Asia Cruise Reviews

The following are my comments after disembarking: A group of 15 of us thought we could travel together happily, but we were extremely angry. . . . 1. The hull is a bit old and rust can be seen in many places. 2. You only have to eat 4 meals a day (breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner). There was no supper. 3. The food was basically the same for three days. The breakfast is 90% the ...

Visa Services: told to get a Chinese visa by Holland at a cost of $1000; ship offered them for free while underway. Guest Services barely apologized and offered no compensation. Excursions: over half the guides didn't speak English well enough to answer questions or give commentary, visited sites were repetitive and boring. It was clear Holland had done no quality control on their excursions or ...

I booked Costa Serena Cruise from Malaysia (Port Klang - Penang - Phuket), travelled on 19-22 Jan 2024 and I felt this was the worst cruise experience ever. I paid USD1000 plus (premium balcony) for 2 pax. RC and Genting Cruise rooms facilities are far better. Costa rooms lack toiletries, with only soap and pulp body shower gel (syampoo/body gel all in) available, a small bathroom, no coffee ...

This was the first time our family have ever gone for a cruise. Hwajing the organiser in working partnership with costa - bad management. With thousands of guests checking in, all stuck at the dining area with the reason with (rooms were not ready yet) it was chaos. Rooms carpet bit smelly & dusty, toilet is bit clogged Food was really not fantastic, we are vegetarian and the choice of ...

Do not i repeat, do not book an norwegian/oceana cruise. You have been warned we are on the around the world cruise currently. the cruise is 196 days from miami florida to new york. It is utterly a complete disappoint. If i was to write every disappointment, we have experienced up to now it would be 10 pages. We are going to try to condense it. First, they advertises the best cuisine at sea. That ...

Cruise review I consider myself to be a fit and healthy 32 year old. Yet on this 10 night cruise I did not stand a chance !!!! I managed to catch not one but two viruses - gastro and the flu. So I was out for most of it and truly devastated. It was not surprising as staff do not enforce any hygiene protocols. Passengers used their hands to rummage and collect food in the buffet (multiple ...

Oceania bills itself as luxury cruising with gourmet dining. It misses both those marks by lack of attention to the details that separate luxury from everyday. The very first impression is when you are checked in. Instead of entering into a beautiful lobby, you are herded into the back door by the Regatta Lounge. Instead of actually going into the lounge, a staff member briefs a group on the life ...

I choose this cruise because I was looking forward to exploring and getting to know SE Asia. It was a terrible experience overall. The ports of call were in dirty, large cities where it was difficult to get out of the city areas without taking long bus rides. The tours were long, boring and we could barely understand the guides. When we went to the shore excursion desk, they didn't know anything ...

This was our 11th cruise and 2nd princess (1st experience was Emerald Princess in September 2022 and was excellent) but was the worst ever. 1. Waiting for 2 hour at Yokohama even everything done online but to pick up the medallion. Suggest to narrow the check in window to minimize overcrowding passenger during peak hours. 2. Water shuttle horrible. Some disrespectful passengers picked up ...

Point of embarkation was in Manila, this was the beginning of the nightmare in this cruise . Very chaotic embarkation. Port was too old and doesn’t meet international standards . No porters and we had 6 luggages we had to literally push through inside the building . Check in took very long and the representative made 2 mistakes 2x interchanging me and my sister’s pictures and personal info even ...
