Cruise Line: Oceania Cruises Times cruised before: 3-5
Cruise Ship: Insignia Sailed: July, 2009
Destination: Mediterranean Age: 56-65
Cabin: Outside Occasion: Annual/regular holiday
We have cruised on the Insignia before hence our return. Overall the cruise was wonderful. Couldn't beat the service or food but oh the entertainment left a lot to be desired. As with our other cruise on this line the biggest disappointment was the entertainment. Oceania need to take a good look at their cruise directors. The one on this years cruise in particular was devoid of any personality, obviously thought speaking to passengers was an occupational hazard. Most nights the shows were half empty and half of that audience were asleep.

You should try P.O. Oceana cruise ship. Entertainment, cruise director, and food excellent

Wonder if your director moved to Arcadia on Med. sailing Aug/Sept he was very poor and I hope the powers that be are made aware ot effect of poor performance by this post holder on the enjoyment of clients/guests.
