We chose this cruise to tick off another bucket list destination, Japan. After booking this cruise I then read all the reviews about how bad it was with so many of the cruisers being Chinese etc. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, the embarkation was not so much chaotic as it was interesting. Obviously with 4800 passengers it wasn't going to be a quick process but still was in the ...

After reading many terrible reviews on the Quantum of the Seas it was with some trepidation that we embarked on our recent cruise. While there were some issues, which I will outline below, we had a very enjoyable cruise experience overall. This was our 12th cruise and 2nd with Royal Caribbean. The Ship The ship itself is perhaps the most impressive and well designed that we have sailed on. ...

A terrible cruise experience with bad itinerary, bad service, and bad food

We booked the cruise mainly to see Mount Fuji and Tokyo, but Royal Caribbean cancelled the port near Mt Fuji without any justifiable reason. The time in Tokyo was extended but no trips to see Mt Fiji were offered. Embarkation was a marathon with Royal Caribbean showing no concern with having passengers standing in the blazing sun for a long period and then slowly snaking towards the ship ...

Pre-Cruise: We spent 3 nights in Shanghai at Les Suites Orient on the Bund. Great hotel, and amazing views of the Bund from the 20th floor. If you stay there, I recommend a high-floor, Bund view Deluxe room. Shanghai is an amazing city. Very clean. Super modern. No horns honking ($30 fine). Chinese food and drink surprisingly poor with some exceptions, but we had a fantastic time. Did some ...

Warning This is an extremely lengthy review but detailed based on my personal experiences on my sailing date of August 16-23, 2018. There are section headings so feel free to skip ahead if it gets too wordy. I learn so much from the information others have shared and I like to give back to the CC community. I find that the Quantum reviews were really lacking while I was doing my information ...

We flew into Shanghai and were driven straight to the cruise port (previously arranged with 'China highlights' - who were excellent). We then had to stand in queues for nearly three hours to board the ship, so many processes. Normally its between 30 minutes and an hour, not so for this cruise, even though we are Emerald members and had booked a Junior suite. Once on board the ship itself is ...

Firstly, I have travelled with RCI on around 12 cruises all over the world and have found them to be amongst the best in class. The staff respond magnificently to any concern or query you may have so most things are resolved quickly. I read some reviews before going on the Shangai - Japan cruise, mostly the professional critics (Liz Jarvis et al) and knew that the population would be mostly ...

Thought it would be Cool to see China and Japan But between Chinese and Japanese immigration and a crappy cuise director and staff on quantum this vacation sucked, I will say after 15 cruises on RCCL this one really disappointed. First we traveled to Shanghai from Chicago which went great, Once we got into China Immigration took about an hour using the 144 hr transit Visa, we then arrived at ...

We were excited to be on the Quantum, our biggest and newest RC cruise yet, but had read about the culturally immersive experience on board and were prepared to face unending crowds, crazy elevator situations, and pushy behavior. I am happy to report that the ship is stunningly beautiful, the crew are extremely professional, and the cross-cultural experience was a great learning opportunity. ...

My husband and I chose this cruise as we really wanted to relax on a cruise and enjoy the sights of Japan. What we got was an overcrowded cruise which was geared towards the Chinese market, the trips off the boat were rushed and we saw very little of Japan. Trying to find a seat in the always busy Windjammer restaurant was a challenge, our food was often cold by the time we got to sit down. ...
