Review summary

Overall this cruise was a horrible experience for me. I’ve been on 5 other Royal Caribbean Cruises and had an amazing time. I’ve never had such a bad experience as I did on this Singapore cruise.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
The embarkation experience was chaotic.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
There was no variety, every single night was more of the same thing. Compared to my other Royal Caribbean Cruises this was not even in the running.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
The activities were great, but they added an extra charge for them unlike other Royal Caribbean Cruises.

Children's Programs

Didn’t bring any children.

Service and Staff

1 out of 5
My dining room waiter was amazing!!! He was very attentive and helpful. I rated service as terrible because I purchased a scrub and massage from the spa. This service was very terrible because the staff assigned to me was racist, she refused to do the service and treated me horribly. She didn’t tell me how to use the showers or what products she was using. I had a 75 minute service of which she spent 30 minutes in the room with me and the other time washing her hands. I will never book a spa service again.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The ship was pretty clean and the layout was okay. The ship smelled like urine in the hallways of our cabins.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
My cabin was what I expected and it was clean.

Ship tip

I wouldn’t advise people to go on this cruise because the people were rude and it was overrun with children.

Ports of call

Singapore

Penang (Pulau Pinang), Malaysia

1 out of 5
Yes we did an excursion and it was okay but the bus driver was smoking on our bus which was horrible. The bus also had roaches. Very nasty bus.

Phuket, Thailand

4 out of 5
This was a nice stop. Didn’t do an excursion through the boat.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
Again this experience was chaotic.
