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: ...
We’ve cruised on this ship before from HK to Singapore a few years ago and had an excellent holiday.
We can’t believe how poor the bar service was on this trip. Same in the dining room lack of bodies. I was left a feedback form from the Hotel Director Vlado, in fact completed two but no response so herein lies the problem. One day I counted 9 people awaiting service by the pool bar with one ...
This was our first cruise with Oceania and a small ship. It was great we could stop at places that larger ships do not visit.
Staff and food were really excellent, but the entertainment was not as good or varied as a bigger ship can provide.
Our cabin was on Level 7 (A1Concierge Veranda) and it was disappointing to discover our hand basin was cracked, the soap dish was badly chipped and then ...
Welcome to the Hotel California cruise. You can check out anytime you want - but you can never leave.
This review focuses on the 2nd of the back to back cruises around Asia, but will include comments on specific areas common in both cruises.
The good bits remain - most service staff are excellent and we enjoyed our interactions with staff in the Magnums bar and both main dining rooms. ...
Just completed Manila to Port Klang cruise as first of back-to-back.
First the good bits. Most of the service staff are fantastic - wait staff, stateroom attendants and bar staff are friendly and efficient. They aim to provide a quality service. Food is generally excellent at this price point. Actually better than expected but we didn't go near the buffet which always looked chaotic and the ...
We chose this cruise so that we could visit friends in Sri Lanka. we upgraded to a suite which I found, particularly small. Cutbacks are very noticeable.
Even at the daily quiz, there were no prizes given for the winners anymore, like a keyring or a hat.
Too much room is taken up with the art auction.
Staff did not seem as happy as usual
. food in the buffet was very samey.

This was our second celebrity cruise (the first on Infinity in S.America which was awful in early 2023) review online here, we thought about cancelling this cruse when we returned but we wanted to visit the ports and had this booked since 2019 and we would give Celebrity another try as we are further into the restart.
Overall this was a much better experience then our previous Celebrity cruise ...
This was our 21st cruise. Having sailed before with Princess, Celebrity and Cunard.
We chose this cruise firstly for the itinerary and secondly for the fact that this was supposed to be a luxury cruise.
We searched and searched and could not find the luxury that was supposed to be aboard this vessel. In fact what we found was a ship in need of modernising and updating. The ships overall ...
This was a cruise to Asia, cruising with a close friend and our wives. The ports were interesting, and tours were OK. Highlights included stops in Vietnam and Boracay in the Philippines, also stops in Malaysia, Brunei, Taiwan and Singapore. There were a number of ports which required use of tenders, which were generally OK.
There were some silly issues with the crew, which the Captain, who ...
service extremely good.
food extremely bad. first night ordered fish. tried to cut with a fork - fork bounced off fish. complained to manager - returned fish.
headline guest entertainers very good.
house singers good but production numbers dont do them justice.
house band very good
lounge bands extremely bad - cant hear female singers bad (no voice)
excursions so so - went to ...
