Other (Asia/Africa/Middle East) Cruise Reviews

As we cruised with friends from previous cruises we all had a good time with plenty of laughs along the way.We all liked the Any Time Dining so we had a table with the same waiters each night which was good.

Cruise was overall OK much mini suite and club class dining excellent some of the excursions I felt were overpriced and poorly organised especially cycling in Na Trang Entertainment was generally good Seating etc over crowded Too many Elite members

For a first time cruise I was really let down disappointed having been the first I would say in overall it's put myself and partner off to cruise again along with others on the ship saying the same worst cruise they have done and done plenty

The best way to see Southeast Asia! A safe and comfortable way to see Asia. I highly recommend it!

Whilst the ship is tired and in need of a refit the staff were excellent. Mind you, the concierges need to take their roll much more seriously and look after their guests. Our cabin steward seemed to be run off his feet, either that or he was very slow. At times our cabin was not ready until after 2.00pm which meant we could not enjoy the cabin as much as we wanted. Make sure you arrange your dining times well in advance of the ships sail otherwise they are not flexible with changes, even being in a Grand Suite.

Overall a very enjoyable and memorable trip and one I would recommend to others wanting a small taste is South East Asia. We've experienced 4 cruises with Royal Caribbean and although we're booked to do our 5th next year, I'm a little concerned that their service standards are not as high as they once were - it could simply just be this this ship is larger than the others we've been on.

The staff were great. As an elite passenger i was shocked to find that Princess has introduce a class system "club class" . We were allowed to eat dinner in the resturant but not breakfast. Once i explained i don't believe in the class system as everyone should be treated the same. After i expressed this, they sorted this out by moving us to the pacific moon and the staff made us feel like family. Thanks for sorting this out and it made us very happy. If there is a club class dining room, they need to keep it just for this class and not mix others. To be fair, this is my point of view only, Others maybe happy with it

Overall, we had a fun time. The ship and the staff were great - but there were issues which seem to be mainly to do with the dining, as described above. The buffet was very busy and it was impossible for our family of six - we tried various times and abandoned the idea. The ports we visited were probably chosen to be appropriate for the size of ship. We loved Japan and the Japanese people - but I don’t feel we saw the best of Japan. Hong Kong was brilliant and the highlight of he holiday -so much to do and see.

It was the worst cruise I have ever been on.The food was mediocre.The wind jammer was very hard to find a seat.Chinese were reserving up to ten seats at a time taking large plates of food when it ran out wasn't being replaced.The ship says no smoking is allowed in indoor public areas yet the casino is like an opium den the amount of smokers using it.At the end of the cruise we were told to leave early to give the ship a deep cleaning because of a novo virus outbreak.The hall where we collected our cases had thousands of people in it and was a nightmare

Loved Japan and Hong Kong. The cruise experience was a bit disappointing

Very unimpressed with the dining arrangements could not get a reservation all cruise in the three main dining rooms. The food in the Windjammer was well below the usual high standard. Most passengers were very disillusioned with Royal and first time cruisers said they would never travel with the company again. The food and dining arrangements let the company down I have done several cruises with Royal and this is the first one I have given a negative review.

Fabulous ship and excellent itinerary which was Hong Kong, Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Kumamoto, Shimonoseki and back to Hong Kong, not as the app lists it. As noted, facilities on the ship are universally excellent and two many to list here. We felt that the food menu especially was compromised by the location and ethnicity of a proportion of the passengers which is very understandable, but this had a big impact on the lack of choice on the main dining rooms. We love trying new foods, but it all got very ‘samey’’ after the first few days. One casualty that we didn’t know about was Jonny Rockets, which has been replaced with a permanently empty noodle bar. I don’t eat many burgers, but a do enjoy a Jonny rocket or two - not at the same time... The lack of manners and poor treatment of staff was very evident all over the ship, primarily by passengers from a specific country. We were not at all happy to see this, but the brilliant staff dealt with it very well. Overall a very enjoyable cruise, with some aspects that were a little disappointing.

overall below expectation, inexperience cruise director

The weather turned it on for our cruise beautiful 30c days,lots of swimming reading and eating the highest quality of food.Our best cruise yet but we are planning more with princess cruises.

Overall a great experience. Great room service and main dining room, interesting shows and enough to keep us busy all 4 days. Only if the kids club staff was more friendly, the experience would have been exceptional.

Breakfast and lunch at the buffet restaurant is good. There are lots of attendants at the buffet restaurant and tables get clean up pretty fast. Dinner at the main dinning room is not bad either except I do not like the time arrangement, 2 choice of dinner time, either 5:45pm or 7:45pm. You are required to sit at the same table and at the same restaurant. Another I hate is captain night which request you bring a suit. The entertainment on board is pretty good. Since it is a cruise go around Japan, more than half are Japanese. The on-shore excursion for Japanese speaking is about 30% cheaper than the English speaking tours.

A very good trip. Booked it only 2 days from embarkation so took our chances with the last cabin 9n the ship. Lots of character and fun.

This was our four Azamara Cruise having done 170 cruises in 30 years. One of our favorite ships and captain. A very nice experience except for the dining room service.

Was an asian cruise fill of them rude and horrible. Should have been told about the cruise before leaving and hiven the option to change.

As a whole, taking account of the duration, ratio of days at sea and ports of call, choosing the Cunard Queen Elizabeth was the good choice for us. We wanted to be impressed, to relax, to spoil ourselves and we did achieve our goal!..... We will be back!!
