Other (Asia/Africa/Middle East) Cruise Reviews

We enjoyed this cruise and loved the ports of call. We did get very sick because people don't cover their mouths when they sneeze or cough. We got a good introduction to the medical centre. It is very good but expensive.

Internet was poor and expensive. The IT staff needs training on active listening.

I have to be honest and say I did not enjoy Vietnam at all. I would never go back and was disapointed how 3rd world it really is. Im glad Ive seen what I have seen - but willl never return. Taiwan was great - the 1 oport I saw due to me being sick. The ovver all cruise was great - we met lovely people at out MDR Dining Table and will keep in contact. Maybe our expetations were too high after our last cruise to Alaska. It wont stop us cruising but I wouldnt return to those countries.

Poor Service, Old boat in disrepair. Staff unengadged. No food after 9:30pm and no drinks after 10:30pm

Great trip. Really enjoyed myself. Looking forward to another one on a different ship.

The ports of call very good especially Beni Yas Island staff tried hard but management organisation let them down. Drinks expensive and having to pay for water at dinner table is out of order !!

A highly recommended overview of these south asian countries. Lots of time to explore and tour, and many non-HAL options available. This review did not provide the opportunity to review Halong Bay. There we did a taxi to the city in the morning with a quick overview of the city, then return to the boat for our HAL Halong Bay excursion with lunch. The lunch was amazing and the boat tour a must in Halong Bay.

Not sure it was worth upgrading to a balcony for the overall cruise experience. Save your money, stick with a lower cabin and then it becomes value for money. Don’t waste time or money on the specialty restaurants

Overall enjoyable with friends. But wish there were more staff on hand to guide and a onboard, messenger app for communication

Overall Costa Cruise left a bad taste in mouth due to unpleasant encounters from Italian passengers and crew. Everything else is fine.

Some experiences cannot be expressed in words , you can just feel them. They are above the words of expression.

Quite satisfied. Crew should more polite. Food should more variety.anyway,we did enjoy on this cruise and unforgetable. Still, why we cannot go to Penang .this was so ...

I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CRUISE. IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST CRUISES WE HAVE TAKEN IN 25 PLUS YEARS OF CRUISING. AAA++++

We loved all the locations we visited. We had a great time on board of the Millennium thanks to the great personnel.

The cruise was very good. We were unable to visit one port because of bad weather and arrived at Halong Bay just a couple of hours earlier. It would have been better if he had more time an had arrived about four or five hours earlier. All the ports were very interesting and we learned a lot about Vietnam that we were not aware of.

Would do it again maybe on a Bigger Trip because of the Bad Seas and my older age

We really enjoyed our time on board. Enjoyed the food and drinks of course!

The cabin could have been 5*. However the A\C did not work and we had to keep the cabin door open so that cooled air in the corridor could get in. Our door on to the lanai deck was broken so we could get no fresh air from that source. Many cabins on our deck, although not ours, had major water leaks which left a disgusting smell in the corridors. Not a great experience when we had to keep the inner door open for cool air. For the first few days aboard there was a strong smell of burnt metal and sawdust. This seemed to disappear after 3 or 4 days but perhaps we just got used to it. My wife, and many other passengers, suffered from a chest complaint shortly after boarding but fortunately she recovered after 5 days. Coincidentally the same time as the A/C was repaired and the smelly dampness was dried up. The ship was just out of dry dock and the repairs had obviously not been completed. There was work going on in many parts of the ship. The wooden rail on the aft pool deck had a 3ft gap which was bridged by a plank of wood screwed in place!!!

Old ship with a lot of problems that were fixed very slow. Guest service poor response. Cabin stewards, food, restaurant service, entertainment were between good and excellent.

Overall a very interesting trip, with exotic stops, would like more time in Bangkok,This was definitely a high light, so much to see and love Thai food.glad we added days in the beginning and end to see bot Singapore and HongKong in depth
