We spent a wonderful week in Singapore before boarding for the Cruise to Australia so we were looking forward to the cruise home. Voyager was the first ship we ever sailed on with Royal Caribbean several years ago and we were anticipating a great cruise similar to our previous experience. Boarding in Singapore was a nightmare. Very slow, hot and some not very accommodating port staff, in fact, ...
Keen to try the larger ship for the first time.
The OVation is a beautiful ship only 2 yr. young, the artwork & walk throughs are great, 270 at back of ship is great venue with the robots entertaining the humans. The theatre handles the large number of passengers & the smaller venues cope well with passenger numbers.
The staff were excellent, cannot fault, they are eager to please & satisfy ...
Chose this cruise for its repositioning itinerary. Prior to this cruise, the ship had been on short (3-4 day) gambling junkets out of Singapore targeted at Chinese passengers. Senior staff appeared not to have adapted policies and procedures for a longer cruise (15-30 days). (Some food items ran out early; insufficient recorded movies for the duration, daily charges were more appropriate for ...
Went on a 10 night crew from Singapore to Perth with family. Had read some negative comments before trip but I can not understand why. We loved it all!!
Embarkment started at 10.45 am and was on board by 12.30pm. Very well organised. Had comfortable indoor air conditioned seating whilst waiting to move from checkpoint to checkpoint with water readily available.
Our cabin was ready by ...
6 day cruise repositioning
I have been on 2 tiny 600pax ship as a beginner and loved the experience. So when this repositioning cruise from Singapore package appear, being the biggest, newest, technological advanced mega bling boat, well gush, went to local Bicton Travel and booked.
Boarding in Singapore was very organise, approx. an hour to the room. Cabin 7310 down the back of the boat ...
We had a lovely 5 night stay in Singapore exploring the city and enjoying the facilities of our hotel. Then we joined the Voyager........ Food and service was well below standard and Specialty Restaurants were from average to awful, having sent two meals back for bad quality and cooking. The Ship was very dirty throughout and in need of a total refurbishment. Our balcony cabin was quite spacious ...
I have sailed with RCI for many year's, but would have to think very hard to select them again.
Size of Balcony cabin small, and a very small balcony indeed.
After a massive re-furb, I am not quite sure where they spent their money.
Food was average, and very small menu, or selection
My time dining was booked in advance and I had the confirmation from RCI with me, when we went to ...
i booked this cruise so we can see Singapore and being on Allure of the seas from fort lauderdale we thought it was going to be wonderful sailing with Voyager. Well it started off with long long waiting to embark and loosing our customs piece of paper but the staff helped us out. Once on board we entered with positive but then realized not as big as Allure but hey we knew that from the start. ...
We boarded in Singapore: the boarding process was a shambles. We waited for nearly three hours to board. When we finally got on board, the lifeboat drill was held on deck in steamy temperatures causing distress to some elderly guests, again so slow that we finally gave a slow handclap to the crew. The food was fine, the standard of entertainment very average with a couple of exceptions. The tender ...
Firstly, I have cruised over 200 nights and if you are a new cruiser reading this my suggestion would be to forget all the smoke and mirrors and work out whatever cabin you choose, the net cost per night. I will explain at the end.
We had a wonderful cruise, RCCL always have lots of outdoor activities such as wave rider, mini golf, rock climbing , Basketball etc etc and they maintain there ...
