Today, i'm embarking on my first luxury cruise aboard the Oceania Vista, Oceania's brand new ship for a 10 day voyage around the Mediterranean. This voyage will also be the most expensive cruise I have ever taken! So, does Oceania and their brand new ship live up to the price tag and their flashy marketing efforts, or is the whole experience even worth the high price associated. Join me today for a honest review!

    The spa being no-access for cabins below a certain level is INSANE. Genuinely, what an awful idea.
  • @wawa-tw5ji
    cant belive they made a Hatsune Miku- style Whitney Houston show
  • @FoxIord
    A running theme I've noticed with these videos is that you should start ordering whatever Emmy does. It seems like you're always getting the short end of the stick with food selection lol.
  • I see Jake is experiencing the “ship within a ship” era of cruising where they just cordon off sections for people to pay more. Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, and Celebrity along with others are doing this

    Don't pull your punches, BST. A steak isn't cooked perfectly if it's also chewy and bland. Also, that's an OUTRAGEOUS price for what you received. I was cruise hunting over the weekend and found a 23-day transatlantic cruise from London to Boston for the same amount.

    When I was on Ocania I was the youngest passenger at 42

    I've never even been near a ship before, yet I still can't stop watching your reviews of them. So nice of you to gift a trip to your mom! edit: having a casino on board at that price is absolutely wild lmao, really gotta get money from those older people I guess
  • That Whitney Houston event is so embarrassing, I cannot see why they would EVER greenlight something like that. Puppeteering around a dead singer's likeness is just ghoulish. Clearly they have people hired as entertainers, so...why?? Couldn't they just have had their actual singers do covers of her songs if they really wanted a Whitney Houston concert? There's just no ethically sound justification for grafting on a real person's face to a dancer's body imo. This is exactly why hologram based performers like Hatsune Miku are characters. Hatsune Miku is literally just the name for the synthetic voice program -- she's basically like if the concept of guitars had an anime character figurehead. Keeping it character only means that they can't, y'know, die, and so it never crosses into that exploitive/uncanny threshold.

    I'm actually baffled to hear there's NO food served at certain times. I just got back from my 5th Royal Caribbean cruise a few weeks ago and there is ALWAYS food somewhere. Especially pizza overnight, lol.
  • @mrsgrievous
    Now that I'm almost 40, the lectures are the most appealing part of the cruise
  • @Alloyman6419
    Well done Jake... Putting the cruise experience aside, you can't put a price on helping your mom achieve one of her dreams 👏
  • @Alex-cw3rz
    2:07 is it just me or am I the only person who thinks that staircase looks quite nice and at least not ugly
  • @Zizumia
    I was fully expecting your segment about the internet transitioning to a VPN ad 😂
  • @margotk538
    I understand that if the cruise itinerary has many port days, and with the older folks, they are going to be light on entertainments and shows as the older folks sleep early and are exhausted from the port activities. A library and art space and even a casino is more of their taste. Some old folks love their slot’s machine.
  • @renschick463
    that Blurred Lines shot was SOOO real- i audibly laughed 🤣
  • @WDWCentral
    Can’t believe they named a bar after one of your abandoned Videos: Horizons
  • @jemmah4723
    I thought you were being a bit harsh with this review, then you revealed the price! 😮 I can see why you weren’t that impressed when they are charging 11k for 2 people!
