Pros: Riviera is a beautiful ship that is just large enough to provide every amenity but still small enough to give friendly, personal service. We especially like the large, roomy shower and luxurious bed and bedding. The food and restaurant options are also outstanding!
Cons: We were disappointed that we could not get reservations in the speciality restaurants without having to share a table. While we don't mind meeting other travelers and ocassionally sharing, we had to sit at tables of 8 for two of our speciality dinners which slows the meal considerably.

For the first time in our five Oceania Cruises we were disappointed to an extent. Visiting Southeast Asia, particularly the Chinese controlled region is a bit difficult and frustrating. Our internet was essentially blocked and not available for nearly a week, language and communications were difficult and on two occasions 'money exchanges' attempted to steal through the exchange process. Acceptance of American credit cards is inconsistent. The one negative comment I'd make is that Riviera's internet definitely needs to be upgraded. There was widespread frustration among the guests about it, when we were away from the Chine 'influence'.
Pros: The Riviera and The Staff, the food and the beautiful ship.
Cons: Communications, Currency Exchange, Internet

My husband and I spent 12 nights on the Riveria for our trip to Japan. The ship has been renovated in the past coupe of years and is just beautiful. Every area of the ship has something to offer its passengers such as cooking classes,art, bingo etc. The dining room is absolutely beautiful with a different menu every night and if your not happy with that you can go up to the 12th floor, the outdoor cafe and eat grilled steak, lobster,shrimp baby lamb chops and an assortment of different foods. This is I think my third time using Oceania and have never been dissatisfied.
Pros: The ship satisfies all your needs and more
Cons:

It was a fantastic first time for us sailing on the Riviera. We just felt it was the best way to travel and see the ports we did. We have already booked 2024 and 2025 cruises.
Pros: Great accommodations, personal service, fabulous food
Cons: None

I love the ship and all the friendly staff who make the experience great. The General Manager invited us to dinner at Privee as I am a platinum member of the Oceania club. Several lovely cocktail parties were hosted by the senior staff. Due to bad weather and high winds we missed two ports as couldn’t guarantee a safe arrival and departure. Immediately they got together and planned many activities aboard. A cooking demonstration, speakers, golf in the Martinis bar, trivia, and other activities.
Pros: The food is amazing with specialty restaurants at no charge
Cons: Cant think of anything negative.
