We had previously sailed on Superstar Virgo 10 years ago from Singapore and had an enjoyable cruise so that when we saw that cruise on the same ship that left from Hong Kong were thought that this would be terrific. How wrong could we be. This has been taken over by Chinese company and caters primarily for Chinese tourists. We were not given any pre-travel documentation or advice and had to google the embarkation location. The home port is now Guangzhou in China and they are in the process of changing all staff to Chinese... most of whom don't speak English. The ship no longer caters for westerners with the food being predominantly regional Chinese cuisine. This is not what we expected on an international cruise liner. There was no early or late sittings for dinner and you have to queue up with 2000 screaming and impatient Chinese to get into even the buffet area. They give preference to the Chinese and we were consistently told restaurant full and come back later. We missed having several meals on board due to incompetent staff. The ship is now set up as a gambling ship with 5 casinos on-board. The entertainment was sleazy and included strips show that were for dirty old men. The shore excursions were limited, were only conducted in Mandarin and go either to supermarkets or pharmacy. We were told by staff not to go on excursions because it was not for us. This is the first time in our cruising experience that we were pleased to get off the ship!!!
Stateroom was small with a very small balcony that had room for two chairs if placed sideways.
