First time with the Queen Mary 2 doing SYD-SIN. We have been with Royal Carribean Allure of the Seas and Aida Blue. First time coming in we have visited the pursers office to ensure we don't get charged their hefty daily room service charge.. then next day the charges were applied to our room... anyways we got this fixed right away by visiting them.. no worries. We were charged again though ...
Having taken over 35 Celebrity Cruises, we love the brand. That's so true that we splurged for a Royal Suite. Don't make that mistake. The extra large balcony, which should be enticing, had rust throughout, major grout issues, furniture that had to be removed because it was unstable and much more. The cabin is an excellent size but the ship is aging so fast that the pillows and couches were, ...
This was our 14 th cruise with various lines but our first with celebrity. We did 3 nights in Singapore at the beginning of our cruise and added 3nights in Hongkong after the cruise.
Certainly Hongkong is a must see city worthy of anyone’s wish list.Having said that so is Singapore.
The cruise was everything we could have hoped for .Cabin was concierge deck 9 with good size balcony.Solstice ...
For the first time we were in a suite . Corfu midship. Beautiful stateroom ….great big bathroom! We loved it! Business class at sea! Breakfast in Sabatinis was a treat . The staff there were fantastic. Even sang Happy Birthday to my husband with a candle in a muffin!
Dinners at night were very good …the lamb dishes especially.
There were not enough sea days to enjoy the ship! Ports were ...
It was our 50th wedding Aniversary.Boarded 6/2/2024 Singapore to Singapore through Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam. We were so disappointed with the lack of hygiene and infection control. There were no hand sanitizer in lobby were lifts were and the hand washing bays in the buffet area were not being used in the beginning. When Gastro came to staff attention on the 17/2/2024, things changed. All of a ...
To be fair the choice of this cruise was mine, to celebrate a significant birthday and then explore a part of the world I have always wanted to see. The itinerary was very attractive, as was the price when we booked. I was also drawn to the size of Westerdam, being a small ship. First things first, the lead up to the cruise was a daily argument with Holland America over needing visa's for some of ...
Visa Services: told to get a Chinese visa by Holland at a cost of $1000; ship offered them for free while underway. Guest Services barely apologized and offered no compensation. Excursions: over half the guides didn't speak English well enough to answer questions or give commentary, visited sites were repetitive and boring. It was clear Holland had done no quality control on their excursions or ...
Joined the ship in Singapore, embarkation a bit clunky not as smooth as others we’ve experienced but overall ok. Luggage delivered promptly and all in tact.
We had a balcony stateroom on deck 8, pleasantly surprised by the size and particularly the shower was much better than many, plenty of room. Lots of storage in our room, AC worked well, spacious balcony with comfortable chairs, very large ...
Wanted to visit this part of Asia.
Started off in Singapore with 2 nights in a hotel, loved it but very expensive.
Arrived on Solstice and first impressions was she is getting old and quite run down. Cabin furniture old and worn and balcony really shabby - chairs not at all inviting. Beds were comfortable and linen clean.
Most of the ports we stopped at were industrial, with a couple in ...
We are on a cruise in Asia from Singapore to Hong Kong and have to describe the experience as distinctly average. The staff are great and the food is plentiful.
The boat is ok if a little old fashioned and frayed at the edges.
However what we found quite remarkable is how things you would expect to be part of an expensive all exclusive package are extras. Wow do they know how to charge: ...
