First Time Cruisers
Well we were pleasantly surprised. Like yourself we read many reviews before we left and were apprehensive as a result. Though felt quite relieved from the start that our experience would be a positive one. Our 10 day cruise was bookend-ed by 2 weeks in China and 4 days in Singapore (self travel)
Pre-cruise - good communication via email from the cruise line
very nice clean lots of storage TV with a variety of stations
Bed - mattress needed to be replaced
Bathroom - Ok size though would be tight for over weight/obese passengers
Just a big city and not a lot to offer
