We are on a cruise in Asia from Singapore to Hong Kong and have to describe the experience as distinctly average. The staff are great and the food is plentiful.
The boat is ok if a little old fashioned and frayed at the edges.
However what we found quite remarkable is how things you would expect to be part of an expensive all exclusive package are extras. Wow do they know how to charge: ...
Wanted to visit this part of Asia.
Started off in Singapore with 2 nights in a hotel, loved it but very expensive.
Arrived on Solstice and first impressions was she is getting old and quite run down. Cabin furniture old and worn and balcony really shabby - chairs not at all inviting. Beds were comfortable and linen clean.
Most of the ports we stopped at were industrial, with a couple in ...
Joined the ship in Singapore, embarkation a bit clunky not as smooth as others we’ve experienced but overall ok. Luggage delivered promptly and all in tact.
We had a balcony stateroom on deck 8, pleasantly surprised by the size and particularly the shower was much better than many, plenty of room. Lots of storage in our room, AC worked well, spacious balcony with comfortable chairs, very large ...
This was a back-to-back sailing for us. Our previous cruise was 12 days on Celebrity which ended in Singapore where this cruise was embarking. Royal Caribbean had been our favorite cruise line until we took the celebrity cruise. Throughout the years, the changes in Royal Caribbean have been more negative than positive to us. The long lines, the scarcity of available tables at the breakfast buffet, ...
This is for the cruise ship and crew only!
Everything you have read in other reviews is true.
We have traveled on 5 River cruise
THE CD, The crew, the Food and Ship was the BEST we have experienced!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The full pool was unexpected but very appreciated .The crew had our names and drinks remembered the first two hours of the cruise. The Itinerary was VERY interesting
The ...
We took this 4 night cruise prior to another cruise just to go to Phuket.
The staff was wonderful and the ship was in good repair.
The food was average but nothing spectacular. On our last few RC cruises we have been disappointed with food not being hot/cold.
There is not an indoor bar with a view outside. Being in Asia 90 degrees & 80% humidity that is an issue.
My biggest ...
I chose the 20 night trip from Mumbai to Singapore, especially looking forward to revisiting the Maldives, and generally having tours which gave experiences out of the norm. I particularly wanted to treat myself to some top-notch cuisine. Oh dear, what a mistake.
There were good points. The cabin was usual size, clean, comfortable. Storage fine for one person, but inadequate for two. BUT ...
We chose this cruise for its easy embarkation close to home & itinerary visiting Asian capitals & islands. We travelled with another couple whom we cruise with but had not been able to for 4 years due to the pandemic. Though we have visited most of the ports on this cruise through our years of travel, we were keen to revisit to enjoy the food and local massages.
NCL is our cruise ship of ...
We did the 14 day Asia cruise on the Diamond Princess leaving from Singapore on 5th January and travelling to Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia. We chose this trip as we had done a 3 week back to back cruise back in 2016 on the sister ship, the Sapphire Princess which we loved, in particular the Atrium feature of these ships which provide a lovely meeting place for groups to meet up at.
The ...
Starting in Singapore and travelling around Malaysia, Vietnam & Thailand - this itinerary ticked a lot of boxes for my partner and I to enjoy two weeks in South East Asia with only having to unpack once!
As Australians, we have been to some of the ports below such as Phuket, Ho Chi Minh & KL - this was a great opportunity to slow down our pace compared to some of the other cruises we have been ...
