I’ve Done 5 Oceania Cruises. Here’s What No-one’s Telling You

I’ve sailed five times with Oceania Cruises across three different ship classes, most recently on a 19-night Sydney to Papeete voyage on Riviera. It’s a cruise line I choose to return to and often recommend.

But here’s the truth. I regularly hear from viewers who board expecting something extraordinary… and leave wondering what all the hype was about.

So in this video I’m being completely frank about five areas that are often misunderstood, where the expectations created by the marketing don’t always match what people actually experience — and importantly where that really matters and where it doesn’t.

I cover:

🚢 What Oceania actually is (and is not) in the cruise pecking order
🍽️ The reality behind “The Finest Cuisine at Sea”
🌍 Why destination focus can feel surprisingly light on board
🛳️ How “small ship luxury” changes by ship class
💵 Where costs can quickly mount beyond the fare
🎁 A loyalty trick many passengers miss
