Review summary

The large majority of the non-Asain cruisers were extremely displeased with the rude behavior of the chinese cruisers (who were 90+% of the cruisers on the ship). The staff of the cruise explained that the behavior of the Chinese was due to their culture. The staff kept us 100% separated from the Chinese cruisers in the restaurants: the Chinese sat in the front and middle of the restaurants, non-chinese in the back. However, the staff were extremely nice.

We are sailing Ovation from Beijing to Singapore and expect ship to be full of Asians. If that’s their culture, then we’ll just have to join them, and do the same!

I noticed they are rude to other Chinese as well. They push in queues, arrive late to shows and block people's view.

Sorry to hear that. I’ve been seeing lots of complaints on that. I’m glad to see you still have it 4 stars so it must have had some good parts.
