Dubai to Asia Cruise Reviews

My partner and I chose this cruise based on Oceania's tag line "Best cuisine in the sea", or words to that effect. Twenty days on the ship and it was downhill from day two. The problem was the food. It was not just us, but practically every other passenger we spoke to, We have cruised on other lines, Cunard, Celebrity, Holland America, Windstar and have never been disappointed with the ...

This was our 5th Silversea Cruise and we choose it for the Itinerary. First time on the Spirit, embarkation was good, cabin great as usual. The problems started when because of Jet Lag we woke up at 3am, no internet or Tv working. This went on for 3 days. I even asked if we could move cabins and was asked" why is TV so important to you?" Wowzers, Wasnt expecting that..I said its not important ...

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 ...

Embarkation in Dubai was long. There was an issue with the check-in system which stated that passengers required a Thailand visa, which we didn't. Staff had to manually override this for each cabin, however only one person could do it, we were in line for about 45 minutes, I did hear of others being in line for 5 hours. A bit disappointed that there wasn't any champagne or juice as a welcoming ...

We were VERY disappointed with many aspects of our recent cruise from Dubai to Singapore. From what I understand there has been a huge amount of negative feedback about many aspects of this cruise by other passengers on Social Media. Boarding in Dubai We arrived at the port just before 1.00 but didn’t board until around 5.00. We got thru the Dubai immigration in less than half an ...

Unimpressed; cannot see what all the hype is about! Poor management and management processes, terrible communication and, not surprisingly, so much revolves around an App that frequently does not work or work properly and is not well thought out in terms of its functionality. Wi-Fi is ridiculously slow. We had to download an App in order to do the immigration formalities for Singapore; it took 40 ...

Lacks of food, no real dining room, to much vegan. Cabin “ like IKIA”, cheap furniture, on balcony two metal small chairs, not comfortable. Meet like rubber. 3 times ordered New York steak never eat, horrible. In cabin small bathroom without electric outlet. In cabin very dark, only two small lamps on ceiling, very difficult to see self in the mirror. Very bed entertainment. Most of ...

We have done many cruises with mainly Princess (but also NCL, MSC, Costa, HAL) and thought we would try some other cruise lines. This cruise fitted a way of going to the far east without the long flight to begin with, as we set off from Dubai. We chose a sheltered cabin and were quite happy with that (although the sheltered cabins on HAL Westerdam (our follow on cruise from Singapore) were much ...

Yikes, Silver Seas is a massive disappointment. I have sailed with Crystal, Oceania, Regent, and Seabourn and I was looking forward to Silver Seas but it was a big let down. There is nothing redeeming about the ship and I would strongly recommend any other line. Three Big Issues: 1) World Cup- it was sold as a World Cup cruise. A few weeks before the cruise they send a notice to say Qatar ...

Firstly the ship was only two thirds full and we were on board for 28 days. If you paid half of what they asked it would be still expensive and not value. The Seishin restaurant is supposed to be Japanese themed with a surcharge of US$40 per head. The Wagyu beef which is supposed to be marbled was not and the Miso soup was like beef broth. Any resemblance to Japanese was coincidental. The ...
