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.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Main dining room food was good. Windjammer quality was good but repetitive. Chops had serious lapse in service
