Other (Asia/Africa/Middle East) Cruise Reviews

Our tours booked for Abi Dubai we're changed by celebrity & they did not do properly nor did they take into account info posted on our departure..someone goofed there as on last morning they were dropping us in downtown ... Why ?? Thus, we received a refund.

The ports-of-call were truly once in a lifetime experiences. The tours, while being somewhat pricey, were handled efficiently and professionally. The ship's cleanliness and staff were above average. The food in the buffet was average, while the food in the dining room was above average. The wait staff was friendly and efficient. The entertainment in the theater was better than most cruises we've been on. I would not hesitate to recommend this ship and its staff to future travelers.

We in line for 3 hours to check-in, there must be a better way to check-in. When we got on board, the A/C was not working. No TV were available to see if there are any issue on the ship. The hot and cold water mix in the shower were not working, jump in and out of the water spray, The shower door would not close completely. Rarely see the steward vs in the past, we see that person several times a day. We were late to port of call and leave early due to engine issue. They try to cover it up by issue statement that was not correct. No compensation.

Loved the ship and staff. Food was great. Two of the ports were a waste of time and paying so much for a Visa for China was a waste of money since you don't need one for Hong Kong an Haikou had absolutely nothing to offer

We would do this line again, but look to the newer ship and potential upgrade to a suite. We really liked the staff and the destinations. Enjoyed staying overnight in a port so you could do two things, or just chill on the second day. But the rooms were small, the showers smaller and the bathroom did not feel clean to me. I think it can do with an overhaul. In addition, the food was mediocre at best. We enjoyed the Italian dinner at Aquafina, but for the others, they were worse than any other cruise line we had been, including Carnival.

loved the tours to Xian and the terracotta soldiers & the Great Wall. You can keep South Korea dirty & not much to see. Toyko lots of people & highways. Be prepared for the long distance between ports and destination at port.

Super cruise with great Ports. A lot of time in the Ports. Crew and entertainment was wonderful.

The staff was very good attentive to our needs and responsive. Food in the Buffet was very good. Especially the service and offerings. Land trips through the cruise lines was informative. Tour guides English was good and the information about the local history was educational.

We paid a lot of money for a suite, but didn’t know it was going to be in such bad shape. The veranda was very small and needed painting, and the furniture is very tired. The view was less than suitable with a lifeboat that was very dirty directly beneath us. Fresh fruit does not have mold on it ( I have a photo of it).

Excellent crewmen and women . The Endnonisionbcrewvlookedcafterbus and provided excellent service

The cruise was wonderful. It was so because the captain was everywhere overseeing to make sure the staff and facilities were in top shape.

Ship, food and staff were excellent. Tours were in general poor. Hong Kong pre tour was poorly organized and over priced. Beijing extension was top shelf with wonderful sites and guides. Optional dinner was spectacular. Included lunches were very good.

Awesome ship. The staff was very accommodating. The food was tasty but not so much for the fish other than delicious crab legs & sushi. We enjoyed the wine list as it was interesting to try different wines by the glass. This was something we enjoyed as they rotated the same wines over & over, We simply just got bored. The spa was absolutely wonderful but better than using space for a casino. The included tours were not great but somewhat acceptable. Not a luxury cruise but totally fine. I'm not sure that if I paid full price that I would've given it such good reviews.

I’m impressed how well changes and accommodations could be made in Yokohama because of a typhoon, then later the itinerary changes because of the second typhoon. Celebrity shore excursions were expensive, and none for the “mild” activity rating. A nice alternative was the availability of free shuttles.

Egypt is a wonderful destination. Very safe and varied, superb service by the crew and Egyptologist and sights you don’t see anywhere else. You should go!

We disembarked 11 days earlier because of the bad quality of the food. Additionally the itinerary was changed eliminating three ports, two of which were highlights of the cruise: Incheon for Seoul and Osaka for Kyoto. After going through a Gale Storm and the Typhoon Trami, there was another typhoon heading towards the ships path. We had had enough very scary and uncomfortable days at sea rocking and rolling at the middle of the sea.

It was our honeymoon and the staff treated us like rockstars!

The large majority of the non-Asain cruisers were extremely displeased with the rude behavior of the chinese cruisers (who were 90+% of the cruisers on the ship). The staff of the cruise explained that the behavior of the Chinese was due to their culture. The staff kept us 100% separated from the Chinese cruisers in the restaurants: the Chinese sat in the front and middle of the restaurants, non-chinese in the back. However, the staff were extremely nice.

i do not believe Princess had adequately catered for 3500 Australian passengers. Specific beers, wines were frequently unavailable and inadequate seating in the Crown Grill bar. Frustratingly, one of the four elevators forward was out of action for the whole 22 day voyage, citing unable to get parts, despite stopping at sophisticated cities such as Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore. Numerous times elevators would bypass our deck, particularly when the Princess Theatre was being used.
