We had looked forward to this cruise for 4 years due to Covid. B2B North east Asia/Southern Japan. First impressions of the ship weren’t great, she looks tired and the interiors are pretty dated (although cabin was lovely). Staff were all, without exception, very friendly and attentive. Entertainment in our opinion was second rate and repeated word for word on the second leg. We expected it ...
It was our 50th wedding Aniversary.Boarded 6/2/2024 Singapore to Singapore through Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam. We were so disappointed with the lack of hygiene and infection control. There were no hand sanitizer in lobby were lifts were and the hand washing bays in the buffet area were not being used in the beginning. When Gastro came to staff attention on the 17/2/2024, things changed. All of a ...
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: ...
This was our second cruise with Seabourn. We returned to Seabourn after an amazing cruise with them some years ago. What a disappointment second time round, so much had changed and not for the better.
Seabourn comes with a price tag and an expectation of 5 star luxury, sadly in our opinion it has dropped to 4! The attention to detail is gone, the personal touch no more, very average wines ...
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 ...
Just hated the Infinity balcony cabin. - See cabin review
However, the bathroom was delightful and a really big shower. The cabin decor is pleasant and restful.
The food in the Ocean cafe was of a high standard and tasty. Thought the dining room food was a little safe and bland. However their steaks (readily available) are absolutely excellent.
Strange how few waiters were ...
Chose it because of a offer from a friend, so it was cheaper than the listed price.
Boarding was smooth, but we soon met a whole slew of little charges here and there throughout the cruise.
Firstly, we had to queue to get a numbered table at The Lido buffet, unheard of on a cruise, supposedly for our 'dining comfort'. Later we knew why. If you went to a subsequent restaurant within the same ...
We are a retired couple who have cruised with Oceania for many years. In the past, they have been outstanding; however, recent cutbacks have resulted in our May 2023 Singapore to Dubai cruise falling well short of our expectations. Specifically:
* Although the meals were well-cooked and attractively presented, the food quality was lower. We received shrimp whose meat was mush; hard to cut ...
Excellent itinerary 16 days Singapore to Tokyo.
PRO'S - Staff good, cabin stewards great - food excellent in Princess Grills and Lido - theater shows very good - Talks overall good, Sally Gunnell was totally in command and interesting. Ship looked good after her paint job.
CON'S - Never spoke with an officer, they never made eye contact and normal walked very quickly in two's. the Captain ...
