Asia Cruise Reviews

We booked the cruise because of the great itinerary (as advertised), which included port calls at the 3 Japanese islands. NCL had then decided to consolidate the 3 stops to 2 - only in Okinawa. The extra day was turned into a sea day! About 1 week before sailing, NCL elected to move the disembarkation port from Yokohama to Koto City in Tokyo. Despite of complaints, NCL's position was "too ...

My first time sailing with Cunard having sailed mainly with Royal Caribbean (14 cruises) and I was so disappointed. 1, the stateroom was nice but the balcony was stained and rusty. 2, the ship felt old and tired. 3, the shops on board catered for people who wanted expensive watches and jewellery, ladies clothes, booze and the normal Cunard material. 4, I didn’t purchase the $400+ ...

The ship is magnificent, although the recent refurbishment in 2023 didn't reach all the staterooms( not allowed to call them cabins), the carpet in our room was badly stained. When contemplating a cruise with Cunard get everything in writing, we spent 3 hours on the phone between NZ and Australia with the Cunard agent and decided to upgrade our stateroom to a room with an un-interrupted view, on ...

Emerald met and exceeded our expectations. Their level of service is top rate. You will always be greeted with a smile and a helping hand if needed. There were so many individuals on our tour and ship that enhanced the experience and we are grateful for them all. The ship itself is beautiful. We loved our room, the pool deck, lounge and dining room. The food was absolutely ...

The Good - This is a smaller ship so slightly more personal touch than the larger ships and you will meet the same people and recognize faces fairly quickly. The facilities on board are fairly limited compared to the more modern larger ships but none the less still very good. The restaurants in particular Luminae for suite guests were very good - slightly limited standard menu but the food ...

I am amazed to see some of the negative reviews written regarding this cruise! I can hardly comprehend we were on the same ship at the same time. I therefore had to write a review even though I don’t usually do so. We had the most incredible cruise. We have been cruising over 20 years with a variety of different cruise lines and Celebrity are by far our favourite. We ate at Blu. The staff were ...

Second time on Norwegian Jewel. Previous time was nice but not amazing. We chose it again because of the itinerary. What we did not like this time: - lack of sufficient and clear information prior to embarkation. the website is not working properly, no responses on email or phone. Problems with booking excursions. - the ship's entertainment pretty much resembled last year's programme - ...

The ship was old fashion and dull which is weird because it's only 5 years old. Food in free places like Windjammer, Pizza Sorrento etc. was awful and tasteless, no imagination has used. Samekind of food every day. Like week before cruise RCCL sent message that one of places where ship stops is cancelled that ship will stop only one plase in Vietnam and in Thailand. That change RCCL ...

We especially chose this cruise ship because of its large cabin and bathroom and the "best cruise for cuisine". We have been on a lot of Azamara and Regent cruises and thought we should try this new experience. It started badly as we were sent to the wrong terminal in Bangkok. We got on board and were very pleased with our cabin (A1). The attendant Gede and his assistant Mark were excellent. ...

The ship is excellent, well designed and thought out. Hardly anything was missing. Good coffee/tea station, no kettles in room, without fi generally works OK on the Mekong. Rooms have plenty of room and bathroom is super. The staff are fantastic, though perhaps a bit over attentive for us. Helpful, courteous and always a smile. Sometimes it's hard for them to understand your needs on good, it ...
