China Cruise Reviews

Absolutely Stunning!! This was our first ever cruise. There were a lot of negative reviews about this ship that I read however I can categorically confirm that very little of them came to fruition. Now this was our first ever cruise so have nothing to compare it to. We come from NZ and were prepared to be a minority nationality which helps. Crew onboard were outstanding and could not ...

Serenade is a beautiful ship packed with charm, its crew can’t do enough for the guests, and the standard of food and beverages is up there with some of the best hotels I’ve stayed at. It would be great if the pool levels had some kind of middle ground between being 10 centimetres deep and being 6 foot 8 inches deep. There wasn’t anywhere I could actually swim and be able to touch the bottom. ...

This cruise for us started in Bali, Indonesia and ended in Kobe Japan. Amazing visiting so many different countries…….Seabourn does it right, guest speakers to prepare you and then great excursions. Weather in spring perfect, very little rain. We even experienced a few earthquakes , seeing s we were travelling in the ring of fire. Cabins very comfy, bathrooms double sink, separate shower and ...

Debated whether it was a 4* or a 5. Lets say 4.5 and round it up. Itinerary was Tokyo to Tokyo with stops in Japan, Korea and China. Pre Cruise (included) - We did our own air and transfers. Added 2 days on our own to the hotel @ $450 a night. The pre cruise tours were organized by Destinations Asia and had an American in the front doing all the managing and announcements. Worked well ...

Cruising is a game of expectations as with most things in life. Having previously sailed on freestyle ships, that are often looked down on, we expected a little more from our first Holland America experience. So this review is more related to how we were disillusioned with “traditional old school” cruising. Embarkation in Hong Kong. Not a drop of water or morsel of a snack for guests waiting ...

We cruise a lot and travelled on the Holland America line before covid and it was fine. However this most recent trip was disappointing and an exercise in money-grabbing. The menu did not change the entire trip, that is to say French onion soup was the ONLY soup on offer for the duration - how difficult is it to make another type of soup? On the first day I asked for the herring but was told it ...

I sailed on the 180 day Around the World cruise on Insignia. Overall it was a good experience but not more than average. Service, dining and most excursions were excellent. Staff adjusted to our ever changng itinerary ( Middle East conflict ) with grace and humor. The main drawback was the ship itself. Insignia, for me is faded, outdated, lacking expected contemporary conveniences and ...

I chose the 20 night trip from Mumbai to Singapore, especially looking forward to revisiting the Maldives, and generally having tours which gave experiences out of the norm. I particularly wanted to treat myself to some top-notch cuisine. Oh dear, what a mistake. There were good points. The cabin was usual size, clean, comfortable. Storage fine for one person, but inadequate for two. BUT ...

All in all this was a GREAT cruise! The crew and the food were outstanding. I guess last years' GWV left a lot to be desired and HAL really listened. There were TONS of special food events and parties and other fun things. The Super Bowl party was over the top excellent. The overall entertainment was really good. Plenty of guest speakers and local entertainers. The GWV band was PHENOMANAL ...

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 ...
