The vessel was being "disinfected" thoroughly as a pre-caution, the boarding process was therefore chaotic and abysmally handled. No one was able to access their staterooms until 4.00pm, the cruise Director "Steve" announced that everyone could access the bars and restaurants whilst waiting for their accommodation to become available, which was not too much of an inconvenience as we had arrived in Singapore the previous day and were well rested, however, they had the audacity to charge people for drinks, during this period of inconvenience, we were soon to realise that this cruise line is all about "added costs". We have travelled extensively on Seabourn and more recently sailed on the new Royal Princess in Europe, a far better cruise experience.
