About this cruise: We love the itinerary and were blessed with good weather. Temperature was hot and humid as expected but no major tropical storm or typhoon.

We flew to Hong Kong first, spent 3 days there, and then flew to Singapore. We stayed in Ritz-Carlton in Marina Bay for 1 night, and then boarded the ship. Embarkation (around 12:45pm) was smooth and efficient. The pier in Singapore is new, modern and extremely efficient. Staffs greeted us right at the front of the Terminal. Our luggage was taken from us right there and we just had to lineup to check in. We were in our cabin within 30 minutes. The fastest embarkation we ever had.

Since we were booked in the Aqua class, we have a designated restaurant called Blu reserved just for this class with open seating. We love this restaurant and never found their service slow. Their French Onion Soup was the best we ever had on a cruise ship, better than those served on Crystal. For breakfast, we were served at our table (no lineup) and had freshly squeezed orange juice every time. Coffee was good as well. Shower in the cabin was also a lot more enjoyable, with glass shower door instead of shower curtain. Bed was comfortable and the room quite spacious. Unfortunately, this cabin was very noisy at night because it was located right underneath the whirlpool area. We would not choose mid-ship next time on this deck. Our cabin steward, Antonio and his assistant Simeon were absolutely fantastic. Renato, the matre D in Blu was also great. We also enjoyed the Specialty Dining Room Olympic and Qsine. We purchased the 3-night Specialty Dining package, which offered a discounted rate. However, we found out later that we could have negotiated an even better rate once on board, especially on port nights.

Cabin Review

Cabin 1A

This cabin is located right underneath the whirlpool area. We found it very noisy at night. We heard footsteps way past midnight but when we went upstairs to investigate, there was no one around. We never figured out where the noise came from. If you want to book the Aqua class cabin, don't choose mid-ship.
