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 ...
Found two worlds on this cruise amazing staff Great rooms and wonderful decor Food was excellent although i kind of expected more based on the marketing Cabin room attendants were great and attentive Most waiters were punctual and polite Overall entry level staff was good
Above is the Heaven part
Management and reception desk was HELL on earth unless you like to be lied to ...
The ship altered the itinerary by an hour or 2 at each port (shorter), and that sent the shore excursion department into convulsions . There were line ups of 15 to 25 people constantly as the Shore excursion desk.
We enjoyed the lovely ship and our veranda B2 cabin was the nicest we have ever had at sea, (after 15 cruises.)
The food in the Terrace cafe was outstanding. We had a good ...
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 ...
