Review summary

I love repositioning cruises and this one was to be with friends. It was the first leg of a back to back through the Suez Canal

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Boarding was quite easy at Singapore. It is a modern and streamlined facility. As we were starting in singapore boarding was quick. Not so for people arriving on Ovation in the next berth.
