Wonderful Far-East cruise by SyedAndSeeme

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Spectrum of the Seas

We are back to pre-Covid level of passengers. I miss the small period of time when the ships were not full. The weather was hot and its going to get hotter so if you enjoy that kind of weather, this cruise is for you. Enjoyed visiting Ho Chi Minh city and Bangkok and of course Singapore is amazing. Those were the highlights of our cruise.

Interesting places by JuanisG

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Westerdam

I had been wanting to take this cruise for many years and was extremely disappointed that a week before sailing one of the ports was cancelled - Semarang (one of the main reasons we took this cruise. I would have cancelled this cruise if we were not already in Singapore. Lombok was added at the last moment and it caused a shortage of time in several of the ports, so activities in the ports had to be reduced.

our seventh continent by rickm87

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Star

We were extremely fortunate that cruising the straits of Magellan and the Drake passage we had a very smooth ocean and with great sunny weather for all but one day when cruising by Deception and Elephant Island. Only mishap was we were not allowed to tender at Stanly (Falkland Islands), most of understand that safety is most important.

Hot Cold Hot Again...Amazing Cruise by hets313

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Celebrity Infinity

We survived Drake Passage and made it to Antarctica. The white continent is truly pristine and you have to see it because the pics just don't do it justice. It was a challenge to pack but we did it! Bring your warm clothes!! I'm not sorry I wore my Ugg boots and just had to do a quick change of shoes when I arrived in 90 degree Buenos Aires heat. Take the penguin excursions - you won't be disappointed.

Fabulous Scenery, Wildlife, and Accommodations. by chcoha

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Seabourn Venture

The trip went off with no problems. We had a wonderful experience. We did have a few wind related problems for two landings but the team was able to adjust schedule so we missed only one landing. The land excursions and zodiac excursions were great. We were able to see almost all the wildlife that was stated we would see and the landscapes were unbelievable.

Overbooked and under staffed by DrO46

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Westerdam

The ship was filled to capacity but with only a maximum of 5 tenders it meant there were waits of 1 to 1 1/2 hours to board tenders and always long lines everywhere on the ship and no seats in the Lido. The ship may have beds for 2,000 passengers but it cannot properly serve them or get them on/off the ships. It was the worst HAL cruise since we started with them in 1991. The itinerary was wonderful but the ship just didn't function with so many guests.

Chaotic beginning and ending by snowlaurie

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Star / Destination: Other (Asia/Africa/Middle East)

The cruise was not what we had expected especially with no stops in the Antarctic, nor getting close enough to shore to photograph anything. Should have had a high-powered, long-range lens in order to see anything. A couple of the shows were good and the rest no-so-good.

Excellent Antartica Cruise by mbsteffen

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Celebrity Infinity / Destination: Other (Asia/Africa/Middle East)

It was an excellent cruise from start to finish. The entire crew on the Infinity were always smiling, helpful, and their to make your adventure enjoyable. I hope my next Celebrity cruise has the same amount of personal care as the team on this ship.

Amazing ship! by scotchirisheyz

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Spectrum of the Seas / Destination: Other (Asia/Africa/Middle East)

Short cruise but very enjoyable. The ship is huge and has so many amenities it would be best for a longer cruise to experience it all. Really appreciated the set-up. Even the buffet was amazing! Wonderland is a must-do. The 270° lounge is pretty cool and went there for breakfast. The staff is friendly and efficient. Can't wait to go back, even if it takes 20 hours each way to get there.

Nightmare Cruise by myjoie1999

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Spectrum of the Seas / Destination: Other (Asia/Africa/Middle East)

I`ve done an Asian cruise with another carrier. It was more pleasant. RCCL might have fancy big ships but the basic services are poor. They need to think of passengers comfort. We paid too much to be disappointed
