Other (Asia/Africa/Middle East) Cruise Reviews

Enjoyed it very much Liked the art classes Zumba Cruise director graham Seymour did a great job

The cruise was excellent, staff fantastic. Places visited ere interesting and moving. Aldi koo able to do a lot on your own as free shuttles were offered to most towns that were not within walking distance.

Japan did not disappoint, wonderful on so many levels. However the ship did not match expectations sadly

This was our first time with Silverseas, and it certainly wont be the last. We were hugely impressed with all aspects of the cruise, with the slight exception of the rather dated nature of the ship (shes 19 years old) and the fact she needs some TLC. There is a complete refit due however which will resolves these issues

Great experience.. We have cruised Japan before and enjoyed both. This one was better than the previous one we had been on.

Found the people on board this cruise to be rude and ignorant for the most part. We did meet a few nice couples but few a far between. As it was a round the world cruise most had been on it from the start and we boarded for the last leg. Nothing for younger people to do as all geared up for the older, retired ones. Would not do this again.

The farewell cruise to this particular ship was sad, as we enjoy Explorer of the Seas, but it won't return to our shores. The weather was not the best mainly in Airlie beach and Cairns, because of it rendering was cancelled. But we enjoyed staying onboard.

Whilst any cruise is good the Explorer is a little tired.The majority of the entertainment crew appeared disinterested. They have a big screen on the pool deck but mostly play skateboard crashes etc on it day after day. It seemed that the cruise director did not cater for the age demographic but just went through the motions

Loved it and the ship and food was the highlight Ports were interesting except Darwin which was awful.

Our second cruise on Diamond Princess and we’re hoping we go again soon.

This cruise is well worth doing & Diamond Princess will not disappoint

Fabulous cruise, excellent weather, perfectly calm seas. Great entertainment on board.interesting ports of call. Well done Princess, I had a great time.

This was our first cruise and I was worried that being in our late thirties there wouldn't be much to do but it caters for most people.

We set our expectations to high for a large ship entertainment was below part to others ships dj well what can I say without being rude I just leave that to imaination Cruise director wast of space and mardy and aggressive if you splash him

This is our seventh Seabourn cruise and the best ever. I believe this was due to the Sojourn leadership of hotel director Luca and F&B Antonio. They are Seabourn old school who sailed on the orginal Pride, Legend and Spirit.

We had another splendid experience in the Yacht Club section of the MSC Splendida cruise in the Arabic Emirates. Excellent butler service, and delicious dishes in the speciality restaurant. You feel yourself a special guest at home in the YC. Captain comes personnally to the lounge, while he takes time to talk with every individual passenger.

Great cruise line. Everything always runs smoothly.

This was the first part of a longer cruise that continued to Southampton, and many of the remarks above apply to the whole trip. With luck, I'll be able to review the other segments. I don't know if it was the ship or the air travel, but I came down with a bad cough that took me three weeks to shake. Fortunately, the weather was warm and the seas flat, so I took to sleeping on our balcony. The high humidity helped a lot.

Best way to see 4 of Asia's biggest cities on 2 week vacation. Well, you do want to stay a couple of nights before and after the cruise to truly enjoy Hong Kong and Tokyo

Most cruisers were disappointed by the awful food. The meat was chewy and full of gristle. Most of the food lacked any flavour and was always cold. The waiting staff did not have much expertise. The bar staff were very busy and often brought the wrong drinks.
