Oceania Riviera receives high praise for its exceptional service, outstanding food, and beautiful, well-maintained ship. Most guests highlight the attentive staff, luxurious accommodations, and overall relaxing atmosphere. However, there are recurring criticisms regarding the quality and value of excursions, inconsistent entertainment, and outdated or unreliable internet. Some guests also mention issues with port changes and occasional service lapses. Despite these drawbacks, the majority of reviewers consider the cruise experience to be top-tier, with many expressing intentions to sail with Oceania again.
Service on the Riviera is consistently described as attentive, friendly, and professional, with many guests feeling pampered and well cared for. Staff are often singled out for going above and beyond, though a few reviews mention uneven service or lapses during busy sailings.
