Other (Asia/Africa/Middle East) Cruise Reviews

Cool. Summer-winter！ Very unusual。 India and Sri Lankan require psychological training。

The cruise was a disaster from day one. On checkin told ship would not go the HK. Last Vietnam port would be missed out as ship would return to Singapore. In total we only went to 3 ports with 7 days at sea instead of 7 ports of call and 3 days at sea. NCL refusing refunds. Claims in ref Travel Package Regulations for significant changes to cruise itinerary.

Very disappointing cruise. Missed 5 ports due to Coronavirus. NCL should have cancelled this cruise. Only saw 2 out of 7 ports.

Really enjoyed this cruise, wonderful sights to see, people extremely friendly and helpful

Chose this cruise based on iternary supposed to be sir yas island, Bahrain, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, and dubai. Because of safety issues a month before Bahrain was canceled and a double day in Abu dhabi was added. This was a bit disappointing but worked out just fine as we were able to explore more of Abu Dhabi. We arrived in Dubai 4 nights pre cruise as we live in Chicago where weather could be unpredictable. We arranged this on our own. Check in at the port was super organized but seemed to go very slow because of the health questionnaires . Also be aware they take your Passports away at check in and you pick them up the day before you port in Abu Dhabi which was a terrible feeling . We checked in at 11am and we did get out cards at check in which was nice. We went stright to windjammer and ate. The windjamner has lots of food options. We then walked around. I love smaller ships it easier to learn where your going. What was amazing on this ship that I'm not used to is getting to be able to go to our stateroom at 1pm. We went to our room interior 2v room 9611. It was a great size for us both plenty of storage. What we didnt like was we had a tea pot in our room took up space. Our room attendant was in the hallway Adriana she introduced herself and was superhepful and amazing during our entire cruise stay. She made animals out of towels on some days as well as a birthday cake towel on my birthday. We spent most of our time in the smoking area by the pool bar. Timothy and Jude in the pool bar area are fantastic. They got our drink order right away made us feel extremely special. In the evening we had dinner at 8:30 pm in the dining area our server Davor and his assistant Mo were beyond exceptional. Our dinner always came out quick and on point. Mo after day 2 knew what wine to always bring. This type of dining sevice was the best I've ever had on RC. The first night we had terrible wind causing the ship to be very wobble that night entertainment was a hand balancing act that was superb. The next day going to sir Bani yas island the tender was bouncey and took 15 mins to get over. We booked the safari through RC and really enjoyed it we saw giraffe, cheetahs, gazelle, lots of different birds and animals. It was worth it to us. After we layed on the beach on the free wooden lounge chairs be careful I flipped over. Also what's nice is drink from our drink package could be used here and they provided a buffet lunch. Doha, Qatar, was the next day and RC charges 10 a person to drop you off at a mall in the city center. This was terrible as I needed to be at the Islamic art museum for a tour I booked separately with Falcon Tours. After 35 mins on the bus they finally left after I argued that I didnt pay to sit on a bus but go into town and realized we should have taken a taxi. Also to exchange money we needed a passport and thank god one place accepted the copy we had on our phone. Our tour with falcon tours was amazing. The next day was a sea day which the sun chairs were quickly taken. I'm not sure how they do with a full ship as we had a hard time find lounge chairs and we were half full. The next 2 days were Abu Dhabi we did Ferrari world one day and the hop off and hop on bus the next with the grand mosque definitely visit the mosque. The last 2 days were in dubai. We did some more exploring the free bus takes you to mercato jumeriah shopping mall it's a 30 min ride. It a bus with yellow on top and red on the bottom. We ubered back. Check out was super quick. But a bit disappointing first time we had to leave by 8:30am normally we leave about 10ish. This ship was definitely our favorite with the astounding service we received in every area. Workers here seemed to really enjoy being here. In the windjammer every morning Liu hand sanitizing and Jorge servicing bring our friend a bagel when she couldnt find them. Yes this ship doesnt need renovations badly but I love that its small and easy to get to know people and be serviced like a king and queen

More Cruise companies offering better / newer ships which have superior facilities. Horizon Court saved our holiday!! I have never used a buffer dining as much on other cruise’s lines, but due to the poor main 3 dining rooms Horizon Court excelled above them.

As above. We were promised a full refund and 50% off next cruise

The Celebrity Millenium is a lovely ship. The staff were faultless. It felt spacious but a large number of passengers had cancelled due to the virus.

Cruise cancelled due to coronavirus but Celebrity made our short time on board totally fabulous. Couldn’t fault the care and attention received in what must have been a pretty tense situation. They tried hard to get us to different ports, but no luck and the captain took the difficult decision to cut the cruise short. We are to receive a full refund and 50% off a future cruise. How’s that for exceptional service?

Enjoyed the ship and abundance of restaurants and bars, cabin was good too. So so excursions but was disappointed with first NCL cruise

Although the show is not in English, Italian instead, We still enjoy the cruise a lot!

As a cruise it's obviously still in the development stage and I'm in time they will develop the ports of call more. Some really exciting plans in place for the port of Dubai already in place. A week on Jewel is perfect, any longer would become very repetitive. We had a wonderful vacation and met some really lovely and interesting people but as I've stated, some on formal nights were embarrassing and down right rude! This was our interpretation and I'm sure some won't agree but I'll say it as I see it and all to their own 🙄

Had A very nice Cruise with lovely weather and A lots of good excursions. Are going on Jewel of the Sea again In august

A long 46 day cruise, excellent time on board with good weather, a good itinerary, spoilt only by the onset of COVID-19 which meant we had to miss a couple of ports. Sadly. Princess do not do this cruise annually. There were a lot of sea days but we were able to keep ourselves amused. Disappointed though with lack of Dance/Vocal shows and the standard of stand alone entertainers seems to have dropped

Ship in need of complete clean and better food, entertainment.

Very interésting places to visit. Tours must be improved. Otherwise people are going to start using outside operators likeVIATOR. They offer better prices the language you require.

Loved this cruise. Staff made it all perfect. Would certainly do another one

This cruise is the first of many as I was extremely satisfied of the service, the quality and the efficiency of all activities on board!

Thoroughly enjoyed this cruise. Staff so friendly and helpful and everywhere so clean

Great cruise! Great selection at the windjammer Cafe. Ship caters to a very international market.
