The Good -
This is a smaller ship so slightly more personal touch than the larger ships and you will meet the same people and recognize faces fairly quickly. The facilities on board are fairly limited compared to the more modern larger ships but none the less still very good.
The restaurants in particular Luminae for suite guests were very good - slightly limited standard menu but the food ...
For the first time we were in a suite . Corfu midship. Beautiful stateroom ….great big bathroom! We loved it! Business class at sea! Breakfast in Sabatinis was a treat . The staff there were fantastic. Even sang Happy Birthday to my husband with a candle in a muffin!
Dinners at night were very good …the lamb dishes especially.
There were not enough sea days to enjoy the ship! Ports were ...
We chose this cruise because having travelled extensively both by land and sea through Asia we hadn’t touched on Indonesia other than Borneo and the itinerary appealed to us.
Embarkation was quick and efficient and we were able to access our stateroom immediately. The ship was lovely and very easy to negotiate our way around it. Public areas had lots of seating and were all aesthetically ...
This cruise was cancelled twice due to covid, but we finally got to do it in January.
We embarked in Bali, and was very impressed with the organisation and friendliness of the staff.
The cabin, balcony, and beds were comfortable, and adequate.
The trips were quite expensive, and usually ended in a shopping experience! But that isn’t unusual.
A couple of days into the cruise, we were ...
Our first time in the Far East and I was a little apprehensive about this cruise but from the moment of arriving in Kuala Lumpur for pre cruise stay we felt very welcomed and safe. Glad we had a couple of days to explore this great city.
We picked this itinerary solely for our bucket lists, there were plenty of ticks! We knew Jewel was getting on, but she certainly wasn’t showing her 19 years ...
To be fair the choice of this cruise was mine, to celebrate a significant birthday and then explore a part of the world I have always wanted to see. The itinerary was very attractive, as was the price when we booked. I was also drawn to the size of Westerdam, being a small ship. First things first, the lead up to the cruise was a daily argument with Holland America over needing visa's for some of ...
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 ...
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.
