Asia Cruise Reviews

I recently had the unfortunate experience of cruising on the Celebrity Solstice, and regrettably, my overall impression is far from positive. The cruise was marred by a series of disappointments, primarily centered around the lackluster service and subpar amenities. From the onset, the service on the ship left much to be desired. Rather than creating a relaxing environment, the staff seemed ...

NCL HORROR STORY Choose any other cruise line than NCL, what you think you are saving you will pay in disappointment. I booked a mid-east cruise in Aug.‘23 and was a prisoner on-board NCL Norwegian Dawn for 10 days after they cancelled five of eight featured/ advertised ports because of war (understandable) and because four Arab ports barred American ship entry (according to ship grape-vine). ...

I wanted to cruise in Southeast Asia. Starting poor service in transport from airport to port. Lots of bus but whoever organized the transport does not know what they’re doing. We were waiting in the hot bus for 2 hours before transported to the port. Embarkation was a pure hell, chaotic and disorganized, this is only the beginning of security in the the port not even checking in. They should have ...

Many years ago, while dining al fresco at a Rome cafe, I was startled by beggars going from table to table seeking money from customers. Imagine the sense of deja-vu then, while sitting at lunch in the buffet, a staff member is walking from table to table trying to elicit attendance at the specialty dining restaurants. This in some ways explains the culture of this cruise: #Low entry ...

We were VERY disappointed with many aspects of our recent cruise from Dubai to Singapore. From what I understand there has been a huge amount of negative feedback about many aspects of this cruise by other passengers on Social Media. Boarding in Dubai We arrived at the port just before 1.00 but didn’t board until around 5.00. We got thru the Dubai immigration in less than half an ...

We were under the impression that Regent was a luxury cruise line and we wanted to try it .Oh what a mistake that was We tried to be positive but found the food very hit or miss throughout the ship,we never truly experienced a really memorable meal The poor service was clearly down to poorly trained and shortage of staff The excursions provided by Regent that we booked on were an absolute ...

Lacks of food, no real dining room, to much vegan. Cabin “ like IKIA”, cheap furniture, on balcony two metal small chairs, not comfortable. Meet like rubber. 3 times ordered New York steak never eat, horrible. In cabin small bathroom without electric outlet. In cabin very dark, only two small lamps on ceiling, very difficult to see self in the mirror. Very bed entertainment. Most of ...

We chose Regent because of reputation, word-of-mouth, travel agent recommendation and I wanted to do something special for my wife's 70th. Our strongest possible advice if you are considering Regent for your next sailing is to look at anyone else first - particularly perhaps Silversea or any other decent line. Regent are a thing of the past. Dreadful pre-cruise organization of travel and ...

That’s the sound of our hopes and dreams crashing…we had anticipated this trip for several years. Regents promises (taken from its website” exquisite meals, refined service and exhilarating shore excursions” but we found it was anything but. The rooms in the boat are very nice, but that’s where the luxury stops. The food was not up to standard and the tours were not well thought out; it ...

Pre-Cruise: This was our 18th cruise and our 3rd with NCL. We selected back to back cruises because of the itineraries, intensive Japan and Philippines beginning in Tokyo and ending in Singapore. Within 24hrs of booking with our travel agent an NCL representative phoned us to check the contents of our package and begin the upselling process. This caused some confusion regarding what our package ...
