Well it was my first time going on a cruise so I think it was alright. Good thing Super Star Virgo (SSV) decided to port in Manila because finally I experienced going on a cruise! I didn't really know what to expect so everything is bright and shiny for me. Haha.
I did read some of the reviews here hence the title. The other reviews kind of prepared me on what to expect but hey I still enjoyed ...
We Chose the cruise because it leaves departs 1 hour away from where we live, so we save a lot from not having to buy Airtickets to go on a cruise, which sometimes is half or same price as the actual cruise.
Originally it was Manila-Naha-Keelung-Manila, but because of some problems with the top speed of the ship, it was changed to Manila-Miako jima-Keelung-Manila, which wasn't to our liking, ...
My terrible cruise was on the superstar virgo with star cruises. i have been on 13 cruises, so these comments are from an experienced, knowledgeable traveller... This is by far the worst cruise i have ever been on! I thought costa with their discount vacation was scrapping the bottom of the barrel, but star cruises, at twice the cost, was much, much worse!
It appears this company does not ...
i chose this cruise because the port of embarkation is in Manila. No need to travel by air as we have many senior citizens with us.
No need to get visa to get to Taiwan and Japan.
I was apprehensive at first since a critic got disappointed on his last cruise. But i was so happy that I really enjoyed every part of the cruise... from dining to entertainment to shore excursions.
There were ...
i am writing this review because i am very disappointed. 1st of all this is not a family oriented cruise. the dances and costumes are provocative not fit for children. one show the magic spirit show. one dance reminded me I am in an adult bar. the cocktail gala the costume of the dancer is very revealing and there are children present. The food buffet, star dining, lido and pavilion which are ...
Check-in - there was a long line even if we already checked-in online. You had to go through the following: queue to go inside the port to drop your luggages, queue again to go inside the air-conditioned room to get your cabin card (they gave us bread and a bottle of mineral water), queue again to go through x-ray, queue again for immigration which took more than an hour (but there were seats). ...
Just came back from my first Star Cruise, it was my 80th overall cruise.... Sorry to say it was the worse cruise I have ever been on. Six days five nights of nothing but problems and a cruise line that cares nothing about passengers and customer first. All other major cruise lines pre-clear the passengers at the port stops, Star does not instead causing passengers to wait over two hours to get off ...
We went on the new Genting Dream cruise ship from dream cruises. (there was no option to pick it above). Dream cruise is just the premium luxury arm of star cruises which has been around for quite some time.
The 1 yr old Genting dream is the new large luxury cruise ship with the even newer ship the world dream being launched this year
We went on a 6 day 5 night Christmas cruise to Indonesia ...
Don't waste your money.
I chose this cruise because it started and ended in HK, where my son lives and we were looking forward to a short XMas family holiday together, visiting Vietnam.
I had never been on a cruise, but so many people told me that it's a great way to see different places, without much extra expense, nor the hassle of moving from hotel to hotel and that the food is always ...
This was the first cruise when Star Cruise's SuperStar Virgo was home-ported in Shanghai for the first time, which will last till November. And here they offer a standard 7-night cruise to Japan, by standard I mean the world norm, when in China the cruises are shorter. And because of the fast cruising speed of this older ship (funny that all competing state-of-art new ships simply cannot do a ...
