Thanks for sharing. Loving your videos!
We were on Oosterdam over Christmas and New Year and we booked a 22 night cruise for Christmas and New Year 2026/27 on the first day the cruise went on sale and it was a no brainer to have the have it all package, as we booked a verandah cabin the Have it all package was amazing we got $800 per person on board credit, $300 shore excursion credit, Crew appreciation is included, the drinks package, WiFi, 3 visits to the speciality retaurants. The extra cost of the Have it all package was more than covered by the OBC and Shore excursion credit so we thought it was excellent value and we also got an low deposit as part of the offer which was £180 each. We weren't going to book this far in advance but the deal was far to good to miss out on. when we got home the HAL cruise consultant who was assigned to us when we got home was shocked by what we had got.
Hi Cedric in UK ,well we have been cruising for the last 30 odd years so we’ve been round the block a few times, Now that we are in our 70s we have done A lot of other ships some good and some not so good 🤔,After hearing about Oceana we were thinking of going on it just for change as we like Azamara we are on it in May for the 8th time which we love 🥰,the staff are lovely and the entertainment for a small ship is lovely,With what you have said about Oceana we will pass ,the ship is identical to Azamara, also drinks are buy the sound of it cheaper ,on Azamara and all you people out there the one thing we love is the White/Party🎉 , with what goes with-it is a Barbecue like you have never seen before (you are i for a treat O BOY) .If you are thinking about a cruise you will not be disappointed.BUT do your homework on what ship ,with Utube you can walk around the ship with the ,videos ,sorry for rambling on its an age thing 🫢.were ever you go Enjoy 🛳🛳🛳🥂🥂
Wow, loved this!!! We are booked on this cruise. Music is somewhat too loud.
Thanks!🤗 Yes our later videos are more sound balanced😂 it’s all a learning curve.. ❤️
@ I signed up to see more!!
@ Mekong coming shortly, we are currently on AMA Dara and it’s amazing. Follow us on Instagram or Facebook for daily updates ❤️
I would love to do this cruise. You guys do a really good job! Can’t wait to see it!
I am amazed at how spoiled you two must be. I sailed on Oeania's Insignia and was completely satisfied with the friendliness and politeness of the staff. I'll bet you have a chef and housemaid at home.
No we disagree with you, we are definitely not spoilt. This video was of our experience and we received poor service and poor dining in the main restaurant. It is very rare for us to put a bad review on our channel, and it has to be warranted. We would rather not put feedback such as this on, however we must report back as we find. There were a number of incidents onboard, particularly involving our disabled parents, that we didn’t include in the video which were terrible. It’s great that you enjoyed Insignia, but this video isn’t about you, it’s about our experience on Sirena and we can assure you it was way below par for the price.
It is the same ship as the Azamara ships, so how would you say the overall experience compares to Azamara ?
Yes it is the same ship. Oceania have refurbished the ships better, but Azamara leave them standing on service and dining options in our experience. 🤗
@@theposhtravelblog I have a second Azamara trip on Pursuit in October from Lisbon to Capetown, so I am pleased to hear your thoughts. Thank you

There is a business class lounge at the B gates which is much quieter and nicer and if your flying out of not c gates I would always use. You don’t have to go through security and it’s 5 mins on train. I always check why plane it is before booking any flights for the seat configuration as I hate those seats on BA. The new club seats are much better. Use seat guru to check what planes are and peoples comments x
@@CarolineHall-j1y Thanks for all the info will definitely go there in the future. Wish BA had told us! 😩🤗
@ yes they should have done - not very good. Looking forward to your blogs on crystal. Look fab - are they very formal. We like Azamara and Explora journeys. Off to Japan with silversea in April but nervous as to the clients and formalness. Enjoy your trip x
@@CarolineHall-j1y Coming soon! We did put a video on Crystal Serenity around the Caribbean in December. The formal night tends to be more formal, suit or DJ or jacket and open shirt for men, and dressy for the ladies. Other nights either jacket or not for the men, shirt only is fine. Ladies tend to dress smart casual, some dress up more but personal choice. We are going to try Silversea soon but think it’s slightly more formal on there. Japan is a fascinating country like nowhere else on Earth, a really amazing experience. Have a great cruise 🚢 🎉🥂
You can use the walkways underneath and not go through security again,
Thanks, so many have told us that but BA didn’t 😩
I’m dad he taxi driver in Cambodia that pick up you to❤
@@winnchester8999 Hello! 👋🏼 thanks for a great day 🤗
Why do people say “oh she Ann a” instead of the correct way, “oh she ann EEE a”?
@@carolynshepherd4153 I Know 😩 We double checked and it’s definitely pronounced ‘Oceana’, even though it’s spelt ‘Oceania’. Might be something to do with another cruise ship calling their ship Oceania.
Did any gents wear polo shirts to dinner?
You wouldn’t feel out of place in a smart polo shirt and trousers. It was a mixture of shirt only or jackets, as long as smart or smart casual it’s absolutely fine.
If you walk back to the lounge (instead of taking the T5 train) there's no need to go through security again.
Yes lots of people have told us that now, wish we’d known sooner, BA should have told us!! 😩 .. next time!! 😂 Thanks for watching
Are Prosecco or sparklin wine included in the classic package? Thanks for answering!
Yes from memory we think they are 👍🏼
Please continue your process of describing the dishes without subjecting us to watching you eat on camera. I am not certain where folks have gotten the idea that it is required, but unless you’re Julia Child tasting it to ensure she prepared it properly, we can take your word for it afterwards that it was tasty. Or not.
Thank you. I'm going on our first Seabourn cruise this spring. The information you shared was helpful though I'm really curious about the supplement menus and a few of the menus that you mentioned/read drinks but did not share visually. Appreciate your sharing your experiences.
Traveling on Oceania for the first time this year and I really appreciate you breaking down the differences in the House Select vs the Prestige Select as well as noting the cost (plus tax and gratuity if not on one of these plans) to justify the cost of a plan. Sharing the menus was also very helpful!!!
Hi. May I ask what you use to record your videos? Thank you!
@@KenJencks yes DJI pocket 3
Have enjoyed your videos and become a subscriber. There is only one thing I’d challenge and that’s your comment about tipping. I understand you want to show appreciation and special recognition for special staff but you are spoiling this for others. You are driving up the cost of cruising. I’m sure staff on luxury ships enjoy a higher standard of remuneration than other lines. And your tipping disproportionately rewards staff that are able to make tips as compared with the below deck staff who work as hard but lack opportunity. Just my opinion.
Chef mentioned that they have to buy from approved suppliers for food (to ensure hygiene standards and food quality are met) yet he DOES buy locally - eg mentioned that he’d bought mussels that day - I wonder how he ensures that these local suppliers meet the cruise line’s hygiene and quality standards - i mean imagine if the mussels were contaminated and people got food poisoning? Great video thanks for sharing
Great informative video, whoever thought that this seat configuration was acceptable? The foot rest reminds me of a toilet seat! Have a great cruise
@@gillianmorris3502 😂😂Hilarious we hadn’t looked at it like that! The funny thing is the lady by the window clambered over me, kicked my legs, and dragged her shoes across me and didn’t even bat an eyelid or apologise! 😂😂😂😂
Very exciting! We will be on Crystal in April. Athens to Venice. Cannot wait!
We are loving Crystal, very elegant and serene. Excellent dining and service 🥂🎉
@@theposhtravelblog Love your videos! Very well done.
Congratulations on your new Partners! Posh Travel is in my opinion the absolute BEST source of great travel (Cruise) information and videos. If I may ask you - we are considering a cruise on the Regent Grandeur (which we have sailed on before) for the “English Channel Icons” cruise June 6, 2026 - June 16, 2026. Just wondered your thoughts on the itinerary of : Southampton to Saint-Malo, La Rochelle, Bordeaux and Biarritz France, as well as Bilbao and La Coruna Spain, plus Cruising the Bay of Biscay. Any thoughts appreciated by the two BEST! :)
Thanks Charles you are always so complimentary 🤗. Regent Grandeur absolutely amazing and sounds like a great cruise. We did a similar cruise on Oceania, and although we enjoyed the itinerary, we didn’t enjoy the ship. We pulled into St Malo and visited Mont St Michel, which is amazing and not to be missed! La Coruna for Santiago de Compostela to visit the Cathedral is hugely popular, but it was too rough the day we were there (supposedly, even though hardly a wave.. a bit suspicious that one) so didn’t get to see it. The other ports we haven’t visited, but we are sure they are great to visit. What we will say is Regent Grandeur handles rough seas extremely well, so a great ship to be on if the weather turns! Six Star are excellent if you are UK based, and we will have a USA partnership very shortly. Best wishes as always from us both 🥂
@ Thank you so much for your thoughts on this cruise. I look forward to the time when you get a USA Partnership!
Oh, just FYI, I currently use “LuxuryOnly” Cruises in the USA, and they specialize in cruises like Regent, Seabourn, Silversea, Viking, Crystal, Ritz Carlton and some others too.
@ Thank you! ♥️
Hi Stuart & Christina, so sorry you had a bad experience in Heathrow. It's always quieter in the lounge at the B gates so use that if you are not flying out of the A gates. There is walkway below the train that you can use to get back from the B & C gates which avoids having to go through security - unfortunately it's not well signposted ! WRT the change of plane - this is a massive problem at the moment with A380 flights due to the many problems with the reliability of these aircraft since they came out of storage after the pandemic. Best to choose a flight that runs on the new A350 or old B777 - you'll also stand a better chance of getting into the new Club Suites seats which are brilliant compared to the old Yin/Yang seats that you ended up in.
Thanks for the comments and the info on B gates, will remember that if we are ever in the same position again. Think we missed out on a great experience by being on the A380. Thanks for watching 🤗🙏🏼
You paid half price so you got half the service on a garbage aircraft
@@paultugwell9855 true!
As you started the flight from Malaga do you live there or did you take a return flight form LHR to Malaga and then transited through LHR for your flight? If so did you stay in Malaga or just go out and come straight back?
@@tracyhaddow8360 We were in Malaga at our holiday home so worked well for us and have to fly back there too 👍🏼
Love your vlogs. We just booked Singapore to Tokyo March 3, 2026 on Crystal Symphony. Looks like a wonderful itinerary. Our first cruise longer than 15 days.
Oh fabulous it really is a special cruise! Are you uk based and did you get the Fortnum and Mason champagne 🥂?! We are loving every minute, pure elegance. ♥️
Our Australian $ is very sad our exchange rate is not great 😢
Oh no 😣
This is so out of character for Oceania! I have always loved everything about them. We have a 35 night cruise coming up on Nautica. I hope this doesn't carry over to this ship!
Maybe we were unlucky, will have to try them again and one of their new ships for a change! 🥂Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
Thanks, can’t way to see the full trip video. We’ll be on Symphony March 6-18, our first ocean cruise in 10 years.
Wow! We are absolutely loving the cruise, amazing dining and the best service! Video coming soon 🥂
Yep typical BA - crap and certainly not worth the money-thank goodness you didn’t pay £5K+ to fly directly from LHR!
You should’ve been advised to use the B gates lounge… I’m not a fan of the ying yang seats rather. Safe travels!
I have no clue why they sent you back on the train, absolute disgrace. My only guess is that the staff member that told you that was brand new, and even then that is a terrible thing to happen. I would love to know if they forced you to go through the passport e gates and then go around again through security or if you were just able to go through some sort of short cut. After all people make that mistake every day but its not normally because a staff member told them to do that. BA's lounges are always busy due to the large number of status holders, on the one hand its good that its not too difficult to gain access but then that causes the problem of overcrowding. I imagine there not staffed to the level they need to be for that number of passengers. Lets be honest, its a real gamble flying with BA. They can either be excellent or absolutely awful, and the whole scuffle with the changes to their loyalty scheme is the icing on the cake. Its taking them ages to role out their new business class seat, and their old one is an antique at this point. The A380, which is generally considered a great aircraft to fly on, is probably the worst in BA's long haul fleet in business class. Anyway great video and I hope you enjoy your cruise!
Didn’t have to go through passport control but did have to do security again which was infuriating! One hour after take off and no drink, ridiculous, on Emirates you have champagne and warm cashews immediately after take off etc far superior! Won’t rush to fly BA long haul again! Thanks for watching 🤗
Thank you so much for the lovely video! I can relive the wonderful river cruise whenever I like. I will share the cruise videos to few of the passengers. Looking forward to seeing more of your travel videos! 👍🏻👏🏻❤
Thank you 🤗♥️🥂🛳️
i know this isn’t related to the video, but i just had to share this because it’s been life-changing. i kept seeing people in the comments and even my friends talking about this book, Vibrations of Manifestation by alex lane. at first, i thought it was all hype, but i finally gave in and read it. within two weeks, my life completely shifted-my dream job, better connections with people, and even my health improved. if you’ve been struggling to get where you want in life, you need to check it out
IBERIA ALSO FLY FROM TERMINAL 5.
Sounds tremendous!!
Thank you for the video. I didn’t go to the upper deck whilst I was in the cruise. Good to know what's there. 😅
Thanks
Hi, There, I was in the same cruise as you both! Great to see you here. I was in Cabin 236.

Just flew Nz/Lhr biz and the seats were horrendous. They have a mixed bad of weird seats too where you have to lie in a weird angle
