This is our 11th cruise between RCI & Carnival. We love cruising but this was overall the most disappointing cruise we've ever been on despite a beautiful ship. Way too many children running everywhere on this ship with 0 supervision. What I love about cruises normally is the ficus on kids zone keeping them away from playing & running a muck in all the common areas.
We also always book our ...
We were scheduled to cruise on Spectrum before the Pandemic, it was of course cancelled so this was our first cruise after reopening of the industry. We were lucky to book the Christmas cruise, we were 24 in our group, including toddlers, teenagers up to Senior Citizens. One Senior in our group had a knee accident a few days before the cruise, so we had to bring a wheelchair with us. ...
My wife and I originally planned a cruise which started in Japan and culminated in Singapore back in April of 2020. COVID shut down the industry, when reopened we decided to incorporate a shorter voyage of 4 days with a visit to Singapore in December of 2022. This was our first overseas vacation after COVID the start of COVID, our 19th overall cruise and second on Royal Caribbean. We previously ...
After previous plans to celebrate our 40th Anniversary fell through, this cruise fitted the time frame. We wanted something special so booked a Junior Suite. It turned to a nightmare when our booking was canceled a day later (no one explained how) and there were no other suites available. Thankfully our travel agent and RCI helped us snatch a Golden Junior Suite when it became available later that ...
We loved this ship, although it is geared to the Asian market we really enjoyed it.
The facilities are excellent and the decor is very tasteful. The buffet had a very good selection with food of a high standard. The main dining room and service were also very good. Our balcony cabin was tastefully furnished with an excellent layout for storage and space. The crew were professional, ...
Booked the cruise just 2 weeks before as I was due some leave and the fares were cheap. I have cruised on many different cruise lines from RC to Princess, Celebrity, Cunard and Crystal. This would be my 5th RC cruise and I already knew to lower my standards as I had done 2 cruises out of Singapore on Quantum of the Seas in the last 1 year and they were not great. However, this is the worst cruise ...
First time on the spectrum sailing from Singapore, previously had sailed on Quantum a couple of times so this review will use that as a benchmark.
General:
- The ship is pretty new and it was obvious. The condition of the furnishing and decor was great and the cabins felt very new.
- I had the surf and stream wifi package, it was good for the most part although it went down for around ...
We booked a Junior Suite. At first we wanted to book direct from Royal Caribbeans, but they do not have staff in Singapore to help. For any call, they always put customers on long wait. After calling several times, they had a couple of personnel who finally answered calls. We thought they would be able to answer questions about the ship before we decide on the deck/cabin. However, to our ...
I planned a sightseeing trip to Singapore and wanted to include a relaxing cruise on a RCCL ship while I was there. This was a four night cruise to nowhere.
As a solo traveller, I stayed in an inside cabin on deck 11. The cabin was spacious and included a king size bed and a lounge suite. The bathroom was adequate and it included a glass shower screen, not a curtain. This is a nice feature of ...
This is the first time I travelled on cruise booking into the Loft suite, departing from Singapore 13th Sept 2021 for 4D3N cruise to nowhere.
Compared to my previous cruise experiences booked into balcony rooms, I was pretty disappointed with my Loft Suite experience.
Other than the exclusive Coastal restaurant and lounge use, almost all other activities require queuing with no preferential ...
