5 previous Oceania cruises in Penthouse and Oceania Suites - no noise problems at any time. Oceania Suites were deck 12 forward, PH forward to mid ship.

By researching and carefully choosing your suite location.

We were mistaken, bow thrusters are at the front of the ship. Our concern is vibration and engine noise. The suite is on deck 8.

We are considering booking an Owner’s Suite on Riviera and have concerns about bow thruster noise. Can anyone who has sailed in this suite please speak to the noise level. Did you enjoy the suite and location?

Thank you for your review. We have only sailed Oceania and have always loved every cruise . We booked our first Silversea cruise for next year based on itinerary. I know that this is an Oceania board, but could you please share the reasons that you were disappointed with Silversea.

We booked this cruise a year and a half ago as a 65th birthday cruise. It was such a nice itinerary with both Corsica and Sardinia. Very, very disappointed!

Thank you for your detailed “ new eyes” review of Oceania. I thoroughly enjoyed your perspective and humor ! Oceania is the only line that I have have cruised on (5 cruises) and my Med Cruise was by far the favorite. I am curious to know why you rated your butler 9 instead of 10, if you don’t mind sharing.

You need to post dates and the ports that you are visiting to get help here 😊

During a cruise earlier this month on Sirena the destination services representative put us on a “paid” waitlist to upgrade from a PH to an OS on our June 24 cruise. I looked at the cruise last week and saw that 2 OS suites were open. Oceania did not contact us. I called our TA and had her grab one for us. Lesson learned!

Thank you golf guy. I really appreciate the helpful tips & info!

We will be disembarking at the Miami cruise port in February. Delta moved our 1PM flight to noon 😣 What is the average time for getting off the ship and then getting through customs? From what I have read on this board disembarking can be a very slow, unorganized mess. Does Customs allow Global Entry or use facial recognition technology?
