Transpacific Cruise Reviews

Trip was very enjoyable. Wish the entertainment was better. Everyone had a great attitude but the shows were lacking, very disappointing. Ice show was good especially considering the quality of the ice and the ship's movement. Food was also just so-so, some very good options that I will miss. Fresh bread on ship was excellent. Service in the dining room and room attendant were excellent.

First time to Asia. Had a great time. Met many new friends and great people. The bartenders were friendly and entertaining.

We really enjoyed this cruise, even though it was 60 days. The only issues were the missed ports, as we were really looking forward to Kushiro & Osaka, Japan.

Poor organization, very average food, no communication between ship personnel and passengers. Great ports, very average execution.

The best cruise other than the WORLD CRUISES I have been on. Wish they had this itinerary as a staple, but alas, it seems this was a one off.

Entertainment was poor in my estimation. Had to arrive in theatre almost 45 minutes early to get a seat for a 45 minutes show! Dining menu's boring and poor planning on when to serve delicacies like Lobster, Prime Rib, etc.

We had a fabulous time on this cruise, despite the problems that did arise. The crew and fellow passengers were great. Missing ports, running out of lettuce on our 7 days at sea between Guam and Honolulu were small annoyances compared to the fun we had on board and in port. The internet problems were the worst part of the trip, but the agent on duty did his best to remain patient and helpful. Give that guy a raise - he took a lot of abuse.

This was such a fantastic holiday and we enjoyed every minute. To get up at 5am and watch the ship manoeuvre through Endicott Arm, surrounded by sheer cliffs and watch the sunrise .......priceless!!!

Fantastic trip! Weather was perfect every stop with sunny days and great temperatures. Seas were fairly calm the entire trip except for a couple nights of rocking. Had to stop at an unscheduled port to let a sick passenger off In Russia and as we approached a Volcano erupted ( smoke only). The ship was very clean and crew were very friendly everywhere we went. Best itenerary ever. One of the best cruises we have been on.

The first thing that makes a cruise so great is the weather. On this cruise, things couldn't have been more perfect. We had sunny to mostly sunny weather in every port. The crossing of the Bearing Sea was fairly smooth. We had a couple of days that during part of the day there was rain but the seas were overall not bad. On a scale of 1-5, comparing it to my other travels, I'd have to rate this one as a 2. We had two typhoons, one of which we had to change course for. It caused us to arrive about 2 hours later than scheduled in one port, yet our seas were moderate and we still had sunny weather in our ports. The crew was very friendly and helpful. I had the chance to interact with many, at many different levels and always had very positive experiences. The ports were all very good. I really enjoyed all the places I visited. The itinerary was great. There are many descriptions of the Russian port. I found it to go very smoothly. I didn't book any type of excursion and just planned to go ashore. No problems. Once my turn came up I was able to go through the Russian immigration process on board and then tender to shore. I was able to go where I wanted and had a great time visiting Petropavlovsk. The people where friendly and I really enjoyed visiting Russia. I also found all the Japanese ports to be very enjoyable. I would definitely do this itinerary again if it comes up again.

While I liked the ship, there is a whole lot you can improve on. The heat of the food spoiled the choice. The other thing I didn't like was the having to walk passed the spa girls and having them trying to get you to buy. Please it is very off putting, if I wanted to go to the spa I would have walked in. Cruising is our favorite holiday, so will still be cruising.

This was an amazing experience. From the moment we embarked, through each and every port of call we had the best time! The staff were awesome, the scenery was spectacular and every day was a new adventure.

I love this trip. Service is very good. Food is good but all meats and fish are over cooked.

Ship is nice size. Captain is great. Crew is very friendly. Food was OK, but very little variety from day to day. Gratuities are always a sore spot with us. Only person who gave us any personal attention was Room Steward--we gave her a tip. We pay our fare; do not feel it is our responsibility to tip housekeeping, cooks, servers, and people cleaning tables. We never go to main dining because we like to sample different foods. Also, toilet was unreliable--flushing was very questionable.

I loved visiting the ports. Changes had to be made because of tge typhoon, and it’s amazing how everything could quickly be organized. Yokohama is a nice port to have as a base for more than one day.

Love the food options in the buffet the main dining room was dark love the café El Baccio, entertainment was awesome ship needed a facelift

i had an unfortunate incident in the private spa/thermal suite in which a woman too a picture of me on her cell phone she had on a selfie stick while i was in the shower nude, i reported this and i was told by the manager of the Mandara spa that cameras are allowed , i reported it to Security and asked for an investigation, i was told again that Cameras are allowed in those areas, when i repeatedly told them this woman was in the private locker room/changing area where many women are nude after their showers it was finally investigated...this invasion of privacy should be warned

This cruise offers one of the best itineraries for a repositioning cruise.

Great cruise. Be prepared for the time changes. During th crossing, the loss of 1 hour per night and 2 hours 1 day can be rough, not to mention the repeat of a day plays a bit of s mind trick on you.

It was a little rough in the beginning. A little confusing also because this was our first cruise. No one told us how they worked we had to figure it out for ourselves. And we never figured it out until the cruise was almost over.
