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 ...
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: ...
We chose this cruise for its easy embarkation close to home & itinerary visiting Asian capitals & islands. We travelled with another couple whom we cruise with but had not been able to for 4 years due to the pandemic. Though we have visited most of the ports on this cruise through our years of travel, we were keen to revisit to enjoy the food and local massages.
NCL is our cruise ship of ...
We did the 14 day Asia cruise on the Diamond Princess leaving from Singapore on 5th January and travelling to Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia. We chose this trip as we had done a 3 week back to back cruise back in 2016 on the sister ship, the Sapphire Princess which we loved, in particular the Atrium feature of these ships which provide a lovely meeting place for groups to meet up at.
The ...
Starting in Singapore and travelling around Malaysia, Vietnam & Thailand - this itinerary ticked a lot of boxes for my partner and I to enjoy two weeks in South East Asia with only having to unpack once!
As Australians, we have been to some of the ports below such as Phuket, Ho Chi Minh & KL - this was a great opportunity to slow down our pace compared to some of the other cruises we have been ...
The food was far below our previous experiences as far as the choice of the menus, the quality of the prepared food and the description/naming of the dishes, such as using names that didn't reflect the expected dish with the corresponding name. the buffet also could use some improvement as the products were not as fresh as expected.
Also, some products such as bananas or plain oil(for ...
Cruise review
I consider myself to be a fit and healthy 32 year old. Yet on this 10 night cruise I did not stand a chance !!!! I managed to catch not one but two viruses - gastro and the flu. So I was out for most of it and truly devastated. It was not surprising as staff do not enforce any hygiene protocols.
Passengers used their hands to rummage and collect food in the buffet (multiple ...
Pre-Covid we cruised on this ship around Japan and had the very best of times. So on 23rd December 2023 we sailed from Singapore to Bali via Thailand and Malaysia. We has a 9th floor balcony room and Aqua class dining.
Days before departure Celebrity sent me an incomprehensible email about electronic on arrival visa for Bali. I spoke to Celebrity UK and was told to ignore as this was for US and ...
This cruise was chosen based on the itinerary and not the ship. If you are looking at this ship for entertainment purposes, there are other ships to consider, this one only provides a few entertainment opportunities.
If you are going for the destinations rather than the ship, then this ship will serve your purpose if you go in with the mindset that this is an older ship and the ports are the ...
My sister selected this cruise for my 70th birthday celebration. The staff in the Oceanview Dining Room and our Room Attendant Matt were good, they made the cruise enjoyable. The New Year Eve’s party was good except there were no Appetizers or Drinks, we had to purchase drinks all night. Champagne was served at midnight. One day I left my Fanny Pack in the 14th Floor bathroom, the handbag/purse ...
