Booked this cruise because of the incentives offered as the fact that only 4 sea days were included in the itinerary. The excursions offered at the various ports were less than average in most cases. We booked an excursion in Cambodia that was the worst excursion I have ever taken. We visited a poor run down school, a Cambodian home and a dirty market place. Overall the country is very dirty with trash thrown everywhere. We also took an excursion in Taiwan that included visiting their national museum and the monument dedicated to Chang kei check. The museum was overcrowded and we had little time to see the exhibits. We even a shorter time at the monument.

The ship was going in for 14 day dry dock after our cruise. This a good thing because it diffently needs some attention in many areas.

Overall the food was less than average in the tsar palace dining room. The service was slow and inattentive. The food in the buffet was much better. Read more
