it was helpful! It's a WONDERFUL experience. Feels a lot like a premium line experience, but smaller!

@attilathefun_traveler Месяц назад

Kept saying wow! Over and over 😅. Look at the food alone, excellent presentation. I I’m totally for the all inclusive concepts. Where everything is truly included. Even an open happy hour, with spirits. Amazing Alaska excursions as well. Just amazing. You’re right the little touches do make it even more special and memorable.

@CruiseTipsTV Месяц назад

Thank you so much 😁 Those happy hours are GREAT! I think the cocktails were "two for one" if you hadn't upgraded to a bevvie package. I upgraded (probably didn't need to) because it was only $30 more per day.

@sonyah5081 Месяц назад

I know Junior had a blast on the excursions. This looks awesome. Thank you for sharing. Oceania regatta looks up my alley.

@CruiseTipsTV Месяц назад

It really is amazing Sonya! YES, he had so much fun. On the flight home we were all trying to decide which of the tours was our fave- the wave runners, helicopter or E-bike. They were all so special in different ways. I LOVED the thrill of the wave runners, but the Ebike tour was SO organized and the guides were just 10/10 amazing!

@Michelle-bc2vp Месяц назад

Glad to hear your comments about the dress code. I may have to look into this line. Love smaller, laid-back ships.

@CruiseTipsTV Месяц назад

Yes, that really took me by surprise. I had anticipated it being more formal for sure.

We Were On The Oceania Regatta 11 Mexico Cruise Before Your Alaska Cruise. We Absolutely Fell In Love With Oceania Regatta For The Small Ship Boutique Cruise Experience With Excellent Service And Great Food. Thank You For Sharing Your Experience

We love Oceania! We've cruised twice on Oceania Riviera. Our first experience with Oceania was a 23 day transatlantic from Miami to Venice, Italy! Sunsets on the Atlantic are sublime. Service was impeccable and the food exceeded our expectations. The Simply More pricing includes just about everything that we would want, so no nickel and dime add-ons for us. We have 3 future cruises booked with Oceania and we can't wait.

@DaveM-FFB 7 дней назад

The Oceania Riviera (1,250 passengers) was our first venture into small ship cruising and we loved it. However, I think the Oceania R-Class ships might be a little too small for us (680 passengers). We also plan to give Viking (Ocean) a try on their 930 passenger ships. Currently Viking seems to be about 10% - 15% less expensive compared to Oceania in an apples to apples comparison.

@GeoLovesCoffee Месяц назад

We were on the Alaska cruise from 5/13 - 5/20. Oceania was great! Love the small ship vibe and personal service. We had a penthouse suite on deck 8 which included a butler! The food was wonderful especially in the specialty restaurants. We will definitely be cruising with them again.

@FraserAtSea Месяц назад

I've been SO impressed with everything you've shown us from this trip - the ship looks beautiful, and the onboard experience looks fantastic. I'm really surprised to hear that the dress code is more relaxed - not sure why, but I'd always assumed that this type of cruise line would be far more formal!

@CruiseTipsTV Месяц назад

Glad you enjoyed it! I was totally surprised by the dress code too!

@LovelyLiss Месяц назад

I love this! WOW! I feel with all the savings and value from this cruise line, I’d be willing to splurge a bit more on excursions. Really great insight! Thank you for sharing!

@CruiseTipsTV Месяц назад

I totally agree! Excursion credits are part of "simply more" too!

@hollypostenmammini1685 Месяц назад

In January we did Oceania Vista to Antarctica, amazing trip 24 days! The excursions are amazing, the staff, food are all wonderful and worth the price!

Amazing! Antarctica is on my DREAM list. Did you get to go ashore, or all viewing from the ship?

Loved the video! You didn’t cover seeing the glaciers, so just wondering if there is another video on that? Thanks so much for your stellar content!

@CruiseTipsTV Месяц назад

Hey! Yah, we had bad weather, so we got CLOSE to Hubbard Glacier but had to turn around due to bad weather, fog and ice!

@debbieanderson6740 Месяц назад

This really looks like something my husband would really enjoy! The bigger ships he doesn't have any interest. Oceania looks wonderful.

@CruiseTipsTV Месяц назад

Yes- it makes a difference and is very relaxing! My hubby loves smaller ships too. The crowding is non existent!

@patticulver Месяц назад

Thanks so much for this video! I never considered Oceania before, but now my interest is piqued! I love the idea of a small ship with a laid-back vibe; sounds perfect. So glad you enjoyed your voyage.

Thanks for the response, I appreciate it. In all honesty, despite the number of keystrokes in my initial comment, I was just too lazy to do it myself, haha.

Fair enough! ❤️❤️

@PeterMackay66 Месяц назад

I've wondered when you were going to get around to Oceania. My ideal cruise line. We did a B2B Barcelona-Canaries-Barcelona-Monaco 17 days and it was awesome. Seems that post-pandemic they have dropped a couple of restaurants. Red Ginger was great but Toscana was my favourite.

@CruiseTipsTV Месяц назад

What a dreamy trip! Thanks so much for watching, Peter!

@user-pm3kn4eo6s Месяц назад

The best decor I've scene

@CruiseTipsTV Месяц назад

Right? The stateroom revamp really made a difference

@hollypostenmammini1685 Месяц назад

We love Oceania, you can eat at the speciality restaurants more than once if they have cancellations!

@CruiseTipsTV Месяц назад

That's so nice! On our 12 night, we did two nights each at Toscana and Polo, and I would have LOVED more.

@audreysifuentes1882 Месяц назад

Great reviews! I was wondering if you felt the ship move more since it’s smaller or if you had any rough seas?

@CruiseTipsTV Месяц назад

Yes it was very rough- however bigger ships will feel it too on the pacific coast- it was several days of rocking and rolling but once in Alaska- the inside passage was smooth like glass!

@allent1034 Месяц назад

Really great ship tour and video. Oceania was smart to host your family. Please tell me if you think your experience would be the same for a non-influencer who booked a cruise with Oceania.

@CruiseTipsTV Месяц назад

Good question and I think it would. We stayed in a standard balcony, ate all the same food and went on all the same excursions and were treated the same way. It’s the ship size and people who make it special. If you’re a small ship lover and like a premium, more adult experience- you’ll love it.

@justm88 Месяц назад

I thought you also went on a dogsledding tour? Didn’t see the footage, maybe I missed it somehow. Anyway looks like an awesome trip, the food looks great! Thanks for all the details of this cruise brand and ship.

@CruiseTipsTV Месяц назад

Thanks much! Yes, your memory is correct - but we’re trying to restore some lost footage and that’s part of it

@justm88 Месяц назад

@@CruiseTipsTV oh hope you can recover them!

@kathrynl6606 Месяц назад

My parents are currently crusiing Oceania in the Meditranian and it sounds amazing. How is the internet on board we typically have to work during our trips

@CruiseTipsTV Месяц назад

It depends on the location. Some sea days we lost connection entirely and that was with the upgraded plan. We used port side internet somedays, with ATT international day pass.

@TwinCitiesMinnesotaRealEstate Месяц назад

Question for you. You mentioned free drinks “with” your lunch and dinner. So does that mean only while you’re actually sitting at a table being served by a waiter/waitress? What about a pre dinner drink at the bar? Just curious how that all irons out. Thank you!

@CruiseTipsTV Месяц назад

Hey! Great question- yes, it was beer and wine served at your dinner or lunch table by a waiter waitress. And, the bar outside the MDR doesn't even OPEN until 6:30pm. So, the nice thing is though, they have Happy Hour at the bars BEFORE dinner, 2 for 1 drinks so most people would do that, THEN go to dinner when the dining rooms opened at 6:30pm. It does take some getting used to, but it works!

@bellati2006 Месяц назад

Hi Sheri! Looks like a great ship and I need to watch your video until the very end...I promise I will get back to it, but in the meantime I do have a question. We've been on four cruises and our fifth one is scheduled for next year...I have always made copies of all of the paperwork (cruise excursions, boarding paperwork, drink packages you get my drift) and carried them in a tote bag...but it seems like the cruise lines have moved away from actually needing hard copies (in case anything was wrong, you had the hard copies to back you up). I carried around this tote bag with all of our back up copies of ship-travel documents and have never once took any of the papers out of my bag...or needed them because everything is online now. What are your feelings about needing to carry hard copies anymore? Sorry for this long-winded question...TIA!

@CruiseTipsTV Месяц назад

You sound a lot like me. I generally don’t refer to the paper copies and there’s only a very few things that I take anymore on paper. I will still take my printed excursion Reservations if they are not with a cruise company. But I don’t print anything airline related or drink package stuff or anything like that. So only the things that you won’t find in your cruise ship app. I hope that helps you.

@bellati2006 Месяц назад

@@CruiseTipsTV Thank you so much! Yes, your answer does help me and I appreciate your reply.

@kellydooling 5 дней назад

thanks for this video! questions: how did the price compare to a princess alaskan cruise of the same length? given that it’s a smaller ship, did you or others experience more problems with seasickness? does oceania go into glacier bay np? appreciate it.

@CruiseTipsTV 4 дня назад

Good question! When you factor in that most pax got air and a pre cruise hotel night included AND included alcohol, dollar for dollar, it was probably quite close, especially if you typically buy a drink package. No glacier day on this cruise, which was interesting! But, I think they usually do glacier days!

@kellydooling 4 дня назад

@@CruiseTipsTVthanks! any issues with more seasickness due to the ship being smaller?

@norinechang2564 22 дня назад

How was the motion on this size ship, especially for the segment between SF and Sitka?

@CruiseTipsTV 20 дней назад

We definitely felt the motion, but that may have been the time of year too!

@vickieaspinwall347 Месяц назад

Hey Sheri, for a smaller ship like this one, does it rock a lot more because of it?

@CruiseTipsTV Месяц назад

Hi Vickie- yes, in places were the seas were rough, we definitely felt it more. We had some rough weather on this one for sure. I've had that happen too, along the Pacific coast even on the largest ships.

@ericmanner8546 Месяц назад

Between the two videos posted about this cruise, neither one of them said anything about the cost except that Oceania hosted you. As much as I enjoyed the info you put out, I don't feel inspired to watch one of your Q & A videos to find out the cost of the trip. What I do know is that it's a $30 pd uncharged for the spirits.

@CruiseTipsTV Месяц назад

Hi Eric- thanks for your comment. We don’t usually share cruise fares in our videos because they vary a lot- by date, ship and even economic conditions. That’s why I suggested in the video checking with your TA- I don’t sell travel and I would hate to put random price info out there that could vary or change.
