Asia Luxury Cruises Reviews

A cruise from Otaru to Osaka was what we took. Ship is well appointed tho staterooms leave little room for 2 people to move around especially if you wanted to share a drink together. Bathroom small with half tub. Entertainment on board were a singer and 2 piano players - thats it. The ports of call were very similar looking at old houses and temples. However the cherry blossoms were spectacular ...

Azamara's ships are older and beginning to show their age but are clean and well-maintained. Our wheelchair-accessible suite was comfortable with plenty of storage. The bath including roll-in shower is small but with good access. The cabin door is power operated. We found the food as good or better than expected with the exception of Aquilina. Choose Prime C instead. The main dining room is also ...

Had some reservations about Azamara as the company had changed hands since our last cruise with them. However, we were happy with the ship, cabin comfortable, excellent cabin attendant Raymond. Food good in dining room and buffet. We enjoyed the destination lectures. Agree with previous reviewer, the drummers from Kagoshima were amazing. Also the buffet on the deck before we reached ...

We chose this, our first Oceania cruise, because we wanted the itinerary, the smaller ship, and the advertised educational talks. The advertised 'best food on the ocean' was a perk, but was not necessary for us. This is what happened: Oceania didn’t provide nearly enough excursions. A whole busload of us, through our Roll Call, finally booked excursions with the only company we could get 3 ...

Had a great time on our first regent Cruise. The food and service were both excellent. We did miss not having a buffet available at dinner time. Loved the Meridian Lounge with the many choices of craft cocktails. The excursions were all very good. The only one we paid for was the trip to Hakone NP in Tokyo. Unfortunately, it was the worst weather day we had on the whole trip and we were ...

Overall, while we enjoyed our vacation, the on-board experience of the RSSC explorer failed to live up to the hype of an ‘ultra’ luxury cruise line and we will be unlikely to book again. Dining: Specialty dining was an exception to our general experience, generally being outstanding on this cruise. Service and food quality in these venues was markedly superior to main dining (Compass Rose) and ...

In my opinion: Avoid this cruise and Oceania for the following reasons: 1) horrible crowd management - 2 hour lines shoulder to shoulder for onboard immigration process; 2) bad excursion experience overall - booked, some bad guides, insufficient coverage of areas, problem with availability, 3) some excellent and some very rude and inexperienced staff. In my opinion there are much better ...

While the staff and service was excellent, the very expensive excursions were mediocre at best. Staff was very attentive and pleasant. Considering the price of the cruise itself, $800 for a drink package is outrageous. While the food in the specialty restaurants was excellent, the food in the main restaurant was mediocre as well. Difficult to make reservations in specialty restaurants. Buffet was ...

Wonderful cruise around Japan on Riviera. The redone ship is beautiful. The redone cabin and bathroom are top notch with tons of storage! I had empty drawers in both my room and in the bathroom. The new shower is far superior to the old bathtub. The food was overall excellent as was the service. The destination team had their act together on this one with enough staff to handle guests. They ...

We decided to book a cruise with Cunard again after a wonderful past experience in 2017 on the Queen Mary 2. Although our recent trip had a great itinerary, unfortunately the ship, food, beverages, entertainment & service did not measure up. Everything was ordinary, even though we paid dearly for a penthouse suite in Queen's Grill. Cunard also did not honor their own All-Inclusive Beverage ...
