We chose this cruise as it was part of a package through eCruising and it sailed into Sydney from Singapore.
From the beginning of the cruise tthings did not go well. The organisation (transfers) to the port were poorly organised. This is not Royal Caribbean’s fault but Ecruising’s . We waited at a very crowded port with no drinks, food and inadequate seating for several hours and were not ...
We went for this ship because of the advertising and the promises for the sail of a lifetime,
Instead we experienced the worst cruise ever, 3 hours in Beijing lined up to board ship,booked a Junior Suite and unlike other ships it counted for no privileges at all even though it was advertised that suites would have there own speciality dining room when we asked why we couldn't make a ...
I chose this cruise as i wanted to tour the Philippines but after paying the initial deposit the cruise changed its itinerary to Vietnam instead and I couldn’t opt out.
Having been on an earlier RCL cruise, the Legend of the Seas, I was really looking forward to RCL’s excellent level of service and care that I had come to expect – but sadly, it was a complete let down literally like chalk and ...

I now know what a herd of cattle must feel like being bullied and herded I n the journey to their slaughter.
What was planned as a “special birthday” celebration on one of the largest and prestigious cruise ships from Royal Caribbean (RC) according to their advertisements, visiting wonderful countries plus an exciting itenary, including one of the ancient wonders of the world, sadly became a ...
We chose this cruise as we really wanted a taster of Japan. Having been on a couple of RC cruises prior to this one, we were looking forward to the same level of service and care that we had come to expect - boy, we we disappointed! We were to board the ship at Tianjin, a couple of hours from Beijing. Upon arrival at the port, we discovered that there was also a Costa cruise leaving at the same ...
This cruise and the two following cruises on June 1 and June 6 were booked as an offering by Cruise 1st on a back to back basis, AND SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN OFFERED TO UK CUSTOMERS. The whole ship, including the food, and entertainment, was designed and set up to cater for Chinese and other Asian guests, NOT US. SIMPLY NOT UP TO STANDARD AND VERY VERY DISAPPOINTING. Noise level on board and ...
A terrible experience on ovation of the seas! Not a holiday!
EMBARKATION
- did an online check in and made an appointment time check in! On arrival, all this arrangement does not arrange by rci! When check with rci staff, they just tell me to line up like others of hundreds with hours of waiting on line. Rci staff said that the online appointment and check in - is just a ...
Tours very expensive with nothing to be seen
Charged 20$ for local transfers when docked and then faced over 1 hour wait to get on a bus both ways
Only had anytime dining, no set dining although we had booked for a table of 8. Again long queues to get into dining rooms.
Specifically aimed at Asian customers, although the majority non Asian and staff confirmed this was the case.
Dining ...
Just got back from the worst cruise ever! I’m so disgusted with Royal Caribbean for dropping their usual high standards on the cruise from Beijing to Hong Kong. What a waste of a lovely new ship. Terrible food and terrible service -and Royal Caribbean management should be ashamed of themselves. I can’t believe they wouldn’t treat all people equal and why the Chinese people do not deserve the ...
