Ship presents beautifully - very clean and well decked out. Check in was quite quick even though they weren't ready for us when we arrived (early) took less than an hour from check in to being in our cabin. Our cabin steward Chen was incredible as too was our waitress marina. In fact out of the 9 cruises I have been on marina was the best waitress we have ever had. She insisted we try everything, so each night brought us many extras to eat when we couldn't decide what to choose. Main dining room menu was excellent and food at a high standard even though celebrity and princess do seem to be more upmarket. The entertainment in the main theatre was quite good - all acts were different and quite diverse. We sat at the adult pool every day and enjoyed the quiet. Very few children on board as not school holidays. Windjammer food was a bit repetitive - always a hassle as busy but could always find a table at the end. The ports were excellent albeit some far away from the main areas but shuttles were organised to accommodate this. We were in one of the new cabins in deck 12- highly recommended as great quiet position and seem larger than any balcony room we have had before.
Shopping on board was probably the worst I have encountered- always the same things came out to sell - not the usual diversity I have seen on previous cruises. Quite disappointing.
The pizza cafe bar was always busy and the food served there was good.
Excellent. Chen knew exactly what we wanted after the first day. He was never to be seen except when we needed him! Like magic! Stateroom perfect. Thanks Chen
Tokyo amazing. Spent a week there. People amazing. Great place to visit. We looked up trip advisor top ten things to do in Tokyo and pretty much did them. Scramble crossing was amazing. Stayed in shibuya area which was fun. Love the presents they give out on the streets. Found the people very helpful and warm to tourists.
